Young expressed in the video how much it meant to him to have friends and fans support him and reassure him that they do not believe he was involved in any of the events.
"It was a relief to see the charges dropped. I wouldn't want anyone to experience what I went through. However, the highlight was the overwhelming love and support I received."
The event occurred at a bar called the Dawg House located in the heart of Nashville.
In the security footage, Young appears composed as he tries to catch the attention of a Tennessee Alcohol Beverage Commission agent by reaching out his arm. The agent reacts by pushing Young, causing him to trip and fall backwards into the bar.
"I'm still trying to make sense of the false accusations and events from the past week," Young mentions at the beginning of the video. Towards the end, he shares that the encouragement from his fans motivated him to release a new song from his upcoming album ahead of schedule.
The new album "Double Down" will be released on Friday, February 2nd, at midnight.
"Turn up the volume, have a good time. I am grateful for you, I care about you, and I appreciate it," Young expresses.
