Blake Shelton rang in the new year on NBC by premiering a new song called ‘Minimum Wage‘. Unfortunately, fans were not pleased with the tone-deaf lyrics!

Someone tweeted:

 

Another person questioned the timing of the song saying:

 

Some of the song’s lyrics say:

You can make a six pack on the carpet
Taste like a million dollar bill
You can make a one bed room apartment
Feel like a house up on the hill
You can make my truck out in the driveway
Roll like a cleaned up Cadillac
Girl, lookin’ at you lookin’ at me that way
Can make a man feel rich on minimum wage

Girl, your love is money, your love is money
Yeah, your love can make a man feel rich on minimum wage
Girl, your love is money, your love is money
Yeah, your love can make a man feel rich on minimum wage

He hasn’t released the music video or song just yet, but here’s a clip!

Did you see the performance? What do you think of the song?

Country legend Ronnie Dunn came to Shelton’s aid saying:

“Now they want to attack country singers for being successful. I slept on a mattress on the floor in a musician friend’s spare bedroom and played beer joins / dive bars for years before I ever made $100. Most country singers pay dues and go through things to become successful that no sane human being would.”
