On March 5, country music star Blake Shelton scored his eighth No. 1 hit on Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart for his cover of "Who Are You When I'm Not Looking."
Tonight, however, people were looking when a tweet from his personal, verified account appeared to advocate anti-LGBT violence.
The tweet -- which claims to be a "re-writ[e]" of Shania Twain's "Any Man of Mine" -- states that if a man "tries Touching my behind He's gonna be a beaten, bleedin', heaving kind of guy..."
Shelton currently also is a "vocal coach" on the NBC show The Voice. The other coaches include Christina Aguilera, Adam Levine and Cee Lo Green.
The tweet in question:

lol wtf is wrong with you.. obviously he doesn't mention women in that tweet cause he WOULDNT HIT A WOMAN
jfc
It is not homophobic, the reason it doesn't include women is because it is not the same for man to hit a woman as it is for a man to hit a man. He can't just say "person" instead of "man" because then he is talking about beating women.
As in, he mentions men because he would not talk/joke about being a woman beater, he doesn't refer to men in that tweet out of homophobia.
