Record Label To Blake Shelton: ‘Shut Up!’

Blake Shelton has got the gift of gab, and his record label would like him to kindly shut up.

The country star has raised eyebrows for taking to Twitter to recount his drunken nights, and his music label, Warner Bros., is none too happy with his online behavior. Does he look drunk to you?

Shelton told The New York Times, “There was a point where Warner Bros. was (sic), like, ‘We’ve got to get Blake off Twitter, ’cause he can’t say these type of things.’”

A quick jump onto the singer’s Twitter page produced this:

But Shelton isn’t worried about upsetting his fan base – he hopes people will remember him for being true and pushing the envelope.

He adds, “I hope that people learn from me, it’s OK to be yourself. It’s OK to offend somebody, and, as a matter of fact, please be polarizing. If you’re not polarizing, you failed in my opinion. If you don’t stand for something, how can anyone respect what you do?”

Shelton apologized for his tweets after he was under pressure from critics and groups like GLAAD, but the tweets haven’t seemed to have caused him any distress.

His new album, “Red River Blue,” was just released on Tuesday.
