Toby Keith and Kris Kristofferson Deny Rumors About Feuding

Toby Keith and Kris Kristofferson are responding to a recent article in Rolling Stone this week from Ethan Hawke. The article says that an unnamed artist (which he hinted was Keith) and Kristofferson had an argument at Willie Nelson's birthday bash. Allegedly, the unnamed artist told Kristofferson not to perform any "lefty" music, to which Kristofferson said the other artist didn't know what he was taking about because he had never served his country.
Both Keith and Krisofferson claim the story is fiction, according to AOL's The Boot.

"I'm deeply grateful and was profoundly moved by Ethan Hawke's generous and respectful story about me," Kristofferson wrote to Rolling Stone. "I have to say, though, I have no memory of talking so tough to anyone at Willie's birthday party -- least of all to Toby Keith, (if that's who the nameless star is), for whom I have nothing but admiration and respect."

Keith, appearing nameless in the story, told CMT, "Kris and I are good friends. I don't have to defend myself on this. This is 100 percent fiction. I'd bet a million dollars on a lie detector test that this didn't happen ... So whoever he's talking about that he left nameless, there was a reason he left them nameless. He [Hawke] was insinuating me, which means he left it nameless because he doesn't want to deal with that."
Rolling Stone said it stands behind its reporting and fact checking.

That's not the end of it. Keith also lashed out at Tennessean reporter Peter Cooper for insinuating that Keith was involved in the incident. Read about it.
