Dave Portnoy escalated his feud with “lying Zach Bryan” after the country singer's messy breakup with Barstool podcast host Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia.

Portnoy released a five-minute dissident track Wednesday with Barstool personality Josh Richards — in which he calls Bryan “ugly” and “b-ch” and accuses him of cheating — titled “Smallest Man,” the nickname Portnoy gives Bryan At that time, the singer made her separation public.

The Barstool founder and Richards host the “BFFs” podcast with Chickenfry and have previously supported her when she said she was “blindsided” by her split from Bryan.

The song opens with Richards rapping about Bryan apparently using dating apps right after his breakup with Chickenfry – before Portnoy, 47, jumps in with a scathing verse that attacks Bryan's looks.

“I said trust me, your pants caught fire / Tinder, Bumble, Raya knew you were a liar. “You're a publicity bag, you just made yourself a new rival / Pretty soon you're gonna need a revival,” Richards begins, referencing, among other things, Bryan's song “Revival.”

“You screwed up. / It's about to get bloody / Post it on your Instagram story / You say you remember everything but I don't think so 'cause you forgot your wedding ring.”

Bryan confirmed his split from Chickenfry after dating for a year in a message on his Instagram Story last month. The country singer was previously married to Rose Madden from 2020-21.

Chickenfry responded that she was surprised by Bryan's message and claimed that the couple had agreed to keep their split a secret.

In the video, Portnoy, 47, and Richards, 22, are dressed as police officers with fake mustaches – and run over a man resembling Bryan, 28, who is driving a pickup truck.

Richards continues rapping, “It’s disgusting,” how Bryan did Chickenfry wrong.

Then comes Portnoy, who wasted no time before name-dropping Taylor Swift.

“Itty bitty Zach, s-ty s-ty tats / Ugly in the face, there’s no cure for it,” Portnoy began. “Country singing boss, baby, give the boy a snack / Throw another tantrum, it's time for a nap / Think you're on some s-tryna diss Taylor Swift, done Hundred Gram Stories.” and apologize like b-h.”

That was a reference to what Bryan said in a post last month

“From the looks of all your tweets, I would say you have a drinking problem,” Portnoy continued, adding that Bryan's “head looks like a Lego brick” and he has hair like Homer Simpson.

“Consider this a warning to the next girl who goes out with you,” Portnoy sings, before Richards says, “We know for a fact your whole band hates you.”

The video ends with a snippet of Bryan's song “28,” which is about his relationship with Chickenfry, but Portnoy and Richards changed the original lyrics.

“How lucky Bri is to be free of ZB,” they sing.

Portnoy told X that the video was removed from YouTube due to copyright issues.

“Zach Bryan and @warnermusic must have the worst crisis management managers in the world,” he wrote. “They are running around like chickens with their heads cut off trying to delete #smallestman from the internet. Didn’t anyone tell them I ran an internet company? They just guaranteed this thing would go to No. 1.”

Chickenfry claimed Bryan blocked her, Portnoy and Richards on social media after the dissident track was released on Wednesday.

The music video continues to be posted on the BFFs and Barstool social media accounts on X and Instagram.

Bryan has not yet publicly commented on the video.
