Alexis Wilkins made headlines recently when she opened up in a Fox News interview about her claim that music execs told her to remove the American Flag from her social media.
I was told to take an American Flag out of my Instagram bio, or that I had to support certain things or do certain things in order to get booked on tours, in order to get signed to a label, Wilkins told Fox News Digital. There are things that you ultimately have to give up, and I wasnt willing to bend the knee to that.

(10,778 posts)... makes no sense. Even more suspicious is that a "country music singer" is asked to take a US flag off their Instagram page. I could see music executives telling clients that a Russian flag might not be helpful... but an American flag... for a COUNTRY MUSIC SINGER? I think most "country music" singers would be advised to ADD a US flag to their profiles! Something is dishonest.

But, as someone else said, she's kind of long in the tooth for that crowd.
