00:00 Is Lainey Wilson's accent fake?

00:01 The country star sets the record straight.

00:03 Here has been a long heated debate among country music fans

00:06 as to whether Lainey Wilson's distinct accent is authentic.

00:10 Some states completely fabricated,

00:12 others think it's exaggerated,

00:13 but what's the real story

00:15 and why would Lainey want to fake her accent anyway?

00:17 Lainey's accent is definitely unique.

00:19 It sounds country or Southern,

00:21 but doesn't exactly fit the mold

00:22 for a classic small town Southern accent.

00:25 However, there is a reasonable explanation

00:27 as to why Lainey sounds the way she does.

00:29 Lainey is from a small town

00:30 in Northern Louisiana called Baskin.

00:32 Anyone who's ever visited the town

00:34 or who's from there knows that just about everyone in Baskin

00:36 sounds very similar to Lainey.

00:38 Though she doesn't live in Baskin anymore,

00:40 she keeps in regular contact

00:41 with her family and friends there,

00:43 which explains why her accent hasn't changed.

00:45 In a 2022 interview with the Associated Press,

00:48 Lainey discussed the rumors.

00:49 She said, "I've had a lot of folks,

00:51 not necessarily in the industry, but just in general,

00:54 comment on social media and stuff

00:56 and say there's no way that she really talks like that."

00:58 Well, let me just dial up my mama and my daddy

01:01 and my granny and everybody else

01:02 and let you have a conversation with them.

01:04 Then you'll realize that what you see is what you get.

01:06 The way that I talk is the way that I sing,

01:08 like it or lump it.

01:09 The haters can say anything to me.

01:11 They can say, "You're ugly, you can't sing."

01:14 But when they start talking about my accent,

01:16 oh, it makes me mad

01:17 because then I start thinking

01:18 that you're talking about my family.

01:20 During a recent appearance on the Bobby Bones Show,

01:22 she discussed her feelings toward the matter again.

01:24 That's why I don't look at the comments anymore

01:26 'cause when they start talking about my accent,

01:28 I start feeling like they're talking about my family

01:31 and I'm ready to fight, she said.

01:32 "I love her accent.

01:33 She is so real and ignore them, Lainey.

01:36 I have a strong Southern accent.

01:38 Also, I think people are jealous,"

01:40 fans wrote in support of Lainey.

01:41 Wilson also said on the podcast

01:43 that it'd be hard to keep up with a fake accent all the time

01:46 and she hopes that in 30 years

01:47 when her accent sounds the same,

01:49 people will stop asking her whether it's real or not.

01:51 According to Yahoo, Lainey is from Baskin, Louisiana,

01:54 where everyone supposedly has the exact same twang

01:57 as she does.

01:58 Yes, some may note that Wilson

01:59 is not a regular in Baskin anymore.

02:01 At the same time, she still speaks to her family

02:04 and friends there on a regular basis.

02:05 She actually talked about the rumors

02:07 that she was exaggerating her accent back in 2022.

02:10 Lainey told the Associated Press this,

02:12 "I have had a lot of folks, not necessarily in the industry,

02:15 but just in general, comment on social media and stuff

02:18 and say there's no way that she really talks like that.

02:20 Well, let me just dial up my mama and my daddy

02:23 and my granny and everybody else

02:24 and let you have a conversation with them.

02:26 Then you'll realize that what you see is what you get.

02:28 The way that I talk is the way that I sing,

02:30 like it or lump it.

02:31 The haters can say anything to me.

02:33 They can say, 'You're ugly, you can't sing.'

02:35 But when they start talking about my accent,

02:37 oh, it makes me mad because then I start thinking

02:40 that you're talking about my family."

02:41 After talking about it once and setting everyone straight,

02:44 one would think the gossip would have stopped.

02:46 Sadly, people are still thinking

02:48 that Lainey Wilson's accent is not real.

02:50 She spoke out on the Bobby Bones show a short while ago

02:53 and noted she has to not look at what people say.

02:55 When she does that, it makes her want to throw down

02:58 as she feels like people are talking about her family

03:00 and that is not cool.

03:01 Fortunately, fans have sent their love and support to her

03:04 so that is all that matters.
