Elle King called Chris Young an “a-hole” after he allegedly shouted at his girlfriend to “come and get your wife!”
While taping Blake Shelton and Carson Daly’s new show, “Barmageddon,” on USA Network, the two country singers competed in wild bar games, including “air cannon cornhole,” “keg curling” and “ax drunkenness.” .”
However, according to the witness, things became more difficult between Young, 37, and King, 33, when he started to wince and talk fast.
Young allegedly spoke to her fiance, Dan Tooker, who was watching from the audience, and told him, “Come get your wife!”
Chris Young was not happy about Elle King’s win, an eyewitness told Page Six.

The source – who was on the record in April 2022 – claimed, “I can’t hold my tongue about how country singer Chris Young treated Elle King. He talked to her because she’s a woman.
“I’m sure the internet will make it up to make him look less bad, but as soon as he started kicking the bar games and talking like people were doing, he couldn’t take it anymore. He was seeing red.
“She called him names and then even shouted over his head to the guy who was with him that he better ‘Come and get your wife’ – what would he do? So stupid. All the staff saw and heard.”
That interaction was not included in the final broadcast, which aired last week.
However, when asked recently who was the most competitive person on the series, host Shelton told ET, “Chris Young,” as Daly added, “Chris Young was very competitive.”
Despite the incident remaining off the show, King addressed the sex allegations and explained why he called his latest album, “Come and Take Your Wife.”
When he saw that he was winning, Young allegedly shouted at his fiancée who was in the audience saying “come and get your wife!”

“The name of this record came about because some famous ass tried to scream ‘Come and get your wife’, and I looked like I wasn’t even married, just because I was kicking her in the game. I was like, ‘Ha ha wouldn’t it be fun if I called my record so?’ So I did,” he wrote via Instagram on Monday.
He also added in a separate Instagram post, “Remember that one time I was hole-shooting in a game and he yelled, “Come get your wife!” to my partner!?!? And I’m not even married! Lol. Thanks for the album title, babe 😉 .”
