<p>Country singer Shane McAnally responded on Friday to a wave of backlash directed at him over a video he’d posted to Instagram. In the video, his five-month-old called out for “mama” — and he laughed as he informed the baby that he had two dads and no mama.</p>
<p>“We found it hilarious,” McAnally <a href="https://x.com/CollinRugg/status/2044911121916997764" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said of the video</a>. “He’s five months old, he obviously doesn’t understand English.”</p>
<p>“Babies usually say dada first, but people wouldn’t then say the babies are only wanting their dads? It doesn’t really make sense,” he added.</p>
<p>The musician also complained that the whole thing had been taken “out of context,” saying that he was “appalled” by some of the comments he’d seen.</p>
<p>McAnally did not explain what “context” he believed critics were missing, but a number of them pointed out the fact that it was not the first time McAnally had set the baby up as a social media punchline: a video posted in December of 2025 showed the same baby, all smiles as dad (off-camera) talked about his siblings and pets — and then suddenly appeared concerned at the mention of “two dads.” The video, still pinned to McAnally’s Instagram page, is titled “6 week old homophobic baby.”</p>
<p>The country singer has been dabbling in stand-up comedy recently, but the “homophobic baby” got more backlash than laughs.</p>
<p>“He may say — oh it’s just a joke. But mothers don’t joke about their children this way. Frankly, no father I know does either. It’s like making a joke about your kid dying and it shows a tragic absence of familial connection. This baby is a fetish for them. God help this child,” Kira Davis <a href="https://x.com/Kiradavis/status/2045157915800285306" target="_blank" rel="noopener">posted</a>.</p>
<p>“This is not the first time Tony winning musician Shane McAnally has made a joke out of his son’s instinctive desire for his mother, rather than two fathers. Children deserve better than this,” Concerned Women for America added.</p>
<p>The Daily Wire’s Michael Knowles called it “the most horrifying video I’ve ever seen in my life.”</p>
