Country star Kane Brown is being praised for his heartwarming interaction with a young fan who told the musician he was being bullied.
The 30-year-old Be Like That hitmaker stopped his concert in Denver, Colorado, on September 6 to hug a young boy who was being bullied because of “the color of his skin.”
The boy, whose name was Keylan, showed up to Kane’s concert wearing a cowboy hat and country ensemble, carrying a heartbreaking sign that read, “Bullyed because of the color of my skin. I just want a hug from Kane.”
The emotional poster of Keylan caught the attention of the music sensation as he sang his hit Good As You, who left the stage and gave his fans a hug.
Kane, who had previously revealed that he was bullied as a child, walked over to the crowd and started a few songs as he approached the young man, before talking about what the “fun” moment meant to him.

In the past, Kane has spoken openly about his experiences as a poor kid and how being bullied for his lack of money affected him (seen in 2023 with wife Katelyn)
After the concert, the country icon shared a number of snaps with the young man on Instagram and praised the “amazing” night.
He said, ‘Be yourself, don’t worry about others, but try to be kind. Treat others the way you want to be treated. Tonight was great Colorado, but this touched my heart.’
In the comments below the post, Keylan’s mother Amanda let her fans and the star know how much her son appreciated the gesture.
She wrote: I’m crying! This is my son and a very true story. Thank you for a great show and an amazing experience Keylan will never forget. His first concert and he met his hero. Thank you Kane for all you do, these kids have a good man, father and husband to look up to.
In the past, Kane has spoken candidly about his experiences as a poor man and how he was bullied for his lack of money.
He told Entertainment tonight: ‘I grew up a little bit differently. I was bullied in school so that was hard and I grew up with barely any money and I feel like there’s a lot of scenes in there where you can really see how I was raised so I can’t wait to see the final product of this music video.
‘We had no place to stay and sometimes spent up to two weeks in a car.
‘I grew up with nothing and I’m glad that I can now take care of myself and support my mother and grandmother when they need anything.’
