Earlier in the week, someone tweeted that he should leave country music to white people. He tells Rolling Stone, "I was absolutely shocked... When somebody says to leave country music to the white folks, that is unbelievable to me... But that's life. That's something that I'm going to have to deal with the rest of my career, because I'm a black guy in country music and there are people who don't like that. But it's not going to make me quit." Darius just scored a number-one song with "Wagon Wheel," which Bob Dylan co-wrote and made an old demo of. He says Bob gave a thumbs up to his version.
