10 Celebrities Who ‘Earned All This Money’ But You Can Never Take The Country Out ‘Em

Hey y’all! Yes, I said y’all. Blame it on my Texas upbringing. “You all” sounds too much like “U-Haul” and I’m not attempting to relocate any time soon, unless you have suggestions for a reasonably-priced bachelor pad in La La Land or The Big Apple? Right, I won’t hold my breath. From a bong-toting country music legend to the Queen of All Media, below is a list of celebrities with southern roots who simply didn’t give a f**k. You probably heard them let “y’all” slip during an acceptance speech or a live TV interview (#WhoGonCheckMeBoo). Despite their country grammar, sometimes questionable behavior and IDGAF bad-ass attitudes, y’all still love and adore them.

10. Willie Nelson

Willie's Reserve

Nelson (Texas) is quite vocal about his love for reefer, so it was no surprise when he was charged with possession of marijuana after six ounces were discovered aboard his tour bus in his home state. #WeedWithWillie

9. Reese Witherspoon

City of Atlanta Department of Corrections

Witherspoon (Louisiana) is recognized as one of America’s sweethearts, but her 2013 arrest video showed the actress in a dark light filled with American pride, Oscar-worthy sass, and a fake pregnancy. #CruelIntentions

8. Channing Tatum

Warner Bros. Pictures

Tatum (Alabama) started stripping at age 19 after dropping out of the University of South Florida. Constant partying, heavy drinking, and living a wild lifestyle in general soon followed. On the bright side, the exotic dancer-turned-husband (and father of one) nailed his performance as Michael in Magic Mike. #TakeItOff

7. Matthew McConaughey

Austin Police Department

McConaughey (Texas) was arrested after a neighbor called to complain about music blaring from his Austin home. Police arrived and found him naked playing very loudly on bongo drums. #AlrightAlrightAlright

6. Kanye West

New York Daily News

West (Georgia) is no stranger to controversy. During a concert for Hurricane Katrina victims, West infamously said what was on many New Orleans residents' minds: “George Bush does not care about Black people.”

Even funnyman Mike Myers was left speechless. #Yikes

5. Beyoncé

Beyoncé's official website

Beyoncé (Texas) did not take home Album of the Year at the 2017 Grammy Awards (cough, cough), even though she won the popular vote. Adele, who won due to the Electoral College-ish voting process (cough, cough), praised Beyoncé during her acceptance speech. Adele asked in a follow-up interview, “What the f**k does she [Beyoncé] have to do to win Album of the Year?”

Well, Beyoncé shared this photo on her website the next day. #SheGetItFromHerMama

4. Britney Spears

New York Daily News

Spears (Louisiana) survived 2007. #ThatIsAll

3. Solange

Saint Records/Columbia Records

Solange (Texas) recorded the unapologetically Black album, A Seat at the Table, after a white male journalist told her ‘don’t bite the hand that feeds you'. #YouGoGirl

2. Annie Nicole Smith

Since snitches get stitches, I'd like to say that Smith (Texas) really loved 90-year-old oil tycoon J. Howard Marshall and did not care about his billion-dollar fortune. #DoYouLikeMyBody

1. Oprah Winfrey

Oprah Winfrey Network

Oprah (Mississippi) kicked off her 19th season by giving all 276 members of the studio audience a free car. Nothing else on this list screams IDGAF like, "You get a car! You get a car! You get a car! Everybody gets a car!" #Boss
