Actor and comedian Rob Schneider told country music star Garth Brooks this week that he should �just shut up� after finding himself embroiled in controversy after indicating that he will offer Bud Light at his bar when it opens later this summer.

During Brooks� recent appearance on Billboard�s Country Live in Conversation, he appeared to take a shot at other country music artists who own bars, but are refusing to sell Bud Light over its decision earlier this year to have a paid marketing engagement with a controversial transgender influencer.

�Yes, we�re going to serve every brand of beer,� the singer said. �We just are. It�s not our decision to make. If you come into this house, love one another. If you�re an a**hole, there are plenty of other places on lower Broadway.�

�In my existence, one a**hole can turn the whole tide down there,� he added. �My thing is, let�s create a place that you feel safe in.�

Brooks later doubled down on his remarks, saying that inclusivity and diversity are what describes him.

�I get it, everyone�s got their opinions,� Brooks said. �But inclusiveness is always going to be me. I think diversity is the answer to the problems that are here. And the answer to the problems that are coming.�

Schneider told Fox Nation�s �Woke Up in America� that he thinks Brooks needs to be quiet and stay out of the drama in the future.

�I think next time, he�s going to stay out of it, isn�t he? I think Garth Brooks, next time, is going to shut his mouth, and he�s going to pretend like �I don�t have anything to do with what beer is chosen in my restaurant,�� Schneider said. �I think the culture is in a very weird little place of hypersensitivity one way or the other. And I think that�s why most people
shut their mouths.�

Schneider said that it is a good business practice for famous people like Brooks not to get too involved with business operations so that they don�t have to take heat if a situation blows up like this.

�I mean, just from a business standpoint, just shut up, say I have nothing to do with it,� he said.
