<p>Country singer Shane McAnally responded on Friday to a wave of backlash directed at him over a video he&#8217;d posted to Instagram. In the video, his five-month-old called out for &#8220;mama&#8221; — and he laughed as he informed the baby that he had two dads and no mama.</p>
<p>&#8220;We found it hilarious,&#8221; McAnally <a href="https://x.com/CollinRugg/status/2044911121916997764">said of the video</a>. &#8220;He&#8217;s five months old, he obviously doesn&#8217;t understand English.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Babies usually say dada first, but people wouldn&#8217;t then say the babies are only wanting their dads? It doesn&#8217;t really make sense,&#8221; he added.</p>
<p>The musician also complained that the whole thing had been taken &#8220;out of context,&#8221; saying that he was &#8220;appalled&#8221; by some of the comments he&#8217;d seen.</p>
<p>McAnally did not explain what &#8220;context&#8221; 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 &#8220;two dads.&#8221; The video, still pinned to McAnally&#8217;s Instagram page, is titled &#8220;6 week old homophobic baby.&#8221;</p>
<p>The country singer has been dabbling in stand-up comedy recently, but the &#8220;homophobic baby&#8221; got more backlash than laughs.</p>
<p>&#8220;He may say — oh it&#8217;s just a joke. But mothers don&#8217;t joke about their children this way. Frankly, no father I know does either. It&#8217;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,&#8221; Kira Davis <a href="https://x.com/Kiradavis/status/2045157915800285306">posted</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;This is not the first time Tony winning musician Shane McAnally has made a joke out of his son&#8217;s instinctive desire for his mother, rather than two fathers. Children deserve better than this,&#8221; Concerned Women for America added.</p>
<p>The Daily Wire&#8217;s Michael Knowles called it &#8220;the most horrifying video I&#8217;ve ever seen in my life.&#8221;</p>
