Country star Kane Brown is being praised for his heartwarming interaction with a young fan who revealed to the musician that he was bullied.
The 30-year-old Be Like That hitmaker stopped his Denver, Colorado concert on September 6 to give a young boy who was being bullied for ‘the color of his skin’ a hug.
The boy, who was named Keylan, came to Kane’s concert donning a cowboy hat and country ensemble as well as a heartbreaking sign that read, ‘Bullied for the color of my skin. I just want a hug from Kane.’
Keylan’s tear-jerking poster caught the attention of the music sensation as he performed his hit Good As You, prompting him to exit the stage and give his fan a hug.
Kane – who has previously revealed he was bullied as a child – made his way to the audience while busting out a few tunes as he approached the youngster before then sharing what the ‘sweet’ moment meant to him.

Following the concert, the country icon took to his Instagram to share some snaps with the youngster and gushed about the ‘amazing’ night.

In the comments section of the post, Keylan’s mom Amanda chimed in to let 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 an amazing show and an amazing experience that Keylan will never forget. His first concert and he met his hero. Thank you Kane for all that you do, these kids have a good man, father, and husband to look up to.’
In the past, Kane has opened up about his experience growing up poor and how being bullied because of his lack of money affected him.
He told Entertainment Tonight: ‘I grew up a little different. I was bullied at school, so that was hard and I grew up with hardly any money and I feel like there’s a lot of scenes in here where you can actually really see how I was raised, so I can’t wait to see the finished product of this music video.
‘We didn’t have anywhere to stay and we stayed in a car for, like, two weeks at a time.
‘I grew up with nothing and I’m just glad that I can support myself now, and support my mom and my nana if they need anything.’
