À propos de cet audio
Toby Keith’s legacy is making headlines again, thanks in part to his son Stelen Covel, who jumped into the latest pop culture firestorm regarding the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel Live. After host Jimmy Kimmel made controversial remarks about the tragic death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, ABC pulled the show indefinitely—a move triggering an avalanche of celebrity responses. According to coverage in Parade and AOL, Stelen went public on Instagram Stories on September 19, making clear that while he is “not a fan of Kimmel’s,” he doesn’t believe the comedian should have been fired, noting, “He’s said much worse.” Stelen argued the real reason for the suspension was corporate caution around advertiser dollars, adding bluntly that “it was a business decision” from Disney leadership. He even speculated that Kimmel will quickly rebound, suggesting, “He will do a show on Netflix or Hulu or a podcast or some other slop and make the same money.” Stelen’s stance echoes his father’s penchant for speaking his mind and calling out what he sees as hypocrisy in the entertainment industry, much like Toby Keith himself did throughout his career, especially when politics and media collided.
Meanwhile, tributes to Toby Keith continue to pour in, most notably from John Foster, the “American Idol” season 23 runner-up, who visited Keith’s grave on September 19 while participating in a charity event for the Toby Keith Foundation in Norman, Oklahoma. Foster described the experience as an “absolute honor,” both for taking the stage in Keith’s memory and quietly reflecting at his resting place. The event underscored Keith’s deep impact beyond music—particularly his work to support children with cancer through his foundation. Foster, who notably honored Keith on Idol with a stirring rendition of “Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue,” reminded everyone that Toby Keith’s influence is still very much alive at the grassroots of country music.
On the entertainment front, Toby Keith remains front and center in pop culture, with a lookalike performance featured this week in Branson, Missouri’s Legends in Concert series. And for fans craving new music, Keith’s camp has teased on social media that his new single “Oklahoma Breakdown” is about to hit radio, keeping his catalog active and top of mind.
No major business moves or product launches have surfaced in the last 24 hours, but given how actively Keith’s family and supporters keep his legacy in the public conversation, his biographical story continues to evolve daily—punctuated by bold opinions, foundational charity work, and ongoing musical tributes.
