Oliver Anthony, the country music artist who went viral after his working-class lament “Rich Men North of Richmond” sailed to the top of the charts, said he has rejected $8 million offers from music industry executives and that he’s just a regular guy who doesn’t want to be in the spotlight.
Mr. Anthony, who has four songs in the top ten on iTunes charts, including “Rich Men North of Richmond” still at number one, took to Facebook on Thursday to post a deeply personal and revealing message about his own struggles, while decrying the social division gripping America.
