Brianna Chickenfry Blocked by Zach Bryan Before "Smallest Man" Diss Track Release
Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia, co-host of the popular Barstool Sports podcast BFFs , is making waves after revealing that her ex-boyfriend, country singer Zach Bryan, blocked her and her colleagues on Instagram. This block came right before the release of a diss track called “Smallest Man” on November 6, with speculation that the song directly targets Bryan. The song’s release has stirred up a lot of attention online, and fans of both LaPaglia and Bryan are following every twist of the breakup story.
The story began when Bryan, a rising star in country music, made a public Instagram post on October 22 announcing his split from LaPaglia after a year together. In the post, Bryan expressed his respect for LaPaglia but mentioned he was struggling with personal issues and felt they would both benefit from going separate ways. This public announcement reportedly blindsided LaPaglia, who expressed frustration over the breakup going public without prior notice. She shared her feelings in a YouTube video, saying she felt hurt and “discarded,” adding to the public’s interest in the relationship fallout.

After the breakup, LaPaglia and her BFFs co-hosts, Dave Portnoy and Josh Richards, decided to air their grievances more directly in the form of the diss track. In “Smallest Man,” Richards and Portnoy don police uniforms and fake mustaches as they rap about Bryan, addressing rumors and taking digs at his dating life, alleged dishonesty, and even poking fun at his tattoo choices. The track, which includes real audio from Bryan’s 2023 arrest, mocks the singer’s character, with lines about his presence on dating apps and past remarks about Taylor Swift, referencing some of his more controversial social media moments. The song’s lyrics, including phrases like “knew you was a liar,” hit hard on themes of mistrust and resentment toward Bryan.
The situation escalated when Portnoy openly criticized Bryan for allegedly appearing on a dating app shortly after the breakup, calling it a “crazy” move. Portnoy and Richards, in full support of LaPaglia, referenced Bryan's other actions that allegedly impacted LaPaglia emotionally, hinting that he may have acted immaturely throughout their relationship. This solidarity among the BFFs hosts has garnered attention, especially as LaPaglia takes a temporary break from podcasting to focus on her mental health following the breakup.
The track’s release was met with mixed reactions from fans, especially since Bryan’s record label, Warner Music Group, moved quickly to remove the music video from Instagram and YouTube, likely due to copyright concerns. Despite this, the song remains available on streaming platforms, and fans of both LaPaglia and Bryan are voicing strong opinions on social media. Some fans have praised LaPaglia for handling the breakup with humor and resilience, while others argue that the diss track may be too personal and might fuel ongoing drama.
LaPaglia and Bryan’s relationship initially gained public attention when they appeared together at the 2023 American Music Awards, but since the split, the narrative has shifted significantly. LaPaglia, who joined Barstool Sports in 2020, quickly became a fan favorite and her on-air partnership with Portnoy and Richards has only strengthened her following. As her supporters eagerly follow each update, LaPaglia’s story serves as a reminder of the challenges of dating in the public eye—and the unusual ways people, even celebrities, respond to heartbreak.
