Ted Nugent has been the talk of social media since he made controversial comments last week which led to a concert venue canceling his show. More recently, the musician added another tour date and claimed that the public can't cancel him.

Taking to his "Nightly Nuge" show, the musician revealed that his farewell tour is "selling out left and right," before adding more controversial comments.

He then shared his thoughts about his canceled Birmingham concert, saying, "I think there were six snakes - they were serpents - that protested...they actually canceled the concert in Birmingham." (via i-95 Rocks)

The musician later noted that he booked a new gig an hour later and he will earn more money in that show.

"I booked another gig for more money across the border in Mississippi. So when you mess with Uncle Ted, you lose," he said.

Speaking about his canceled concert, he considers it as an act of "the lunatic fringe" and later noted that he couldn't be canceled.
