As a country superstar, Kane Brown gets plenty of free stuff from all sorts of companies — and since it’s no secret that he’s a passionate gamer, that includes gaming companies.
But Kane also grew up in a family that didn’t have much money, and back then, he had to scrimp and save for every piece of gaming equipment he got. The irony that he gets free stuff now — even though he can afford to pay for it — isn’t lost on him, the singer tells Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1.
“I had a game system that broke [when] I was 15, 16. Took me forever to get a new one,” Kane recounts. “I used to wrap it in a towel to make it overheat and then I got to play it, right?”
But these days, he’s got no shortage of flashing gaming equipment showing up in his mailbox.
“Now that I do have a little bit of money, they just send them to me with my face on them,” Kane continues. “And I’m like, ‘You don’t have to send it to me — I can buy this.’ And that’s what irritated me is, I couldn’t buy this at this time, and I had to work my butt off to get it and now you’re just sending it to me.”
So, which game does he opt for when he sits down to unwind with some video games?
“I think I’m addicted to [Call of Duty] because I’m good at it. I don’t brag on myself,” Kane jokes.
