Ella Langley is seemingly clapping back after a fan claimed Riley Green took credit for her rise to stardom.
Green, 37, first raised eyebrows last month when he told The Voice contestants and sisters Ferryn and Brinkley Wright that he “had some success with duets” before name-dropping Langley, 27.
“There was a girl that reminded me a lot of y’all,” he explained during a September episode of the show while trying to lure the duo to his team. “I took her on tour with me. Her name’s Ella Langley. She’s doing pretty well.”
While some fans didn’t think anything of Green’s comments — with a few pointing out his dry humor was simply misinterpreted — others claimed he was giving himself a pat on the back for her success after the former tourmates worked together on 2024’s “You Look Like You Love Me” and 2025’s “Don’t Mind If I Do.”
During a recent Instagram Live, Langley seemingly reacted to Green’s alleged jab after a fan asked her, “When Riley took credit for your success on The Voice, did that rub you the wrong way?!”
The “Choosin’ Texas” singer didn’t immediately respond to the question, but she appeared to be reading the comments in real time as she got her makeup done.
Eventually, Langley responded, “Yeah, when that man took credit, no, didn’t love that. But typical.”
Although she didn’t explicitly mention Green, many fans took the remark as a response to the country singer.
Us has reached out to reps for Green and Langley for comment.
The exchange comes after eagle-eyed fans recently noticed that Langley no longer follows Green on Instagram. Green, however, still follows his former collaborator as of Monday, October 12.
This isn’t the first time Green and Langley’s dynamic has made headlines. After working together on their first duet in 2024, fans shipped the musicians as a romantic couple, but they both denied being anything more than friends.
“Riley was probably the first famous person I ever met,” Langley explained during a September 2024 interview with Taste of Country at the People’s Choice Country Awards. “He was playing all the same bars I went to, and I played the same bars as him. It’s cool to see Alabama people winning.”
She insisted, “We’re not dating. We’re just good friends.”
Green also addressed the relationship speculation during a December 2024 appearance on the “Viall Files” podcast, admitting, “Ella’s probably too smart to date me anyway.”
“When we first started having the success we did with that song, I kinda told Ella, I was like, ‘There’s gonna be a lot of things said, but I mean, you don’t really have to play into it or not play into it, it’s gonna be something people enjoy the same way we do when we go listen to those songs,’” he recalled.
The following month, rumors surfaced that Green was seeing country singer Megan Moroney after they posted similar vacation photos at the same time.
Neither Green nor Moroney, 29, commented on the speculation, but some fans were convinced there was a love triangle going on.
“I’m not dating right now at all. I’m too busy,” Moroney said in November 2025, shutting down the rumors.
While Green was spotted at the 2025 CMA Awards that same month with Bryana Ferringer, he claimed they were just friends.
Langley, for her part, is seeing country crooner Tucker Wetmore. Us confirmed last month that the pair have been “quietly dating for more than six months but less than a year.”
