In an unexpected twist, Kevin James brings his comedic talent to country music, starring in Nate Smith and HARDY's new video for "Nobody Likes Your Girlfriend." Social media personalities Sophia La Corte and Amanda Mertz join in on this surprising combination.

With Spidey Smith directing, the video pokes fun at that common situation - telling your friend the hard truth about their terrible girlfriend. The song was written by Jessie Jo Dillon, Michael Hardy, Ben Johnson, and Hunter Phelps.

"Having him join me on this song is truly humbling," Smith said in a press release about HARDY. "I can't wait to hear crowds singing it at the top of their lungs everywhere I go this year," he continued.

Coming off his 2024 ACM New Male Artist win, Smith's keeping busy on tour. His Through The Smoke World Tour will sweep through Canada before heading to Europe and the UK. The huge C2C Festival is coming up, where country music takes over across Europe.

Summer kicks off a new chapter as Smith joins Jason Aldean's Full Throttle Tour. This follows the success of his California Gold album, released last October to great reviews.

Meanwhile, HARDY announced the 2025 Jim Bob World Tour, releasing a new video for "Jim Bob." The pair's songwriting chemistry keeps creating hits.

Getting James for the video was easy - just one phone call made it happen. The comedy star's physical humor fits perfectly with the song's playful tone.

While Smith tours the world, his partner keeps pushing musical boundaries with "The Mockingbird & THE CROW," blending country and rock sounds.

Check their social media for tour dates and tickets. The single's available now on all streaming platforms.
