American musician and former Hootie & the Blowfish lead singer Darius Rucker took to Twitter Sunday night to respond to a racist comment made by a person identified as @pqkullman.

Rucker performed at country music sanctuary, the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, over the weekend. And as homage to one of the greats, he performed an unfinished Bob Dylan tune, "Wagon Wheel".

But one music lover was not a fan Rucker's tune, "@dariusrucker Leave country to the white folk."

Rucker, born and raised in Charleston, South Carolina, was not afraid to respond from his Twitter account by saying, "WOW...is this 2013 or 1913?"

And later added, "Ill take my grand ole Opry membership and leave your racism. Wow."

Rucker has been receiving mostly positive feedback from his Twitter followers as they joined in the conversation.

Chris Denari, the voice of NBA's Indiana Pacers and radio personality of WNBA's Indiana Fever, chimed in, "Those idiots make me sick. Glad you call them out."

Another user said, "@dariusrucker @pqkullman uhm. Charlie Pride one of the greatest country singers of all time was a great black man. #ignorant"

Since the incident, a new user, known as "Taken Over", has adopted the @pqkullman account stating in his/her profile: "This previously racist profile has been re-registered to promote good things & not hatred. I am not the original one who made the racist comment to Dairus Rucker [sic]."

Darius Rucker founded Hootie & the Blowfish in 1986 at the University of South Carolina, along with Jim Sonefield and Mark Bryan.

In 2008 Rucker signed to Capitol Records Nashville as a solo country music artist and its first single, "Don't Think I Don't Think About It", gave him the title of the first African American to chart a number one song on the Hot Country Songs charts since Charles Pride.
