Singer Orville Peck Reveals He ‘Made Out’ With NFL Player: ‘He Was Very, Very Honored’

Peck says he got permission for the lyric and declines to confirm Nassib as the unnamed Raiders player.

  • On Friday, country music star Orville Peck released his fourth studio album, "Mule," featuring the song "Ring the Bell" with lyrics about making out with a Las Vegas Raiders player.
  • Speculation quickly linked the lyric to Carl Nassib, the first active NFL player to publicly come out as gay in 2021, though Peck declines to confirm or deny if Nassib is the subject.
  • Peck stated he received permission from the subject, who was "very thrilled" to be included, though he prefers to "keep it sort of ambiguous and mysterious" rather than reveal the athlete's identity.
  • The 12-track album "Mule" chronicles Peck's journey through addiction and sobriety, serving as an apology and thank-you to those who supported his recovery from substance abuse.
  • Now sober, Peck is currently headlining at the Hollywood Bowl, noting that performing serves as therapy allowing him to connect with listeners who relate to his experiences.
