Lil Nas X's viral country-rap hit "Old Town Road" was disqualified from Billboard's country chart last month for not being quite Nashville enough. But now the rapper might have another shot at having an official country hit, thanks to Billy Ray Cyrus.

The "Achy Breaky Heart" singer has joined Lil Nas X on an official "Old Town Road" remix, which was released Friday.

"Old Town Road" — which features a mix of stringed instruments and a trap beat, plus lyrics filled with cowboy imagery — debuted at No. 19 on Billboard's Hot Country chart for the week of March 16. In a story first reported by Rolling Stone, Billboard removed the song from the country chart.

"Upon further review, it was determined that 'Old Town Road' by Lil Nas X does not currently merit inclusion on Billboard's country charts," Billboard said in a statement. "When determining genres, a few factors are examined, but first and foremost is musical composition. While 'Old Town Road' incorporates references to country and cowboy imagery, it does not embrace enough elements of today's country music to chart in its current version."

Since Billboard's decision, Cyrus has been vocally supportive of Lil Nas X and "Old Town Road." On Wednesday, he tagged the rapper on Twitter, telling him, "When I got thrown off the charts, Waylon Jennings said to me, 'Take this as a compliment.' (It) means you’re doing something great! Only Outlaws are outlawed. Welcome to the club!"
