LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Oliver Anthony is known to have a private life. But as per sources, the overnight music sensation is yet to be married and has no history of prior engagements.

It seems like the 'Rich Men North of Richmond' vocalist is currently single and places a high value on his career over relationships, as no information is available about his dating life or relationship status.

Recently, he revealed the inspiration behind his chart-topping hit song 'Rich Men North of Richmond', and in an interview with The Free Press on Thursday, August 24, the blue-collar singing star said he hopes his song will make Americans realize that "the federal government is not going to save us."

The viral country song, released on YouTube less than two weeks ago, has soared to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart, making Anthony the first artist in history to achieve this feat.

What did Oliver Anthony say about the government?

Discussing the 'Rich Men North of Richmond' song, the country singer said he intended to convey to the public that relying on the government will not solve their problems, as per the Daily Mail.

"What I want out of this for the general public its for people to stop relying on someone 150 or 500 miles away from them to solve their problems for them," expressed Anthony.

He continued, "Like nobody in Washington, DC, no one in the federal government is coming to save us."

Oliver Anthony wants people to focus on local communities

Anthony emphasized the importance of forming relationships and bonds within local communities, saying, "The people who will save us are each other, local relationships."

The singer also mentioned the troubling trend of growing disconnection, even within families, stating, "Even families are torn apart," as per Daily Mail.

"I've seen this in my old household at times where you'll have a whole family under the same roof and instead of spending time with each other and caring about each there, every one of them is just sitting there looking at their own piece of technology, completely self-absorbed in that and not in each other," added the 'I Want to go Home' vocalist.

The Farmville, Virginia resident's self-penned song, 'Rich Men North of Richmond', which criticizes politicians, drew 17.5 million streams and 147,000 downloads in the last week, making waves in the country.
