WASHINGTON (AP) — Toby Keith acknowledges that he's the type to hold a grudge.

The 47-year-old country singer says certain things can be forgiven, but if someone tells a lie about him, then he's got a problem.

Keith has been in a number of public feuds over the years, including spats with Dixie Chicks singer Natalie Maines and actor Ethan Hawke.

Keith says he deals with "haters" every day and usually doesn't listen to them twice. But he makes no apologies for being outspoken — especially when it comes to the military.

He's on his eighth USO tour, performing 17 shows in 11 days for U.S. troops in Afghanistan.
