Overview

• Combs recounted the gift on the Aug. 18 episode of Dax Shepard’s Armchair Expert, saying he learned of it when his manager arrived with the keys last Christmas.
• Brooks arranged the present after Combs performed “The Beaches of Cheyenne” at the 2022 Nashville Songwriter Awards held at the Ryman Auditorium.
• Combs said Brooks’ team asked his manager what he liked, then ordered a Bronco Raptor that was delayed roughly a year before delivery.
• The singer estimated the vehicle at about $90,000 and said he called Brooks afterward, who told him he wanted to repay the time Combs could have spent playing his own show.
• Brooks publicly praised Combs’ performance on X in 2022, and Combs added he does not know whether other tribute performers received similar gifts.
