Watch: Luke Bryan jokingly expresses concern over his mother's Instagram influence 

Luke Bryan's day job is to judge prospective singers on American Idol, but he used his time on late-night television to throw a tiny bit of playful shade at his mother, LeClaire Bryan.

LeClaire is flourishing on Instagram with 210,000 followers and counting. Jimmy Kimmel had to get her son's thoughts specifically on a video she had posted soaking in a jacuzzi with Bud Light cans bobbing around her, which she called "Momma Bryan's spa party" (2-minute mark):

"That's called her version of art direction," the 44-year-old country singer said. "It was day time (in that video), so she doesn't start drinking her beer until 7 p.m. CST. This is a real-life stat."

Bryan later noted: "I was on the 'Gram, and I looked down, and my mother had 209,000 Instagram followers, and I'm like, 'How in the hell did this happen?' And then I started worrying about the potential fallout, you know, because there's no telling what she's gonna wake up and do. The sad part is—I put a new beer out, and she's in a spa with Bud Light. I'm like, 'Momma, if you're gonna post, at least have your son's beer.'"

LeClaire also posted Luke's grade card from third grade last summer, and to Luke's point, most recently supported his Two Lane lager and seltzer:

Bryan released his seventh studio album Born Here, Live Here, Die Here last August, and the deluxe edition is expected Friday.

For more Bryan, you can watch American Idol every Sunday and Monday beginning at 8 p.m. EST on ABC.
