John Rich is the latest country star to appear on the NBC hit TV show, 'Celebrity Apprentice.' He was preceded by both Clint Black and Trace Adkins, who became a runner-up before losing to journalist and TV personality Piers Morgan in 2008. But while the singer-songwriter hopes to be the first Nashville star to win the grand prize, he is also fiercely defending one of his predecessors.
Apparently, the show's creator and host, business mogul Donald Trump, was unaware of Trace's lengthy -- and legendary -- music career before he appeared on 'Apprentice,' and tried to claim ownership of most of Trace's success.
"I said, 'Well, actually he was multi-platinum before he came on your show," John recalls (quote via New Mexico radio station KGRT). "He goes, 'No, no. Trace Adkins, he was basically no one.'"
