    Why the fuck would he knowingly sing something he would know would cost him his reputation?

    Answer: he knows the song is racist and agrees with the message.

      Because he’s going to gain a large following amount the core base of die hard modern country music listeners. The people who are (rightfully) upset about it weren’t listening to him anyway.

          This isn’t really a new thing. Take the Dixie Chicks for example.

          Not that I disagree with the second part, at all.
