Mr Jagger took a verbal jab at Landry during a performance at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival on Thursday evening.
The band had finished You Can't Always Get What You Want when he began talking about inclusion, according to local news outlets.
"We want to include him, too," Jagger said of Landry.
"Even if he wants to take us back to the Stone Age." However, Jagger did not mention any specific policies.
But, Mr Landry has now hit back at the rockstar on social media.
You can’t always get what you want.
