Award-winning Country singer Morgan Wallen may have kicked off 2021 with the year’s biggest sales to date courtesy of his hotly-selling ‘Dangerous’ album, but thanks to a recently leaked video the 27-year-old has found himself going from Billboard 200’s #1 to public enemy #1.
More inside:
TMZ first reported video captured Sunday night (January 31) that depicts Wallen hurling racial epithets at his drunken friend after returning from a night on the town in Nashville (as seen above).
Apparently intoxicated himself, the Country hitmaker is heard jokingly referring to his buddy as a ‘p*ssy a** m*therf*cker’ and ‘p*ssy a** n*****.’ Within moments of its arrival to TMZ, the video garnered thousands of views across the Web and took Wallen’s name to trending heights on social media.
In response, he quickly issued a statement:
“I’m embarrassed and sorry. I used an unacceptable and inappropriate racial slur that I wish I could take back,” he said before continuing, “There are no excuses to use this type of language, ever.”
He finalized his address by saying:
“I want to sincerely apologize for using the word,” he added. “I promise to do better.”
*****
The apology may be too little, too late as Country stations across the United States have already begun shelving his music and removing it from their respective playlists.
Over 400 radio stations in America were directed to remove all of Wallen’s hits from their daily programming immediately and “without exception.”
It is likely the backlash will continue in the days to come.
I am so sick and tired of these dumbass white people always motherfuking apologize for saying the n-word first of all you know the word has history and it’s a why would you use a word like that you know better.
Tgj. Why are you reporting on this man? We don’t give an f about an apology. So is that supposed to make it all better? Csuse from the headline…. chille.
If you don’t like the word then don’t constantly use it then, simple. It can’t always be one rule for one and another rule for someone else. Did Nick cannon get cancelled when he was racist NO did Gucci Mane get cancelled when he was racist NO so why should Morgan Wallen?
Dumb a$$ lazy people.
Well said 💅🏿💅🏿💅🏿 I love the brand new fancy bish. She’s classy and educated unlike the old trashy bish 👩🏿🦱. Improved fancy bish is officially level up🤳🏿🤳🏿
Well, they should’ve canceled everyone, every races for saying the N words. Not just targeting white people💅🏿💅🏿💅🏿
Cancel his ass lol 🤳🏽Losers never win! 💯 #StayObsessedAndDepressed 🤣
Oh, Coco the CLOWN he has more money in the bank and happier for it than you ever will be in your life.
To that FRAUD…I have more FLAVOR and FAVOR, CLASS and TASTE than Morgan Whatshisface lol 🤳🏽💯 We’ll see how much money he has when he’s canceled 💋 And stop being mad at black people just because white privilege isn’t working out for you 🤣
He will still have much more than you ever would have.
Side note BBQ sauce is not flavour you FOOLISH CLOWN.
HA! Put some seasoning on your food and STFU fraud lol 😂
Why is it that black people can call each other the “N” word all the time jokingly but no one else can?
Why can people of color call white people and other races of people names seriously or jokingly and not get kicked off the radio? This is unbelievable!
Because of the s**** trade. Please read some basic history and learn about the power of language. When have poc caAlLeD wHiTe PeOpLe NaMeS and not been kicked off the radio? Name an actual situation.
