Racial slurs will not be tolerated.

And Country star Morgan Wallen is learning the hard way.

As reported, the chart-topper – who had been on an unprecedented career ascend of late – found himself at the center of a storm after a video showing him using the N-Word surfaced.

In the shocking clip, a seemingly intoxicated Wallen makes racial epithets at his drunken friend after returning from a night on the town in Nashville.

This included referring to said friend as a ‘p*ssy a** m*therf*cker’ and ‘p*ssy a** n*****.’

Despite issuing an apology, radio stations and streaming services moved quickly in removing his music from their platforms.

And now his record label is following suit.

Although the promo train for Jazmine Sullivan‘s latest EP, ‘Heaux Tales,’ has already pulled into radio stations across America and even seen some of its content displayed on the Soul Train Awards, late nite TV, and more over the last few months, it shows no signs of slowing.

Undoubtedly, her fans aren’t complaining as the January 8-released ‘Tales’ came as the highly praised R&B diva’s first body of work since 2015.

Making up for lost time, Sullivan was most recently spotted turning heads and dropping jaws with a nearly 30 minute virtual concert as part of  HBO Max’s third annual ‘Our Stories to Tell’ series at the 2021 Sundance Film Festival (January 29-31).

Kicking off the three-day event – which is designed to reaffirm the streaming channel’s commitment to multicultural storytelling and creators – Jazzy delivered a stunning set that included previous hits ‘Bust Your Windows’ and ‘Lions, Tigers, and Bears’ as well as new ‘Heaux Tales’ cut ‘Girl Like Me’ and more.

Welcoming newcomers Liza Morales, Nia Dorsey, and Noria Dorsey to the madness, look inside to see what you can expect from the series’ 9th swing at back – which will also see the cast tackle heavier topics like police brutality, systemic racism, and the Black Lives Matter movement.

She may already boast multiple GRAMMYs, top 10 R&B chart hits, and even a Platinum EP to her credit, but that hasn’t stopped fan hunger for H.E.R.‘s official debut studio album (due later this year).  Evidence of this has come via the critical and commercial response to the set’s single, ‘Damage.’

Released October 2020, the lauded song got the ultimate launchpad as its premiere was supported by a performance on ‘SNL’ the same week (click here to watch).

A slow, yet steady climber on the Hot 100 in the time since, this week saw ‘Damage’ distribute just that on the tally.
