<p>Wallen previously told fans he had gotten &#8220;some bad news&#8221; from his doctors about &#8220;reinjuring&#8221; his vocal cords after returning the stage following 1o days of rest, resulting in &#8220;vocal fold trauma.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Their advice is that I go on vocal rest for six weeks, so that&#8217;s what I&#8217;m going to do,&#8221; Wallen said. &#8220;They want me not to talk at all, but they said that if I need to it&#8217;s OK for something like this.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;[The doctors] told me that if I do this the right way that I&#8217;ll get back to 100 percent,&#8221; he added. &#8220;They also said that if I don&#8217;t listen and I keep singing, then I’ll permanently damage my voice. So for the longevity of my career, this is just the choice I had to make. I hate it but I love you guys. And I appreciate all the support…I’ll see you soon, and I’ll be back better than ever.&#8221;</p>

‘I Hate It’: Morgan Wallen Reveals Terrible News To Fans About His Tour

Morgan Wallen Reveals Terrible News To Fans About His Tour

<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/morgan-wallen" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Morgan Wallen&#8217;s</a> record label has shut down speculation that the reason the country star canceled a recent concert in Mississippi was because he was &#8220;too drunk&#8221; to walk.</p>
<p>Big Loud Records and the security company BEST Crowd Management called the accusation &#8220;false&#8221; and &#8220;laughable&#8221; after a video surfaced on <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@thunderb4lightnin/video/7225506523114474794" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TikTok</a> of a security guard working at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium telling an attendee that the 29-year-old country singer was allegedly intoxicated and &#8220;couldn’t walk,&#8221; <a href="https://pagesix.com/2023/04/26/morgan-wallen-label-denies-claim-he-was-too-drunk-to-perform/?utm_source=curalate_like2buy&amp;utm_medium=P6_IG&amp;utm_content=curalate_like2buy_oY9UkwSj__9c781fb4-1660-45ad-a182-0da68f3af719&amp;utm_term=curalate_like2buy&amp;crl8_id=9c781fb4-1660-45ad-a182-0da68f3af719" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Page Six</a> reported.</p>
<p>He also said that the story about Wallen &#8220;losing his voice is bullcrap.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;A hired employee of BEST Crowd Management made false claims as it related to last night&#8217;s Morgan Wallen concert and we do not stand behind the detail in his statement,&#8221; the security company wrote on its Instagram Story Monday.</p>
<p>CEO and co-founder Seth England shared the message on his Instagram Story and wrote, &#8220;Thank you [bestcrowdmanagement] for correcting your employee, who made up an entire story that was nowhere close to true. Every detail was false.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Laughable what some people will just say for a reaction,&#8221; he added.</p>

Morgan Wallen’s Label Shuts Down Rumor He Canceled Concert Because He Was ‘Too Drunk’

Morgan Wallen’s Label Shuts Down Rumors He Canceled Concert Because He Was ‘Too Drunk’

Music

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/morgan-wallen">Morgan Wallen</a> set off a firestorm on social media after abruptly canceling his <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/mississippi">Mississippi</a> concert minutes before he was supposed to take the stage.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/country-music">country star</a> was scheduled to perform Sunday night at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium as part of his “One Night at a Time World Tour.” The musician played the same venue Saturday night along with opening acts Hardy, Ernest, and Bailey Zimmerman. But then, right before he was scheduled to begin his portion of the show Sunday night, Wallen announced that he was unable to perform.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Fans who had sat through the opening acts saw a message posted on video screens in the stadium saying the show was canceled because Wallen had “lost his voice.” The message instructed them to make their way safely to the exits and assured them they’d be issued a refund for the event at the point of purchase.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Concertgoers headed to social media to express their disappointment.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Drive 10 hours for a concert, Morgan cancels… at least we saw Hardy!

Morgan Wallen Cancels Concert Minutes Before Showtime, Fans React With Fury Online

Mississippi

Social Media

<p>Country star <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/morgan-wallen" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Morgan Wallen</a> surprised a dad singing one of his songs while going through a crowded TSA pre-check line at the airport in Nashville, Tennessee.</p>
<p>The 29-year-old country singer had most likely planned to sneak right through the airport without anyone noticing him given he was wearing a hat and a hoodie, <a href="https://www.whiskeyriff.com/2023/03/15/dad-humming-chasing-you-in-nashville-airport-is-surprised-hear-morgan-wallen-singing-along-with-him/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WhiskeyRiff.com</a> reported.</p>
<p>However, those plans changed when he came upon a dad — John Jones, father of former University of Tennessee lineman Jack Jones — who was singing Morgan&#8217;s &#8220;Chasin&#8217; You&#8221; song from his debut album.</p>
<p>Wallen heard the tune and decided to join in, appearing right next to the surprised dad and singing his song while the two were trying to get through security.</p>
<p>Jones&#8217; daughter was even able to grab a quick selfie with Wallen, who was all smiles in his incognito look. Her brother later posted the picture on Twitter.</p>

<p>The country star&#8217;s career continues to soar after it seemed like it was over when he was caught on video using the N-word after a drunken night in January 2021.

<p>One of the people involved in the scuffle was kicked out by security, the outlet noted. It is unclear what started the altercation, but after the person left, the concert reportedly went on without any more problems.</p>
<p>The country star continues to break records after it seemed his career was quite possibly over when he was caught on <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2021/02/02/morgan-wallen-n-word-nashville-neighbors/">video</a> using the N-word after a drunken night in January 2021.

<p>The singer apologized and said he was both &#8220;embarrassed and sorry.&#8221;</p>

‘Kick This Stupid Motherf***er Outta Here’: Country Star Morgan Wallen Stops Concert After Seeing Fight In Crowd

Country Star Morgan Wallen Stops Concert After Seeing Fight In Crowd

Fight

<p>On Monday night at the at Academy of Country Music Awards, Morgan Wallen, who fought through the attempts to cancel him after a video had surfaced showing him using the N-word, won the Album of the Year award for “Dangerous: The Double Album.”</p>
<p>As he accepted the award, Wallen stated:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>I wrote some stuff down, When I started this album, I was a kid. By the time I put it out, I was a father. And that&#8217;s become more important to me than anything else. To my son, this album and this award will signify that his daddy was a fighter and he chased his dreams and worked hard to make them a reality.</em></p>
<p><em>I want to say a special thank you to all the songwriters, producers, and musicians that played on this album. I wish you were standing next to me now; this project would not be complete without each other. I’d also like to thank my good Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, my family, my close friends, my band, my team in Nashville, country radio and everyone who has shown me grace along the way. But most importantly, I have to address my fans personally and directly: Thank you, thank you, thank you!</em></p></blockquote>
<p>In February 2021, TMZ <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2021/02/02/morgan-wallen-n-word-nashville-neighbors/">published</a> a video reportedly recorded by a neighbor showing Wallen using the N-word after a night out in Nashville with friends. Wallen&#8217;s music was <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/siriusxm-pandora-cmt-iheartradio-pull-morgan-wallen-music-following-n-word-video-recorded-by-neighbor/">subsequently removed from numerous platforms.</a></p>
<p>Wallen apologized publicly, saying, “I’m embarrassed and sorry. I used an unacceptable and inappropriate racial slur that I wish I could take back. There are no excuses to use this type of language, ever. I want to sincerely apologize for using the word. I promise to do better.”</p>
<p>Wallen’s sister Ashlyne <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/morgan-wallen-sister-slams-cancel-culture-following-brothers-deplatforming?itm_source=parsely-api">posted an Instagram message</a> in which she wrote:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>There are only 3 things you should ever do about a mistake: admit it, learn from it, and don’t repeat it. Cancel culture is the worst thing that has come out of our digital world. It leaves no room for forgiveness and growth, in turn, leaving no opportunity for individuals who have made mistakes to learn from them. If you make a mistake or do something stupid then apologize, correct your mistake, and learn through personal growth.&#8221;</em></p>
<p><em>“The world we live in thrives off drama and bringing others down. I refuse to be part of that,” she continued. “If my family or my friends make a mistake and apologize, I&#8217;m going to listen, accept it, and expect them to learn from their mistake. Someone who is truly sorry should be forgiven — not continuously bashed. Your past mistakes do not define you; it is how you choose to move forward that does.”</em></p>
<p><em>“While our digital world connects us in a wonderful way, it also does the opposite. It gives many a platform to spew hate at others. It is easy to say something behind the safety of a screen — anyone can do it. But, those receiving the comments are people, too. I know my brother. He is my best friend. And although what he said was completely unacceptable, I know that it did not come from a place of hate or malicious intent,” she added.</em></p></blockquote>
<p>Wallen’s “Dangerous: The Double Album<em>”</em> sold extraordinarily well in the face of the attempts to cancel him. “Radio and others may have dropped him, but Morgan Wallen&#8217;s music is still selling,” <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2021/02/08/entertainment/morgan-wallen-record-sales/index.html">CNN</a> reported.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.billboard.com/articles/business/chart-beat/9522648/morgan-wallen-dangerous-tops-billboard-200-fourth-week">Billboard</a> added in early February 2021 that the album  was remaining number one on the Billboard 200 chart for a fourth consecutive week. “The set earned 149,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. in the week ending Feb. 4 (up 14%), according to MRC Data. The album arrived atop the list three weeks ago, on the chart dated Jan. 23.”</p>
<p>Billboard <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/chart-beat/dua-lipa-morgan-wallen-us-2021-mrc-data-1235016079/">confirmed</a> in January 2022 that the album was 2021’s most popular album in any genre.</p>

‘This Award Will Signify That His Daddy Was A Fighter’: Morgan Wallen Wins Album Of The Year At Academy Of Country Music Awards

<p>Rapper Lil Durk called out cancel culture during a Saturday Martin Luther King Jr. Freedom Fest in Nashville, inviting criticized country musical artist Morgan Wallen to join him on stage.</p>
<p>“And can’t nobody cancel s*** without me saying it, you know what I’m saying?” Durk told the crowd before inviting Wallen to stand by him.</p>

<p>The two musical artists then performed their 2021 song &#8220;<a href="https://youtu.be/2CNl_CCtE-I" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Broadway Girls</a>&#8221; before the roaring audience.</p>
<p>Wallen has been criticized repeatedly over a video of him shared in February 2021 that included the use of the N-word. Wallen promptly apologized and has since made efforts to show his concerns for friends in the black community.</p>
<p>Durk has stood by his friend Wallen, collaborating on the 2021 song. During an interview earlier in January with <a href="https://youtu.be/HQAZrRJwv2A" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TMZ</a>, Durk again affirmed Wallen is &#8220;no racist.&#8221;</p>
<p>“Nah, he ain’t no racist, that’s my boy. We had a long talk, he had his public situation. We ain’t behind closed doors. I’d vouch for him in a minute. He’s good,” Durk said.</p>
<p>“[Wallen] ain’t canceled, I talked to him. When I say you ain’t canceled, you ain’t canceled,” he added.</p>
<p>Other black performers have also appeared to join Durk&#8217;s lead. The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/rapper-lil-durk-says-morgan-wallen-aint-no-racist" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>Comedian Druski sat down with the 28-year-old country star for an interview on his <a href="https://www.clubhouse.com/room/MEpjZ0zp">Clubhouse</a> show, “<a href="https://www.clubhouse.com/room/MEpjZ0zp">Behind the Vest</a>,” at the end of December. Wallen told the funnyman that he reached out to Durk, asking him if they could work together.</em></p>
<p><em>“That song kind of came about over this summer, and I was really, really, really pumped on it,” Wallen said, adding, “Durk commented on my Instagram. … So I hit him up. Me and him had been talking a little bit throughout the year and kind of developed a friendship.”</em></p>
<p><em>He also told Druski that he’d welcome an opportunity to work with other rappers, and mentioned several he has his eye on, saying, “I do love Moneybagg [Yo]. He’s definitely at the top of the list. … But, like overall, ever…I’m trying to think of not just in the past little bit…Kendrick Lamar would be pretty cool.”</em></p></blockquote>
<p>Despite the efforts by some to &#8220;cancel&#8221; Wallen, his 2021 album ended up becoming the best-selling album of the year. The artist reflected on the events of the past year in a popular <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CYNb_RtL0kT" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Instagram</a> post:</p>
<blockquote><p><em><span class="">I could write a book on 2021. And I probably will one day. But for now, I wanna say thank you. Thank you to everyone who believed in me and continued to believe in me, even when it wasn’t the popular thing to do. Thank you to my family, my band, my friends, and my fans for having my back and sticking up for me when so many were coming for me. I hope my heart has shown through the noise.</span></em></p>
<p><em>I go into 2022 feeling inspired and free. Inspired to create from the heart and free to share those creations with you guys. Im so proud of how far we’ve come together. I still feel like this is just the beginning.</em></p>
<p><em>God bless y’all let’s crush this year.</em></p></blockquote>


‘Can’t Nobody Cancel S***’: Rapper Lil Durk Invites Morgan Wallen To Join Him At MLK Festival

Cancel Culture

<p>Openly conservative country music signer RaeLynn last week declared that &#8220;country music is not racist,&#8221; reacting to the narrative surrounding fellow singer Morgan Wallen.</p>
<p>Wallen last year was subject to deplatforming after a secretly-recorded tape was leaked to the media showing the singer on an alcohol-fueled bender calling his white friend the N-word. Still, Wallen&#8217;s music continued to climb the charts thanks to fans.</p>
<p>&#8220;How did you take it when [Wallen] said that maybe his music, after the incident, was charting so high, because there was a &#8230; racial problem in country music?&#8221; &#8220;The Spillover&#8221; host Alex Clark <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/country-music-is-not-racist-interview-with-raelynn/id1507839530?i=1000547165362">asked</a> RaeLynn, referring to an interview Wallen did on &#8220;Good Morning America.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;First of all, country music is not racist,&#8221; RaeLynn asserted. &#8220;I&#8217;ve never seen that. &#8230; I&#8217;ve never experienced that.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I think that Morgan &#8230; is a really good person deep down and he made a mistake,&#8221; she continued. Wallen and RaeLynn are both alumni on the talent show &#8220;The Voice.&#8221;</p>
<p>The singer added that she &#8220;knew&#8221; the media would spin Wallen&#8217;s success as evidence of racism in country music. &#8220;I knew that when his music started going to the next level, I knew that was going to be what they said,&#8221; she told Clark.</p>
<p>The singer also torched cancel culture more generally, noting that she found herself afraid to release a song about her life, called &#8220;She Chose Me,&#8221; because it contained a pro-life message.</p>
<p>RaeLynn recalled talking to her husband about her fear: &#8220;The fact that I&#8217;m scared speaks volumes about cancel culture, because I literally released a song about my life, and I&#8217;m nervous for my fans to hear it.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;You should be able to talk about what you believe in and not get canceled,&#8221; she continued. Cancel culture is &#8220;not what America is about.&#8221;</p>
<p>Ultimately, RaeLynn is not willing to keep quiet about her views. &#8220;If I lose a few fans because I&#8217;m speaking my heart, I&#8217;m okay with that,&#8221; she told Clark, &#8220;honestly I&#8217;m just being who I am.&#8221;</p>

<p>Back in September, RaeLynn <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/award-winning-country-singer-comes-out-with-pro-life-song-that-hits-home">released</a> “She Chose Me” to her followers via Instagram.</p>
<p>“‘She Chose Me,’ one of the tracks on BAYTOWN, hits close to home for me in many ways,” the singer posted. “This album’s got a lot of sass and bass but I promised you I will always write from the heart and not shy away from the hard subjects. This song is my heart.”</p>
<p>Taste of Country <a href="https://tasteofcountry.com/raelynn-baytown-album-interview-2021/">noted</a> that the song outlines “‘a Bible Belt-lovin’ believer’ who gets pregnant after an extramarital affair with a man on Galveston Bay and, the lyrics imply, considers getting an abortion,” but in the end chooses her daughter.</p>
<p>RaeLynn also praises the joy of motherhood in the album. “‘Made for Me to Love,’ a love letter to her infant daughter Daisy, in January, when she was only eight weeks pregnant,” Taste of Country said. “She says she arrived at the writing session feeling ‘super emotional’ and, despite the axiom about waiting to share pregnancy news until after the first trimester, she told her co-writers that she was pregnant before sitting down to write the song.”</p>

‘Country Music Is Not Racist’: Award Winning Singer Talks Morgan Wallen, Cancel Culture

<p>Rapper Lil Durk has a message for record executives, entertainment agents, award show producers, and radio station and streaming platform owners: Morgan Wallen isn’t cancelled.</p>
<p>Early last year, after a leaked video showed the country star drunkenly using the N-word in reference to a white friend, Wallen faced a massive backlash that saw establishment figures throughout the industry distancing themselves from him. His label suspended him, and high-powered agency WME dropped him as a client. He was further banned from multiple music award shows and radio outlets and music streaming platforms pulled his songs out of rotation. Nevertheless, as The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/billboard-confirms-morgan-wallen-has-2021s-top-selling-album-across-all-genres">previously reported</a>, Wallen went on to have the top-selling album of the year in any genre.</p>
<p>He also, surprisingly, ended the year at the top of the Hip-Hop charts thanks to a collaboration with black artist Lil Durk who told <a href="https://youtu.be/HQAZrRJwv2A">TMZ</a> last week that he was happy to partner with Wallen on the rap-country hit, “Broadway Girls.”</p>
<p>“Nah, he ain’t no racist, that’s my boy. We had a long talk, he had his public situation. We ain’t behind closed doors. I’d vouch for him in a minute. He’s good,” Durk told the outlet when it asked him about Wallen’s use of the racial slur. He went on, “[Wallen] ain’t canceled, I talked to him. When I say you ain’t canceled, you ain’t canceled.”</p>
<p>Other black performers appear to be following Durk’s lead in letting Wallen put the past behind him. Comedian Druski sat down with the 28-year-old country star for an interview on his <a href="https://www.clubhouse.com/room/MEpjZ0zp">Clubhouse</a> show, “<a href="https://www.clubhouse.com/room/MEpjZ0zp">Behind the Vest</a>,” at the end of December. Wallen told the funnyman that he reached out to Durk, asking him if they could work together.</p>
<p>“That song kind of came about over this summer, and I was really, really, really pumped on it,” Wallen said, adding, “Durk commented on my Instagram. … So I hit him up. Me and him had been talking a little bit throughout the year and kind of developed a friendship.”</p>
<p>He also told Druski that he’d welcome an opportunity to work with other rappers, and mentioned several he has his eye on, saying, “I do love Moneybagg [Yo]. He’s definitely at the top of the list. … But, like overall, ever…I’m trying to think of not just in the past little bit…Kendrick Lamar would be pretty cool.”</p>
<p>At the time that TMZ leaked the infamous video, recorded without Wallen’s knowledge by one of his neighbors, he was quick to apologize.</p>
<p>“I used an unacceptable and inappropriate racial slur that I wish I could take back,” Wallen said in a statement. “There are no excuses to use this type of language, ever. I want to sincerely apologize for using the word. I promise to do better.”</p>
<p>Going by sales of &#8220;Broadway Girls,&#8221; at least, hip-hop fans appear to be taking him at his word.</p>

ABEL 7th Annual Back To School With Lil Durk

Rapper Lil Durk Says Morgan Wallen ‘Ain’t No Racist’

<p>Despite being banned by award shows, suspended by his label, dropped by his agent, and having his songs pulled from radio stations and music streaming platforms, Morgan Wallen has still managed to score 2021’s top album in any genre, Billboard’s <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/chart-beat/dua-lipa-morgan-wallen-us-2021-mrc-data-1235016079/">year-end report</a> confirmed Thursday.</p>
<p>In February, the fallout over Wallen being caught on video drunkenly using the N-word in reference to a white friend looked likely to derail his career. But to the shock of the music industry, fans stood by him and Dangerous: The Double Album, which had been released only weeks before, continued to climb the charts. Now that the end-of-year tallies have come in, Billboard reported Wallen’s record wrapped up the year with “3.226 million equivalent album units earned in the U.S.” Most of that total was derived from streaming downloads of the album’s list of 30 songs.</p>
<p>The outlet also noted that Dangerous is the first country album to top the yearly chart since Taylor Swift’s 2009 release, Fearless.</p>
<p>As The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/morgan-wallen-issues-lengthy-thank-you-post-after-defeating-cancel-culture">reported</a>, the 28-year-old Wallen issued a statement to fans on Instagram, thanking them for sticking by him.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;I could write a book on 2021. And I probably will one day. But for now, I wanna say thank you.&#8221;</em></p>
<p><em>&#8220;Thank you to everyone who believed in me and continued to believe in me, even when it wasn’t the popular thing to do,” the country star continued. “Thank you to my family, my band, my friends, and my fans for having my back and sticking up for me when so many were coming for me. I hope my heart has shown through the noise.&#8221;</em></p>
<p><em>&#8220;I go into 2022 feeling inspired and free. Inspired to create from the heart and free to share those creations with you guys. Im so proud of how far we’ve come together. I still feel like this is just the beginning.&#8221;</em></p>
<p><em>&#8220;God bless y’all let’s crush this year.&#8221;</em></p></blockquote>
<p>While it seems clear from the numbers that people who like Wallen’s music were simply unwilling to let the recording industry succeed in canceling him, some media outlets used his success as an opportunity to imply his fans were motivated by racism. In reporting on his top-selling status, <a href="https://www.npr.org/2022/01/06/1070879884/morgan-wallen--adele--music-sales--2021-billboard">NPR</a> editorialized, “Wallen&#8217;s bad-boy behavior likely helped sales of his release, Dangerous: The Double Album.&#8221;</p>
<p>But if that’s the case, it wouldn’t explain one final shock in Wallen’s roller-coaster year, which finished with one additional surprising success — after partnering with rapper Lil Durk on the song “Broadway Girls,” he is also now sitting at <a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/lil-durk-morgan-wallen-broadway-girls-number-1-rb-hip-hop-songs-chart/">number one</a> on the R&amp;B/hip-hop chart, suggesting black fans, too, are willing to let him move on from his admitted mistake.</p>
<p>In a Clubhouse interview with black comedian Druski, Wallen said he would welcome a chance to collaborate with other rappers like Moneybagg Yo and Kendrick Lamar.</p>


Billboard Confirms: Morgan Wallen Has 2021’s Top Selling Album Across All Genres

<p>Country music star Morgan Wallen posted a thank you message to those who stuck by him following his deplatforming over a secretly-recorded tape showing an inebriated Wallen using expletives and calling his white friend the N-word.</p>
<p>&#8220;I could write a book on 2021,&#8221; Wallen wrote in an Instagram post published Saturday. &#8220;And I probably will one day. But for now, I wanna say thank you.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Thank you to everyone who believed in me and continued to believe in me, even when it wasn’t the popular thing to do,&#8221; the country star continued. &#8220;Thank you to my family, my band, my friends, and my fans for having my back and sticking up for me when so many were coming for me. I hope my heart has shown through the noise.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I go into 2022 feeling inspired and free,&#8221; the 28-year-old wrote. &#8220;Inspired to create from the heart and free to share those creations with you guys. Im so proud of how far we’ve come together. I still feel like this is just the beginning.&#8221;</p>
<p>Wallen closed the post, &#8220;God bless y’all let’s crush this year.&#8221;</p>
<p id="cb-e177d0f6b41253bea27b911a7c4c35cf" class="canvas-block canvas-block-permalink canvas-text-block canvas-text-block-permalink canvas-text-block--default " data-context="{&quot;section&quot;:&quot;permalink&quot;,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;text_block&quot;}">Following the drop of the secretly-recorded video, a solemn Wallen posted a message on his social media discussing the footage, admitting to fans that he was “on hour 72 of a bender.”</p>
<p data-context="{&quot;section&quot;:&quot;permalink&quot;,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;text_block&quot;}">“The video you saw was me on hour 72 of a bender, and that’s not something I’m proud of either,” he said. “Obviously, the natural thing to do is to apologize further and continue to apologize because you got caught, and that’s not what I wanted to do.”</p>
<p data-context="{&quot;section&quot;:&quot;permalink&quot;,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;text_block&quot;}">“I let so many people down who mean a lot to me, who have given so much to me, it’s just not fair,” Wallen continued. “I let my parents down and they’re the furthest thing from the person in that video. I let my son down and I’m not OK with that.”</p>
<p data-context="{&quot;section&quot;:&quot;permalink&quot;,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;text_block&quot;}">The then-27-year-old said he was offered the opportunity to have “some very real and honest conversations” with leaders of various black organizations, <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/morgan-wallen-speaks-out-n-word-controversy">according</a> to Fox News. He also <a href="https://variety.com/2021/music/news/morgan-wallen-gma-racial-slur-interview-rehab-donation-1235026256/">pledged</a> $500,000 to black charities.</p>
<p>Despite his immediate apology, numerous musical platforms and radio stations banned Wallen&#8217;s music over the tape, effectively &#8220;canceling&#8221; him. But his support did not drop.</p>
<p>Fans refused to shun the singer, landing his the best-selling album in 2021. Fox News <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/country-morgan-wallen-best-selling-album-2021-racial-slur-scandal-reports">reported</a> Wednesday that Wallen’s “Dangerous: The Double Album” has sold 3 million copies, unexpectedly outpacing anticipated albums like Olivia Rodrigo’s “Sour” EP and Drake’s “Certified Lover Boy.”</p>
<p>As highlighted by <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-musicians-supporting-morgan-wallen-following-deplatforming-over-leaked-n-word-video">The Daily Wire</a>, folks in the music industry like Miranda Lambert, Jason Aldean, Diplo, and Jake Owen publicly offered support to Wallen following the video, too. Additionally, the &#8220;Dangerous&#8221; singer&#8217;s Saturday post was accompanied by messages of support from Owen and Cole Swindell and &#8220;liked&#8221; by Jesse James Decker.</p>
