The country singer’s run-in with the law
However, the country music singer hasn’t always been in the spotlight for good reasons. According to Business Insider, Morgan Wallen has tacked on a string of controversies.
More notable ones include Morgan Wallen’s “Saturday Night Live” appearance being canceled in 2020 after he was caught partying without a mask during lockdown.
In 2021, he was caught on video using the N-word, reported the media outlet. Morgan Wallen’s music was then pulled from radio stations across the country and he was barred from attending the American Music Awards.
“I’m embarrassed and sorry,” Wallen told TMZ, according to Business Insider. “I used an unacceptable and inappropriate racial slur that I wish I could take back.”
More recently in 2024, Business Insider reported, Morgan Wallen was arrested in Nashville and charged with three felony counts after he allegedly threw a chair from a sixth-story rooftop bar.
