Morgan Wallen is in hot water again.
The country star was caught on camera throwing out the n-word outside of his home Sunday night after, what TMZ says was a rowdy night out with friends. He said a lot of other profanities as well.
Obviously, this is not good for Wallen, he was recently booted from a scheduled SNL appearance for violating their COVID protocols. SNL did have him back but two months later and he made fun of the incident. I don't think there will be a comedy skit about this latest controversy.
Wallen told TMZ: "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.”
Nearly 400 stations across the country have dropped Wallen's songs. STORY
And some of Country Music's biggest stars have taken to Twitter to address the incident.
It actually IS representative of our town because this isn’t his first “scuffle” and he just demolished a huge streaming record last month regardless. We all know it wasn’t his first time using that word. We keep them rich and protected at all costs with no recourse.

The news out of Nashville tonight does not represent country music.

This is not his first time using that “unacceptable” racial slur and we all known that. So what exactly are y’all going to do about it. Crickets won’t work this time.
