THE REAL BURIED LEDE IS THAT GAY PATRIOT HAS JOINED PJ MEDIA. Bruce Carroll: Country Music Rocked by Cultural Earthquakes This Week.
News broke on Tuesday of a drunken Morgan Wallen caught on video over the weekend being loud and disruptive outside of his home. Wallen has shot to country music stardom in the past few years and was named as New Artist of the Year at the 2020 Country Music Association (CMA) Awards in November.
Wallen and some friends came back to his home early Sunday morning from a rowdy night of partying in Nashville. His neighbors were angry at the early morning antics and began recording the events. What happened next has resulted in Morgan Wallen losing his superstar-level status in country music overnight.
According to the neighbor’s videos obtained by TMZ:
As Morgan appears to stumble toward his house, he tells someone to watch over a guy in his group. He says … “take care of this “p****-ass mother******” — and then goes on to say, “take care of this p****-ass n*****” … before finally heading in.
Leading up to this incident, Wallen was at the top of the country music charts with his newly released album, ironically entitled “Dangerous.” That album currently sits atop the Billboard Country chart as do several of Wallen’s singles from “Dangerous.”
The 27-year-old Wallen did release and apology following the initial TMZ report stating: “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.”
However, the reaction to Wallen’s racial slurs caught on tape and his rowdy behavior was swift and severe throughout the country music industry.
