First was getting arrested at Kid Rock's Nashville bar and now this. Either he is trying to be an outlaw country star singing bro country songs or he is just plain dumb.

He was NOT CANCELED. Suspended. His record company will have him back. He will tour again. He will make money. This is temporary.

Words have consequences, whether on stage or in public, drunk, messing around with friends (I realize it was right outside his house). He is also a white person from a rural area. He does not get to use the word the same as a Black person does. I don't care if you think that is unfair, it is reality.

Personally I'm a fan of his music. He has a lot of great songs, and people bagging on him because they don't like present day "country" is absurd. His new double album is tremendous. And just because you think you are cool and "have never heard of him" before doesn't mean he isn't a huge star (the second biggest country star right now behind Luke Combs I would guess).

He unfortunately has some "growing up to do" and needs to make better decisions. He will hopefully learn to do that and he will be back.
Ok Matt.

Not my kind of music. But kids love his music. I love all the old people on here commenting on how bad he is. He’s not singing for you boomer.

Thank you! Thought I was gonna have to die on this hill alone (only on this board full of the ‘too cool for new country’ simpletons).

Dude is still on track to have the number 1 overall album by the end of the week. Across all genres.

But, yeah sure, his music sucks and only teenage girls like him. 🙄🙄

I’ll never understand why anyone cares who anyone likes. If you like them listen. If not don’t. Simple.

Laughing at white people who are offended when a black person uses the n word
I agree with this ^^^^

However, there’s no doubt that the habitual use of the n word throughout the black community...especially in the entertainment industry...has perpetuated the use of the word in modern times.

Also...laughing at anybody who gets offended by this asshat getting caught saying the n word on a random neighbor’s phone recording but then turns around and gives somebody like Bill Maher a pass for saying the n word on a nationally televised HBO show.

Morgan Wallen is loved by white, teenage, small town, Old- Row wannabes. That’s why he’s popular. No judgement from me, but that’s his market share. If that’s what you like, that’s what you like.

I just want to say as a white, 25 year old, rural dude that I don't like Morgan Wallen's music. Mostly it's the younger female crowd that's into him in my experience.

These stations wouldn’t have removed his music had he driven drunk and accidentally killed somebody. Which is to say that using the n-word - regardless of context - is considered by big business, media and education worse than committing an actual felony. If you don’t think that’s insane you’re a moron.

I am all for not using offensive words but if Caucasians are offended by whitey, cracker and/or honkey shouldn't people of color have to quit saying those words too?

Slap a slide guitar on a top 40 pop song and call it country. Crap product. The dude is a Ken doll and apparently a racist idiot. He’ll be replaced next week with another better trained version.

Morgan f'ed up but I still hope the neighbor gets the"Higgins" treatment.
Will lmao if he's crying to the media about getting death threats or someone tries to screw with his job/livelyhood.
Neighbor is a straight ***** imo.
If Morgan wasn't talking to him or on his property is should mind his own business.
Just hope it causes him.more trouble than the TMZ payment was worth.

All the problems in the world and you all are discussing this?

The other night I woke up and couldn't go back to sleep, turned on LAP and thought coast to coast had been canceled. That would have been a real problem. It just doesn't come on as early as it used to.

Walked in on a conversation at work between my boss and several other people, and they were discussing the inadvertent use of the N word. My boss asked me if I had ever used the N word inadvertently at work. I said "no, but I've sure used the M word a lot"....and one of my coworkers spoke up and said he could vouch for that.

It’s hard to imagine how big of a ***** you have to be to think it’s fine for members of group A to use a word in basically every song and frequently in conversation, but then agree that if someone from group B utters the word regardless of context, the virgin ears of the members of group A won’t be able to handle it.

To me, society must be consistent.

FYI - Cancel culture, using things from 20 years ago is unfair and bad. Having your music pulled because you recently used the "N word" is not being canceled. It's called darwinism.

Frightening that some of you are trying to excuse and rationalize this.

Considering group A (historically speaking) uses it in a way to dehumanize AFTER enslaving group B, your context is provided.

Let's also consider the context of what Morgan was saying rather than comparing it to a rap song, which are completely different.

As has been said, only Paula Deen has ever truly been canceled over this and its likely because everyone knew she looks at black people like some kind of tool. Morgan will hopefully learn and move on from this.

Glad people enjoy his music but it ain't for me.

True, he did. I'll say this, I don't think it's beneficial for anyone to say a word that is tied to such a dark part of our history. I know it's just a word but it carries quite a bit of anger, hatred and pain.

I've always felt the overuse of the term by the black community would be problematic but it also isn't my culture and I can't dictate how they should perceive behavior.

Saw an alleged quote by Keanu Reeves recently where he basically said hes at the age where arguing isn't worth it. "if you say 1+1 = 5, you're right, enjoy.". I'd like to be there one day with all of this stuff (politics, race, sports).
