Musician Morgan Wallen has revealed that he is still happy, despite not winning an accolade at the CMA Awards and being banned from it.
Musician Morgan Wallen Feels ‘Blessed’ Despite Being Banned From The CMA Awards After Using The N-Word
Morgan, for his part, was up for the best album of the year. And yet, he lost out to another singer Chris Stapleton. This is totally understandable for the following reasons when we look at why he was banned.
First of all, Morgan was prevented from attending after a video had emerged of him using some derogatory racial terms. In the video here, we can see that Morgan was hanging out with some friends.
But the way that he was interacting with them led to huge criticism. He can be heard saying the N-word, as well as using other expletives.
In response, Morgan was forced to issue a public apology: “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 apologise for using the word. I promise to do better.”Â
Nevertheless, that was not enough to get him back into the good books of the industry. He was subsequently banned from some streaming services, but Morgan recognises that this is the price he had to pay for his conduct.
And that is why he is still looking at the brighter side of life. In a post to his fans on Twitter, he said: “I wake up every morning and thank the Lord for my blessings. Tomorrow morning will be no different. I love y’all.”
It is important to bear in mind that Morgan was drunk at the time. While this is no excuse for his behaviour, it does show that he was not himself. With that in mind, he has vowed to be more careful over his behaviour going forward.
In an interview on ‘Good Morning America,’ he remarked: “I was around some of my friends, and we say dumb stuff together. In our minds, it’s playful. That sounds ignorant, but that’s really where it came from. And it’s wrong.”
