Thought we forgot about this?

The country star and a group of buddies had just spent a night out in Nashville. When they arrived at Morgan's home at around midnight, they were extremely loud ... honking horns and talking loudly ... loud enough to piss off neighbors. One of the neighbors began recording the antics.

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.

From the TMZ article:

Wallen tells 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.”

I'm not going to stand here and pretend that I didn't used to be a fucking racist when I was a kid. I made a conscious choice a long time back to change that, and it's work. But you know what's not work? Keeping your fucking mouth shut. That shit is easy, whether you're sober or not.

Best case scenario, this incident was a wake-up call for Wallen, and he's doing the work. I seem to recall that Drake's judgment isn't so great, so their being on stage together doesn't say a whole lot.

Yeah throwing my hat into the ring too. I used to be a racist little shit when I was a kid too :/

I didn't have racist beliefs (at least not directly/intentionally/as a result of ideology), but I thought being edgy was as funny as it gets

Well yeah, agreed, stark differences can be scary and difficult for children to comprehend without some explaination. But this tool a full-ass adult person who knows full-well the wallowed weight of that woefully wretched word.

There's a mistake and there's being a piece of shit. He smells is all I'm saying.

What do you mean drakes judgement isn’t great? He knows exactly which underage child stars to groom.

This. We need to be more forgiving in general. I know I'm not the same person I was five years ago and I don't think you are either

[–] bytesonbike@discuss.online 2 points 1 week ago

Gonna say maybe that he learned his lesson.

Still the dude who said "Get me to God's country", whatever the fuck that meant.

Huh, dude just came out with an album. Good to see he's not letting a good controversy go to waste.

Morgan Wallen

I am friends with a few guys that grew up together in a middle class white town. When they would get together and party they'd call each other awful words. I don't think they're racist or homophobic, the slurs they called each other were a sign of how close they are

“Say Drake!”

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Someone's just asking to be sued.

[–] stevestevesteve@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Sued for what

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Being mean to Drake.

had no idea who morgan wallen was so i looked him up and saw that he was on the voice and was shocked to learn he WASN'T on team blake because, let's face, i just assumed he was on team blake.
