One of the biggest names in country music uses "N word", major chains pull his music

[Demovictory9]

One of the biggest names in country music will not have his songs played on major chains of radio stations and streaming platforms after he was heard saying a racial slur.

Morgan Wallen, whose “Dangerous” album has remained on top of the Billboard chart for the three straight weeks, said in a statement he is “embarrassed and sorry” for using the racial slur. A clip shared by TMZ Tuesday shows him calling one of his friends the N-word.

“I used an unacceptable and inappropriate racial slur that I wish I could take back,” he said in a statement to The Tennessean. “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.”

But his language has pushed Cumulus Media, which controls more than 400 radio stations in the United States, to remove Wallen’s music from their rotation, Variety reported.

Cumulus Media’s executive vice president of programming sent an email to their program directors regarding them of the directive.

1. Guess I don't get out - never heard of the guy. Just as well.

4. He's the guy SNL delayed his appearance because he was necking with random women the week before he

was scheduled. Against their covid protocols. He's a real shit kicker.

5. Don't feel bad, neither have I.

But, I avoid country music like the plague, anyway.

10. Me either. But I don't listen to country music if I can help it.

13. I've never heard of him either. Oh, well.

2. Yeah, they are always remorseful when the repercussions catch up with them--never before, it seems

[onethatcares]

3. hows that go?

If I offended anybody I want to apologize for being blatant. Please don't notice it."

6. I knew this would happen, Morgan Wallen is 27.

[StarfishSaver]

14. Being 27 makes people use racial slurs?

15. Naw, just knew Gweneth Paltro wasn't going to be the only outgroup person who thought she had a

... pass to use ingroup diction because her close friends are part of an ingroup.

Dude was talking to his friend ... doesn't matter, outgroups don't get blanket passes and it was right for him to apologize.

I had to correct way too many outgroup kids using the slur without pause as if they had blanket pass especially in when I lived in Texas and knew it would spread.

Hopefully this is a good check

8. Taking lessons from that NASCAR fellow Larson, I see.

Soon enough he should be playing the Southern roadhouse circuit. That's how they roll.

9. Straight outta the trailer park - trash.

I knew he was the first time I saw him on SNL.

11. it will be excused as political correctness on many other cumulus stations

12. This Is How You Deal With A Situation Like This....

This is how this type of behavior stops - when people like this guy get punished to the extent that he's been punished. It makes others think twice before they behave like this guy.

This is how the Repugs need to deal with MT Greene. Not only remove her from her committee appointments - but to drum her out of the Congress and the Party.

If they did that - it will deter others from becoming like her.

This is how we need to deal with Tr**p. This country cannot tolerate another pResident like Tr**p.
