Morgan Wallen’s music continues to climb the charts despite a video that surfaced of him using a racial slur.
Earlier this week in a video obtained by TMZ, the country star can be seen walking to his Nashville home and telling someone to “take care of” “this pussy ass motherf—ker.” “Take care of this pussy ass n—r,” he adds.
His record label, Big Loud then announced that they would be suspending him “indefinitely.”
And iHeart and Cumulus Media also made the decision to remove the 27-year-old singer’s music from their stations.
Yet the country crooner’s music is dominating the iTunes charts.
On Thursday, Wallen had the number one song with “More Than My Hometown.” “Wanted on You” was number two and he held the four, five, six, eight and ten spots. He also monopolized the album charts with “Dangerous: The Double Album” reigning as number one and “If I Know Me,” as number two. And on the top ten country songs, Wallen held an astonishing nine out of ten spots.
The country superstar apologized for using the racist slur.
“I’m embarrassed and sorry. I used an unacceptable and inappropriate racial slur that I wish I could take back,” Wallen, said in a statement given to ET. “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.”
It’s not the first time the performer has landed himself in hot water.
In October he was booted from an episode of “Saturday Night Live” after he was caught partying on TikTok without a mask, according to the Wrap.
“I was getting ready for ‘SNL’ this Saturday, and I got a call from the show that I will no longer be able to play, and that’s because of COVID protocols, which I understand,” Wallen said on his Instagram.
