Morgan Wallen “will never make excuse” for using racial slur except to say he “isn't that guy”
He’s just not that guy, says the country megastar who was caught on camera using the n-word
Two years after he was caught on camera saying the n-word, country music megastar Morgan Wallen wants fans to know that “he will never make an excuse” for using the slur because “he is really not that guy.” It’s an interesting conundrum for the guy who really did use that word and nearly blew up his burgeoning, multi-million-dollar career. Luckily for him, his casual racism seemingly helped him sell more records because we live in hell. Nevertheless, in a new interview with Billboard, Wallen, who is speaking about the incident for the first time in two years and won 11 Billboard Music Awards in 2023, says there’s no excuse for his actions. However, he argues that if he were actually a racist, he “wouldn’t have cared” and “wouldn’t have apologized” since there has never, ever (not once) been an insincere public apology made by a celebrity.
“There’s no excuse. I’ve never made an excuse. I never will make an excuse,” Wallen said. “I’ve talked to a lot of people, heard stories [about] things that I would have never thought about because I wasn’t the one going through it.”
