A big country music star has just been cancelled after video of him saying “nigger” surfaced on the Internet.
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.
“Team, unfortunately country music star Morgan Wallen was captured on video Sunday evening using a racial slur,” the email read, according to BBC. “Effective immediately we request that all of Morgan Wallen’s music be removed from our playlists without exception.”
iHeartRadio also made the decision Wednesday to pull Wallen’s music from its stations, Billboard reported.
“In light of Morgan Wallen’s recent actions involving the use of a racial slur, we have made the decision to remove his music and content from our stations effective immediately,” an iHeartRadio spokesperson told Billboard.
SiriusXM and Pandora later made the decision to remove Wallen’s content from their services, Variety reported.
Did he actually think he was going to get uncancelled by apologizing? You literally get nothing for apologizing. You remain cancelled no matter how much you apologize.
This idea that White people can’t say “nigger” without having their lives ruined is stupid. Especially when the Jewish entertainment industry pumps out all sorts of rap music, movies etc.. that use the “nigger” word repeatedly.
The bottom line is that if you can’t say “nigger” without fear of reprisals than there is no such thing as free speech. That’s why I think people should say “nigger” as much as they want.
NIGGER, NIGGER, NIGGER, NIGGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NIGGER!
