Morgan Wallen's Billboard Music Awards 2022 showcase slammed as 'racist'
The previously “canceled” 29-year-old performed not one, but two songs Sunday night a year after a February 2021 video of him surfaced drunkenly calling his friend the N-word and other expletives went viral.. “With what just happened in Buffalo, we coulda cut him from the lineup. Un-canceled my ass. That’s the problem now, we always giving out second chances for MFs to play in our faces.”
Whalen, who performed “Don’t Think Jesus” before transitioning into a performance of “Wasted on You,” did not address the controversy that had him previously ban from the ceremony.“Diddy gives an award for activism against racism while simultaneously giving platform to Morgan Wallen,” another noted.
