What good is Cancel Culture, they said, if the targets aren\u2019t permanently canceled?<\/p>\n<p>Wallen finally emerged from his self-imposed hiatus toward the end of 2021. And, we\u2019re just learning, his record sales boomed during his tumultuous year. He crushed 2021 by having the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/entertainment\/country-morgan-wallen-best-selling-album-2021-racial-slur-scandal-reports\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">number one selling album<\/a>&nbsp;of the year, \u201cDangerous: The Double Album.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The release beat out stiff competition from Adele, Drake and Olivia Rodrigo.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s not all, though.<\/p>\n<p>The far-Left Variety reports Wallen now sits&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2021\/music\/news\/morgan-wallen-currently-no-1-on-hip-hop-chart-says-hed-like-to-work-with-kendrick-lamar-1235144949\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">atop the Hip-Hop music charts<\/a>&nbsp;thanks to \u201cBroadway Girls.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-slot-rendered-dynamic=\"true\">The track, teaming Wallen with rapper Lil Durk, needed roughly a week to climb Billboard\u2019s R&amp;B\/hip-hop charts. And Wallen\u2019s hip-hop connections aren\u2019t over.<\/p>\n[embedded content]\n<p>He just appeared with Druski, a black comic, on a Clubhouse talk show. The conversation avoided the \u201cn-word\u201d incident and focused on music, future hip-hop collaborations and small talk.<\/p>\n<p>The black community should be the angriest about Wallen\u2019s use of the \u201cn-word,\u201d to state the obvious. That his latest song soared up the R&amp;B\/Hip-Hop charts, which routinely features artists of color and boasts a diverse fan base, speaks volumes for how Wallen was treated during the past year.<\/p>\n<p>The superstar didn\u2019t hurt anyone, mislead the public or hurl that awful word against a black person. The punishment did not remotely fit the crime, and many Americans from all races and creeds felt he had suffered enough.<\/p>\n<p data-slot-rendered-dynamic=\"true\">They showed it by continuing to buy his albums and salute his cross-over efforts.
