His label suspended him, and high-powered agency WME dropped him as a client. He was further banned from multiple music award shows and radio outlets and music streaming platforms pulled his songs out of rotation. Nevertheless, as The Daily Wire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/billboard-confirms-morgan-wallen-has-2021s-top-selling-album-across-all-genres\">previously reported<\/a>, Wallen went on to have the top-selling album of the year in any genre.<\/p>\n<p>He also, surprisingly, ended the year at the top of the Hip-Hop charts thanks to a collaboration with black artist Lil Durk who told <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/HQAZrRJwv2A\">TMZ<\/a> last week that he was happy to partner with Wallen on the rap-country hit, \u201cBroadway Girls.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNah, he ain\u2019t no racist, that\u2019s my boy. We had a long talk, he had his public situation. We ain\u2019t behind closed doors. I\u2019d vouch for him in a minute. He\u2019s good,\u201d Durk told the outlet when it asked him about Wallen\u2019s use of the racial slur. He went on, \u201c[Wallen] ain\u2019t canceled, I talked to him. When I say you ain\u2019t canceled, you ain\u2019t canceled.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Other black performers appear to be following Durk\u2019s lead in letting Wallen put the past behind him. Comedian Druski sat down with the 28-year-old country star for an interview on his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clubhouse.com\/room\/MEpjZ0zp\">Clubhouse<\/a> show, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.clubhouse.com\/room\/MEpjZ0zp\">Behind the Vest<\/a>,\u201d at the end of December. Wallen told the funnyman that he reached out to Durk, asking him if they could work together.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat song kind of came about over this summer, and I was really, really, really pumped on it,\u201d Wallen said, adding, \u201cDurk commented on my Instagram. \u2026 So I hit him up. Me and him had been talking a little bit throughout the year and kind of developed a friendship.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He also told Druski that he\u2019d welcome an opportunity to work with other rappers, and mentioned several he has his eye on, saying, \u201cI do love Moneybagg [Yo]. He\u2019s definitely at the top of the list. \u2026 But, like overall, ever\u2026I\u2019m trying to think of not just in the past little bit\u2026Kendrick Lamar would be pretty cool.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At the time that TMZ leaked the infamous video, recorded without Wallen\u2019s knowledge by one of his neighbors, he was quick to apologize.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI used an unacceptable and inappropriate racial slur that I wish I could take back,\u201d Wallen said in a statement.&nbsp;\u201cThere are no excuses to use this type of language, ever. I want to sincerely apologize for using the word. I promise to do better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Going by sales of \u201cBroadway Girls,\u201d at least, hip-hop fans appear to be taking him at his word.<\/p>\n[embedded content]\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
