Wallen has since <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/watch-morgan-wallen-posts-apology-video-talks-sobriety-following-n-word-video-deplatforming\">apologized<\/a> for using the slur, which happened \u201con hour 72 of a bender\u201d late at night in Nashville.<\/p>\n<p>Wallen was banned at appearing at the 2021 Billboard Music Awards over the incident. He was not barred from being nominated for major awards, however, since nominations are tied to his position on Billboard charts as well as his music sales and streams on online platforms.<\/p>\n<p>On Sunday, Wallen was nominated in six categories and took home awards for Top Country Artist, Top Country Male Artist, and Top Country Album for \u201cDangerous: The Double Album,\u201d according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eonline.com\/news\/1272575\/morgan-wallen-wins-2021-billboard-music-awards-despite-being-banned-from-appearing-on-show\">E! News<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Dick Clark Productions released a statement in April saying that while Wallen was banned from the 2021 Billboard awards show, the production company would consider lifting the ban for future shows.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMorgan Wallen is a finalist this year based on charting,\u201d the company said, according to E! News. \u201cAs his recent conduct does not align with our core values, we will not be including him on the show in any capacity (performing, presenting, accepting). It is heartening and encouraging to hear that Morgan is taking steps in his anti-racist journey and starting to do some meaningful work. We plan to evaluate his progress and will consider his participation in future shows.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Over the weekend, the Academy of Country Music <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/cma-board-limits-morgan-wallens-award-eligibility-excluded-from-the-top-prize\">restricted<\/a> Wallen from taking home any awards in individual categories such as male vocalist of the year over the viral video. Wallen will still be eligible to receive awards in other categories so as to give credit to his collaborators.<\/p>\n<p>Wallen issued a lengthy apology after he was filmed, reportedly by a neighbor, calling a similarly drunk friend a \u201cp****-a** n*****\u201d after a night of heavy drinking. As <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/watch-morgan-wallen-posts-apology-video-talks-sobriety-following-n-word-video-deplatforming\">The Daily Wire<\/a> reported:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"34.770408163265\">\n<p>\u201cThe video you saw was me on hour 72 of a bender, and that\u2019s not something I\u2019m proud of either,\u201d a solemn Wallen says in the video, posted to social media and sent to TMZ. \u201cObviously, the natural thing to do is to apologize further and continue to apologize because you got caught, and that\u2019s not what I wanted to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI let so many people down who mean a lot to me, who have given so much to me, it\u2019s just not fair,\u201d he said. \u201cI let my parents down and they\u2019re the furthest thing from the person in that video. I let my son down and I\u2019m not OK with that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The 27-year-old said he was offered the opportunity to have&nbsp;\u201csome very real and honest conversations\u201d with leaders of various black organizations,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/entertainment\/morgan-wallen-speaks-out-n-word-controversy\">according<\/a>&nbsp;to Fox News.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis week I heard firsthand some personal stories from Black people that honestly shook me,\u201d he explained. \u201cAnd I know what I\u2019m going through this week doesn\u2019t even compare to some of the trials I about from them. I came away from those discussions with a deep appreciation for them and a clearer understanding of the weight of&nbsp;my words.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur actions matter,\u201d Wallen said. \u201cOur words matter and I just want to encourage anyone watching to please learn from my mistake. There\u2019s no reason to downplay what I did. It matters and please know I\u2019m carefully choosing my next steps in repair.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/morgan-wallen-sister-slams-cancel-culture-following-brothers-deplatforming\">Morgan Wallen\u2019s Sister Slams \u2018Cancel Culture\u2019 Following Brother\u2019s Deplatforming Over N-Word Video Taped By Neighbor: \u2018No Room For Forgiveness And Growth\u2019<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\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.
