Obviously, 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, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/entertainment\/morgan-wallen-speaks-out-n-word-controversy\">according<\/a> to Fox News.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis week I heard firsthand some personal stories from Black people that honestly shook me,\u201d Wallen explained. \u201cAnd I know what I\u2019m going through this week doesn\u2019t even compare to some of the trials I about from them.
