Justin Bieber has issued an apology after learning that country singer Morgan Wallen is racist.
A bit about Wallen, per Complex:
Wallen came under fire earlier this year after TMZ published a video in which he used the racial slur. The 28-year-old singer was reportedly returning to his Tennessee home following a night of partying, and was heard shouting, “Hey, take care of this “pussy ass motherf*cker. Take care of this pussy ass n***a.”
Wallen was suspended by his label for this reason and dropped from radio stations across the U.S. He later apologised and told his fans to stop defending him. “I was wrong. It’s on me to take ownership for this. And I fully accept any penalties I’m facing …” he said in an Instagram video,, per Complex. “Since that video was taken, I’ve been sober for nine days. It’s not all that long of time, but it’s enough to know the man in that video is not the man that I’m trying to be.”
Now, he is back in the news again after Bieber took to Instagram to praise Wallen’s 2021 project Dangerous, writing: “I love this album.”
As expected, folks hopped into his comment section to tell him that Wallen had used the n-word. “I’m so upset that Justin is support Morgan music,” one user wrote. “Everything was going well and he ruined it with that.”
Bieber quickly responded: “honestly I had no idea he was saying those racist things, I deleted it, I’m sorry.”
Bieber went on to delete the Instagram story, and elaborated that he was unaware of Wallen’s history in new Story.
