The Morgan Wallen saga continues and this time it has to do with the Grand Ole Opry. Morgan Wallen has been in some hot water for about a year now after a video surfaced of him using a racial slur in a video 2021. He is currently banned from award shows and up until now banned from the Grand Ole Opry. He was shown on stage with an up and coming artist, Ernest who actually co-wrote Wallen’s new single “More Than My Hometown”. They were on stage performing Ernest’s new single “Flower Shops” which Wallen duets on.

A lot of country music artists and names are upset about this including Jason Isbell who said “”Last night [Opry] you had a choice — either upset one guy and his ‘team,’ or break the hearts of a legion of aspiring Black country artists. You chose wrong and I’m real sad for a lot of my friends today. Not surprised though. Just sad.”
What do you think of this? Is the Grand Ole Opry in hot water now because of this?
