Darius Rucker Calls for Forgiveness of Morgan Wallen After Racial Slur Incident

The country music star believes Wallen has made significant strides in bettering himself but remains unrecognized by major awards.

Rucker stated on the Rolling Stone Music Now podcast that Wallen has become a better person since the 2021 incident.
Wallen faced backlash, including suspension from his record label and removal from radio playlists, after using a racial slur on video.
Despite commercial success, Wallen has not been fully embraced by the country music industry, according to Rucker.
Wallen has apologized and taken steps to improve, including donating to Black-affiliated groups and attending rehab.
Recent controversies, including an arrest in April, continue to complicate Wallen's public rehabilitation.
