The biggest up & coming star in country music is finished in Nashville this morning, after a leaked video showed him using the N-word. Wallen recently stirred controversy when a video leaked of him breaking COVID protocols before his SNL performance.

There is a video of him leaving the next day and he lives in a shitty looking two story duplex and drives a jacked Ford truck. He just got popular last year and hasn’t had a chance to tour yet and that’s where the money is nowadays. He is also white trash to the Max and probably spent it all on dumb shit like jet skis. He’s probably got enough money to live for 6-12 months then it’s back to Walmart he goes.

I watched the video, and I was LOL at how his Mcmansion dwarfed the modest homes on either side of it. Somebody bought a tiny plot in the middle of a regular neighborhood and built a huge house on it. If he's going to party all night every night while living that closely to other people, then it's no wonder his neighbors are pissed.

Is country music finally becoming more progressive?
One thing that turns a lot of people off about modern Nashville is the Republican alignment which includes "old-fashion Christian values" (despite objectifying women and promoting partying and drinking but just can't having any homosexuals nor have any minorities around), blind nationalism, Confederate sympathizing and hatred of urban (despite many big cities being in the South) and North (despite many country fans being in the Northern US). Also the lack of talent and focus on looks. Old school country could not have been more different which is why people hesitate to call Johnny Cash country music.
Anyway hip-hop needs to follow the lead and start expelling homophobes, misogynists and colorists.

I love how Camila Cabello, Cardi B and J. Lo all get a pass for their racism and using the N-word just because they have some tiny bit of black blood and are willing to suck black dick (Well in J. Ho and Cardi B's case). Americans are ignorant about Caribbean culture and it's color-based hierarchy and reverse one-drop rule.

Years ago, I saw a play in which one white character referred to his white friend as "my nigga." I understood that this was a lampoon of very white people using words and phrases popularized by thug rap culture, but I think that play would be closed down today, or at least protested, if they tried to keep that line in. The reality is that, yes, black people are free to use the "n" word in a non-pejorative way amongst themselves, but this Wallen guy made the huge mistake of thinking he was also allowed to use it in a non-pejorative way in referring to another white person. (At least, I think that's what he was doing.)

Never heard of him before this incident, but the guy is apparently a very big deal.
He currently has 7 songs on the Billboard Hot 100. Not talking about the country chart, the actual Hot 100 pop chart. That's a LOT for a country singer. Apparently he was in the midst of crossing over in a big, big way.
I'm sure lots of his hillbilly, redneck fans are perfectly fine with the "n" word, and frequently use it themselves. Unfortunately for him, the huge media conglomerates that rule the music industry aren't fine with it. And without their support, he's over.
