Country Singer Morgan Wallen, Banned From Billboard Awards, Still Wins 3 Of Them
HuffPost
Wallen captured three prominent categories in the music awards, but wasn't there to receive them after he was caught on video yelling a racist slur.
For a guy who was persona non grata at Sunday’s Billboard Music Awards, Morgan Wallen sure won big. The country singer, banned from appearing at the ceremony after he was caught yelling a racist slur in a video obtained by TMZ back in February, won Top Country Artist, Top Country Male Artist and Top Country Album for “Dangerous: The Double Album.” He was nominated for six awards. The show’s producers emphasized in their statement announcing Wallen’s awards (with an asterisk) before the broadcast that “finalists are determined by performance on the Billboard Charts, and are not chosen by a voting committee or membership organization.”More Related News
