Country comeback. Morgan Wallen is opening up about how being a father helped him “grow” in the wake of his N-word scandal.The “Whiskey Glasses” crooner, 28, reflected on his year of ups and downs while attending the 2022 Billboard Music Awards on Sunday, May 15. “I think mostly I can attribute it to being a dad,” he told Entertainment Tonight on the red carpet in Las Vegas, shouting out his son, Indigo, for inspiring him to rebuild his image. “Just seeing that I have another life that I’m responsible for kind of put things into perspective for me, so, I just didn’t really have a choice.”Wallen welcomed his baby boy in July 2020 with ex KT Smith.

The following February, he raised eyebrows after TMZ shared footage of him using a racial slur. Wallen apologized at the time, going on to address the controversy in depth during a July 2021 Good Morning America interview.“I was around some of my friends and we say dumb stuff together.

In our minds, it’s playful. It sounds ignorant but that’s where it came from,” he said, acknowledging that it was not the first time he had used the insult. “I didn’t mean it in any derogatory manner at all.

I think I was just ignorant about it. I don’t think I sat down and was like, ‘Hey, is this right or is this wrong?'”The “Wasted on You” artist noted that he got in contact with a number of organizations after the video made headlines in order to help him learn more about the history of racial injustice in the United States.
