Darius Rucker thinks Morgan Wallen should be forgiven, Quavo & Lana Del Rey get steamy in the release of their newest collaboration and music video, “Tough,” and more!
Tetris Kelly:
Darius Rucker thinks it’s time to forgive Morgan. Shaboozey aims for the top spot on the Hot 100 and Quavo & Lana get “Tough” and sexy. Here’s three things to know in country today.
Darius Rucker told Rolling Stone’s Music Now podcast that he thinks Morgan Wallen should be forgiven for being caught using the N word multiple times back in 2021.
Darius Rucker:
Do I think Morgan’s become a better person since that? I know Morgan Wallen since all that happened? You know, Morgan tried to really better himself and become a better person and see the world in a much better, better way.
Tetris Kelly:
Darius pointed out how Morgan didn’t get nominated for Entertainer of the Year at the CMA’s or the ACM’s, but he has broken chart records on the Hot 100 and Billboard 200 and currently holds the top spot on the Hot 100, so listeners seem to have forgiven him. Speaking of the Hot 100 Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” sits at No. 2. But could he surpass Morgan and Post Malone next week? Thanks to a huge performance where he brought out J-KWON at the BET Awards and an increase in radio play, he’s got better odds. We’ll find out for sure on Monday. Also entering the country space is Quavo. His new song with Lana Del Rey, “Tough,” not only brings the backroad vibes, they get pretty sensual in the video, too. Which country track are you bumping?
