Morgan Wallen speaks out to address using a racial slur in a video that was leaked in February and the fallout that ensued.
Wallen issued his first apology shortly after the video was released.
The country singer claimed he also spoke to record executive Kevin Liles, Eric Hutcherson, executive vice president and chief people and inclusion officer at Universal Music Group and gospel singer BeBe Winans. "I don't know how to put myself in their shoes because I'm not" he began,"But I do understand, especially when I say I'm using it playfully or whatever, ignorantly, I understand that that must sound, you know, like, 'He doesn't -- he doesn't understand.'"
During his"GMA" interview, the singer revealed he checked himself into a rehab facility following the scandal. His second studio album,"Dangerous: The Double Album," spent 10 consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart and is still No. 1 on Billboard's top country albums chart after 24 weeks in the spot. His album sales also increased dramatically in the days after the footage of the racial slur was released.
