Morgan Wallen said in an interview he was 'not sure' why he used a racial slur in a video that got leaked.

Asked about his use of the racial slur, Wallen, who is white, claimed that he didn't use it"frequently" in the past, but that when he did, it was only around a"certain" group of his friends. He did not elaborate.As for the leaked clip with the slur and other offensive language, Wallen said he didn't"mean it in any derogatory manner at all ...

Shortly after the offending clip's release earlier this year, Wallen posted a five-minute apology video in which he said he'd"let so many people down." He vowed to take some time to work on himself after hearing some firsthand"personal stories from Black people that honestly shook me."The singer told Strahan that one of the first organizations he spoke to was the Black Music Action Coalition , which works to address racism in the music industry.

In the aftermath of the video leak, Wallen said it depicted him in"hour 72" of a three-day bender, and that he promised to work on his sobriety going forward. He told Strahan that he later checked into a rehab facility in San Diego and spent 30 days to figure out if he had an alcohol issue or -- as he phrased it --"a deeper issue."

"I've heard some stories in the initial conversations that I had after that -- just how some people are, you know, treated even still today, and I'm just, like, 'I haven't seen that with my eyes ... that pain or that insignificant feeling or whatever it is that it makes you feel,'" Wallen said.
