Morgan Wallen declined to submit his bestselling album I'm the Problem for Grammy consideration, removing it from award eligibility. The album debuted at No. 1 in May and has spent 11 weeks atop the Billboard 200, featuring singles "Love Somebody" and "What I Want." Wallen did not provide a reason for the decision. He has a contentious history with Recording Academy voters after a 2021 incident in which he used a racial slur and a 2024 misdemeanor guilty plea for throwing a chair. Despite ongoing commercial dominance and sold-out stadiums, his records have not regained traction with Grammy voters; his only prior nomination was for a duet with Post Malone.
Next year's Grammys will be yet another ceremony where a blockbuster Morgan Wallen album will not take home any awards. The country music megastar declined to submit his bestselling "I'm the Problem" for Grammy consideration, according to Hits Daily Double and Billboard, who first reported the news. The LP, featuring singles like "Love Somebody" and "What I Want," debuted in May at No. 1 and has spent 11 weeks and counting atop the Billboard 200 album charts.
Wallen did not give a reason for declining to submit the LP. Despite being the biggest contemporary star in a commercially ascendant genre, Wallen has always had a contentious relationship with Grammy voters. A month after the 2021 release of his second studio album, the massive hit "Dangerous: The Double Album," Wallen was filmed using a racial slur and was briefly shunned by the music industry. He later pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor in 2024 after throwing a chair off a rooftop bar in Nashville.
