Morgan Wallen's new album "I'm the Problem" showcases both his personal struggles and immense popularity in the music scene. Despite multiple controversies including using racial slurs and aggressive behavior, Wallen continues to dominate the charts, achieving notable success with numerous Billboard hits. Critics suggest that his appeal lies in his relatability to fans who identify with his flaws. His latest album features 37 tracks and collaborations with other big names, further solidifying his position as a cultural force within country music.
"I think Morgan is very much a cultural lightning rod," Holly Gleason - Nashville editor of Hits magazine - told The Post. "It's the difference between how New York and LA and the flyover [between them] tend to view each other."
Instead of getting canceled after his series of scandals - which began in 2020 with him being arrested after being kicked out of Kid Rock's Nashville bar and partying without a mask at the height of COVID - Wallen has only come back stronger.
Despite all his transgressions - from a video of him using the N-word in 2021 to hurling a chair off a rooftop bar last year - Wallen is still the hottest thing in country music.
Wallen represents a big part of the country that sees themselves in him - flaws, mullet and all.
