    Controversy

    Morgan Wallen excluded following usage of racist slur

    Country singer Morgan Wallen, despite being nominated six times, will not be permitted to attend the BBMAs.

    That's because, Wallen was recently heard saying the N-word, which caused a furor on social media.

    Dick Clark Productions, BBMAs producer, released a statement, saying, "As his recent conduct doesn't align with our core values, we will not be including him on the show in any capacity."
