Billboard Music Awards bans Morgan Wallen for misconduct

The prestigious Billboard Music Awards (BMA) announced that American pop star Morgan Wallen will not appear on the broadcast, as his “conduct does not align with production’s values”.


The country star’s use of a racial slur has got him banned from appearing at one of the music’s biggest awards shows. According to reports, in a statement released by Dick Clark Productions and MRC, after revealing selected nominees for the 2021 BMA, the production announced that Wallen who has been nominated in six categories, as determined by Billboard chart placements and not a voting committee will not participate “in any capacity,” meaning “performing, presenting, and accepting,” of the accolade he would win during the May 23 show.
