    Bebe Winans Tasked With Schooling Country Singer

    BMI Calls on Bebe Winans to “School” Country Singer Morgan Wallen 

    Recently, an alarming video leaked of Morgan Wallen, a famous country singer, using the N-word. BMI, a music rights management group, has asked gospel singer Bebe Winans to step in and ‘educate’ the country singer.

    Earlier this week, a video leaked of Wallen hurling the N-word and other vulgar words at friends as he walked into his home. In the video, the singer says: “Take care of this “p—–ass mother—–,” and then says, “Take care of this p——ass n——.” 

    Obviously, Wallen quickly responded to the leaked video. 

    “There are no excuses to use this type of language, ever,” and promising to “do better.” Since then, music publisher BMI has released a statement on how they plan to move forward with Wallen. 

    BMI Follows Up By Condemning Wallen’s Comments

    BMI released a statement expressing their condemnation of the recent use of a hateful and offensive racial slur by Morgan Wallen. They mentioned that, despite its unacceptability, BMI is obliged to accept all songwriters who wish to join their organization, as per the consent decree.

    While Morgan Wallen will continue to be a BMI member, they elaborate on the plan to help “educate” the singer. BMI requested BeBe Winans, their advisor and a gospel music star, to directly communicate with Morgan. The purpose is to make him understand the seriousness and consequences of his words. They hope that BeBe’s outreach will help Morgan become a more inclusive and empathetic individual.

    The country singer is definitely suffering the consequences of his actions. Since the leaked video, Wallen is suspended indefinitely from his label, Big Loud. In addition, his playlists were removed from major playlists on Apple Music and Spotify.

    Mickey Guyton Responds

    Black country singer Mickey Guyton is openly critical of the country music’s persistent racism. She shared whether or not she thinks the industry reaction to Wallen’s comments apart of ‘cancel culture.’

    Guyton elaborated in a tweet:

    “Finally, I don’t believe in cancel culture. Seeing anyone’s downfall is truly sad. People should have the opportunity to change. Morgan must face the consequences of his words, but completely discarding someone is harmful to their mental well-being.”

    Who knows if Bebe Winans is open to the gesture. Nonetheless, Black people in any walk of life should not have to right whites’ wrongs, famous or not.
