Following the release of a video in which he can be seen and heard using the n-word, country star Morgan Wallen apologized on Tuesday.
“I’m embarrassed and sorry. I used an unacceptable and inappropriate racial slur that I wish I could take back. There are no excuses to use this type of language, ever,” Wallen said in a statement provided to TMZ, which first published the video. “I want to sincerely apologize for using the word. I promise to do better.”
The video was taken Sunday morning by one of Wallen’s neighbors. The singer and several friends had apparently been out in Nashville partying and arrived at his house around midnight.
