Fans of country singer Morgan Wallen are protesting his industry blacklisting ahead of the annual CMT Music Awards by putting up billboards across Nashville demanding an end to his punishment.
“The fans are speaking. Enough is enough,” the billboards read.
Morgan Wallen became an outcast to much of the country music industry after he was heard using the n-word in leaked audio in February. The CMT Awards, which take place next week in Nashville, ruled Morgan Wallen ineligible for individual artist categories though he was still technically eligible in group categories, like music video or album of the year.
