Morgan Wallen BioSnap a weekly updated Biography. Morgan Wallen has spent the past few days making headlines across the music world and social media, not just for his continuing streak of chart domination but also for freshly released bodycam footage from his 2024 arrest, which is circulating widely online. The footage, which shows Wallen joking and bantering with police after he threw a chair off the rooftop of Chief’s bar in Nashville, features him openly discussing his music tastes. When a Nashville officer lists Zach Bryan among top country singers, Wallen responds, “I don’t know Zach Bryan that well... I don’t listen to him,” and later, when Chris Young is mentioned, Wallen insists, “Please do not play Chris Young... Oh hell no, he’s terrible,” before joking to play HARDY or Ernest instead, which has only fueled fan speculation over potential feuds or collaborations. This lighthearted but candid exchange reveals Wallen’s current feelings about some of his peers and offers fans a window into his likes and dislikes. Additionally, Wallen pokes fun at one of his security guards in the footage, revealing the man previously worked as Secret Service for President Obama, quipping “Unfortunately,” and jokes about San Francisco’s infamous sidewalk messes, further showing his trademark irreverence.

He celebrated by dropping the video for his song “20 Cigarettes,” directed by Justin Clough, illustrating a story of heartbreak and renewal over the course of a night, emphasizing Wallen’s narrative skills.
