Country music sensation Morgan Wallen found himself in legal trouble once again after being arrested for reckless endangerment in Nashville. The 30-year-old singer, known for his partying lifestyle, allegedly threw a chair from the rooftop of Chief’s, a bar and restaurant owned by fellow country star Eric Church. The chair landed dangerously close to Nashville police officers, leading to Wallen’s arrest.
This is not the first time Wallen has faced legal issues on Nashville’s Lower Broadway strip. In 2020, he was charged with public intoxication and disorderly conduct after being kicked out of Kid Rock’s Big Ass Honky Tonk Rock N’ Roll steakhouse. Wallen’s behavior has earned him a reputation as a troublemaker on the popular party strip.
Despite his controversial actions, Wallen’s music career has thrived. His debut album, “If I Know Me,” achieved crossover success, and his subsequent albums, “Dangerous: The Double Album” and “One Thing a Time,” both debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard charts. However, his use of a racial slur led to disqualification from several awards shows.
Wallen’s latest arrest raises questions about his future plans to open his own bar, This Bar and Tennessee Kitchen, on Lower Broadway. The establishment, named after one of his songs, is set to open this summer. However, a felony conviction could potentially disqualify him from obtaining a liquor license, although he could still receive royalties through a celebrity-branded honky tonk deal.
The singer’s personal life has also been under scrutiny. Wallen has been linked to multiple women, and his relationships have been marred by allegations of infidelity. His ex-fiancée, KT Smith, recently got married to someone else, which some speculate may have contributed to Wallen’s erratic behavior.
While Wallen’s fan base remains loyal, industry experts suggest that he needs to seek help if he wants to establish a lasting legacy as an artist. The recent incident has once again put the spotlight on his troubled behavior, and it remains to be seen how it will impact his career moving forward.
