Morgan Wallen: He Has a No. 1 Hip-Hop Hit With Lil’ Durk

You couldn't have predicted this a year ago: Morgan Wallen is on top of the R&B/hip hop charts in Billboard this week with his collaboration with Lil' Durk called "Broadway Girls." Now Wallen says that he wants to work with Kendrick Lamar.

Just after Christmas (12/29), Morgan was a guest on internet comedian Druski's Clubhouse chat, "Behind the Vest" and shared who in that genre he wanted to collaborate with. He said, “I do love Moneybagg [Yo]. He’s definitely at the top of the list. But like overall, ever... I’m trying to think of not just in the past little bit. Kendrick Lamar would be pretty cool.”

Hip-hop website XXL reported that Wallen also talked about his love for hip-hop music. He said, “Moneybagg is probably my favorite. And I listened to a lot of Young Dolph—R.I.P. I listened to Drake’s new album. I listen to Kanye [West]. I’ve been listening to a little bit of Gunna. I like him pretty good.”

In February of last year (2021), Morgan was caught on video yelling the N-word. As a result, he was barred from CMA Awards and released from his record label. His label has since put him back on the roster. The CMA barred him from attending the CMA Awards in November, although he was a nominee.
