American singer Morgan Wallen, who is known for his songs such as More Than My Hometown, Whiskey Glasses, Still Goin Down, has currently been apologising after using a racial slur. The American country singer was reportedly caught on video using the N-word and another inappropriate language when he came home after a night out with his friends.

In the video obtained by TMZ, Wallen can be seen walking to his place and telling someone to "take care of" this "***** *** ************". He was also heard saying, "Take care of this ***** *** n*****". The video, posted on TMZ Tuesday night and reportedly recorded by Wallen's neighbours, shows him screaming profanity after a night out in Nashville, including the N-word.

Morgan Wallen recently revealed in a statement to ET that he very much embarrassed and went on to apologise for the same. He also said that he used an unacceptable and inappropriate racial slur that he wishes he could take back. He also said that there are no excuses to use this type of language, ever. He wants to sincerely apologise for using the word and promise to do better, added Morgan.
