Did Walmart leak Morgan Wallen's album?
Morgan Wallen is all set to release a 30-song double album on January 8, 2021. However, ahead of the album's release, many fans have already gotten a head start to listening to Wallen’s new songs without having to purchase the album. Morgan Wallen took to his social media recently to reveal that the store reportedly has leaked Dangerous: The Double Album. In his Instagram video addressing the album leak, Wallen said, “It’s been brought to my attention that some of my music, well my album, has leaked, at some Walmarts around the country”.“Man, I’ve been working on this album for three years. I’ll be damned if I’mma let Walmart do the leaking like that.” At the moment, Wallen’s album Dangerous is only available for preorder on Walmart’s website, but it’s unclear if the album is available in stores.

Wallen also went ahead and promised his fans, “I’m gonna start doing the leaking of the songs myself”. He’s since posted links to the songs Warning, Dangerous, and Rednecks, Red Letters, Red Dirt on his Instagram Story. Despite sharing part of a name, Wallen doesn’t have much allegiance toward Walmart. He said in his Instagram story, “It’s kind of messed up, but I don’t shop at Walmart anyway”. He then said, “I also gave Target two extra songs. So if you’re going to buy my album physically, go to Target, baby.” He also tagged Target as the location when he posted the video to Instagram.

Morgan Wallen’s live SNL performance got cancelled
Morgan Wallen's leaked music is not the first controversy to hit Wallen on this album cycle. In October, a report surfaced on Vulture detailing that Wallen’s Saturday Night Live performance was cancelled due to him partying without a mask during the COVID-19 pandemic. He later appeared on SNL in December 2020. But, like SNL, the leak doesn’t look likely to throw Wallen off course, Dangerous has already become the most pre-saved album in Apple Music history last fall.
