Darius said on Rolling Stone’s “Music Now” podcast that Morgan still feels unforgiven by the incident … at least when it comes to CMA and ACM nominations.
Darius said… “They can say what they want, but the fact that Morgan Wallen didn’t win Entertainer of the Year and these things are crazy. No one sold more tickets than Morgan.”
