Morgan Wallen Revisited The Maskless Party That Got Him Removed From ‘SNL’ Earlier This Year

The country singer was dropped as the musical guest in October over violating COVID-19 protocols and thanked the show for a second chance. …

Morgan Wallen was set to make his debut on Saturday Night Live back in October, but a careless decision from the country singer caused him to lose that slot because he violated NBC’s coronavirus protocols. A news report from Tuscaloosa, AL showed Wallen at a maskless party in Alabama and videos on Instagram and TikTok found the singer drinking and making out with maskless partygoers after a Crimson Tide football game at Bryant-Denny Stadium.

It resulted in him getting dropped and replaced by Jack White for the October 10 episode. Less than two months later, Wallen made his return to the SNL stage, but not without addressing the party in a skit.

Joined by Jason Bateman and Bowen Yang, Morgan Wallen takes viewers back to the October “party.” The singer is first met by Bateman, who arrived via time machine and plays Wallen from one month in the future. A few minutes later, Yang steps out of the time machine and announces that he is also Wallen, but from two months in the future. Both of the future Wallens warn the country singer of the repercussions he should expect as a result of his attendance at the party, but Bateman and Yang end up ignoring their own warnings and quickly seek out some drinks to enjoy the rest of the night. Luckily, present-day Wallen sees the wrong in his actions and opts to turn the situation into a song of reconciliation.

“It’s hard to focus on the future/When the present’s full of girls/But if all you do is kiss all day, you’ll miss out on the world,” he sings. “So let’s all raise a glass up/And I thank you in advance/For giving this poor Southern boy a second yankee chance.”

In addition to the skit, Wallen also performed “7 Summers” and “Still Goin Down,” which will both appear on his upcoming 2021 album, Dangerous: The Double Album.

Footage shared by No Jumper shows a person who appears to be Lefty Gunplay being handcuffed by the LAPD.

Kanye West Dismisses Demna’s Gucci Move, ‘I Don’t Care Anymore’

HonkMagazine

Kanye West has always been known for speaking his mind, and his latest take on Demna Gvasalia becoming Gucci’s artistic director is a perfect example. When the news came out, many people wondered how Kanye would react, especially since he has a complicated history with Demna. His response was blunt, in an Instagram Story, he simply wrote, “Shit boring.” To clarify his feelings, Kanye shared a screenshot of a private message discussing Demna’s new role, where he stated, “I don’t care about Demna or Gucci anymore.”

This marked a significant moment, showing that Kanye is stepping away from the luxury fashion world that he was once a huge part of. Kanye and Demna have a history that goes back to 2016, when Demna helped design Kanye’s Yeezy clothing line. They collaborated on various projects, merging the worlds of music and high fashion. However, things took a turn in 2022 when Kanye made controversial comments that led to Balenciaga, a brand linked to Demna, cutting ties with him. Since then, Kanye has distanced himself from the elite fashion scene, choosing to carve out his own unique path. His dismissive reaction to Demna’s new position at Gucci highlights this change.

Once deeply involved in shaping the future of luxury fashion, Kanye now seems uninterested in the industry he once dominated. For his fans, this reaction might not come as a shock. Kanye has a history of moving on from situations, brands, and people when he feels they no longer align with his vision. It’s still uncertain if this indicates a larger trend away from high end designer brands or just a personal issue with Demna. Kanye is ready to break the traditional rules of fashion and wants everyone to notice.
