The Billboard Music Awards telecast positioned itself this year as the official awards show of forgiveness for so-called “canceled” stars, with performance slots offered to both Morgan …
and Travis Scott. In the case of Wallen, that also extended to a major on-air award, as Wallen was called to the BBMAs’ podium Sunday night to accept a trophy for top country artist.
The performance of “Don’t Think Jesus” led into the rather more secular “Wasted on You,” lasting six and a half minutes altogether. Diddy said that Wallen’s racial slur needed to be taken in context, because he was using it in a friendly situation. “Travis went through a tragedy; Morgan [used the N-word] while talking to his boy,” Diddy said. “People make mistakes. Now we’re moving on with love and respect for everybody that was hurt or affected. It’s time to forgive.”
