Morgan Wallen, the wild card of the music scene, has decided to launch a dazzling six-story bar and venue in Nashville.
However, his inner circle is concerned that his fondness for partying might lead him to squander all his earnings - and weaken his credibility as an artist.
Unlike other country music icons that have opened establishments in Nashville, Tennessee, rumor has it that Morgan aspires to make his new venue a long-term commitment. It is reported he hopes to become an established part of the area as a successful entrepreneur.
According to a source who spoke with the National Enquirer, the "Wasted On You" hitmaker has declared his commitment to staying authentic.
While some significant country performers, such as Luke Bryan and Jason Aldean, have ventured into owning bars in Nashville but rarely spend time there, Morgan is reportedly eager to meet and mingle with customers at his bar establishment personally.
Despite Morgan's ambitions to be a headline act at his new club, those close to him have expressed concerns that his involvement in such an alcohol-fueled environment could be damaging for him.
His friends fear he won't be able to monitor and control himself when surrounded by so many temptations.
In 2021, an outcry was sparked when a video surfaced of the celebrated singer using a racial slur towards his white friends after drinking heavily.
After being confronted over this incident, he acknowledged that uttering such words was "ignorant" and "wrong," claiming that an alcohol-felled 72-hour bender had caused it.
The unfortunate episode caused suspension from his record label for Morgan Wallen, who had to spend 30 days in rehab due to drinking habits.

The "Whiskey Glasses" singer has claimed that he's curbed his intake of alcohol. However, the insider source suggested something else.
When it comes to Morgan, the source says he will feel pressured to accept it should his fans buy him a drink. They claimed that despite nearly being canceled, Wallen was able to have his career revitalized - but having his bar could prove dangerous. It's like opening Pandora's Box.
Amid a storm of controversy in 2021, there were fears Morgan Wallen's career would be cut short.
However, two years later, in 2023, Morgan again courted criticism when he pulled the plug on an already sold-out show in Oxford, Mississippi. Fans had descended upon the venue excitedly expecting his performance, only to have their excitement dashed at the last minute.
