Morgan Wallen has made the surprising decision not to submit his latest country album, “I’m The Problem,” for Grammy Awards consideration, according to recent reports. While his representatives have not shared specific reasons behind this choice, it adds another chapter to Wallen’s already eventful career.
Wallen, who gained fame with his 2018 debut album “If I Know Me,” has seen significant success over the years. He recently received his first Grammy nominations in 2025 for his collaboration with Post Malone on the song “I Had Some Help.” His latest project, “I’m The Problem,” debuted at number one on the charts, further establishing him as a leading figure in country music. The 37-track album enjoyed a strong performance on Billboard, with 36 tracks making it into the Hot 100 list.
Earlier this year, Wallen kicked off a 19-date North American stadium tour featuring popular artists like Brooks & Dunn and Thomas Rhett. Despite his thriving career, Wallen has also faced serious controversies. In early 2021, a video emerged showing him using a racial slur, which triggered backlash from both fans and industry peers. As a result, Wallen was barred from participating in several major award ceremonies, including the Academy of Country Music Awards and the American Music Awards.
Despite the ups and downs, Wallen continues to captivate audiences with his music and live performances. His decision not to pursue Grammy recognition this year leaves many fans and fellow artists curious about his future intentions.
