Morgan Wallen<\/strong><\/a> is making sure he\u2019s not the problem! The namesake single from Morgan\u2019s new album, I\u2019m the Problem<\/em>, is topping the country charts. But fans won\u2019t find the \u201cWhiskey Glasses\u201d singer celebrating his success at a bar.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s definitely the best thing for me \u2026. I ain\u2019t been in a bar since the last time I was in a bar that everybody knows about,\u201d Morgan recently told host Theo Von<\/strong> on his \u201cThis Past Weekend\u201d podcast in April 2025. \u201cThat\u2019s the last time I was in a bar.\u201d<\/p>\n That last time was in April 2024, at Chief\u2019s, where Morgan was arrested and charged with reckless endangerment after throwing a chair six stories off the Nashville building\u2019s roof<\/a>. He pleaded guilty and received two years\u2019 probation as well as seven days in a DUI education center.<\/p>\n Alas, that wasn\u2019t the first time the star ran into trouble at a pub: In May 2020, Morgan was cuffed for public intoxication outside another Nashville watering hole, Kid Rock<\/strong>\u2019s Big Ass Honky Tonk, though the charges were ultimately dropped. Later that same year, his debut Saturday Night Live<\/em> appearance was canceled after Morgan was recorded breaking pandemic protocols and kissing multiple women outside bars in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. But according to an exclusive Life & Style<\/em> insider, his most recent arrest was a wake-up call \u2013 and he\u2019s trying his best to make sure it\u2019s the last of its kind.<\/p>\n \u201cWhile Morgan has made some bad decisions in the past, he\u2019s spent the last few months working with his head down and spending time with his family,\u201d the insider exclusively tells Life & Style.<\/em> \u201cPals say he\u2019s focusing on being a better man and a good father.\u201d<\/p>\n Indeed, the musician\u2019s 4-year-old son, Indigo (with ex-fianc\u00e9e KT Smith<\/strong>), is the driving force behind his transformation. \u201cMostly I can attribute it to being a dad,\u201d Morgan told ET<\/em>. \u201cSeeing that I have another life that I\u2019m responsible for kind of put things into perspective.\u201d<\/p>\n Many of Morgan\u2019s issues began when he shot to stardom and had trouble adjusting to his newfound fame \u2014 which he admits remains a work in progress. \u201cIt\u2019s still weird and there\u2019s parts of that that I don\u2019t like<\/a>,\u201d he said on Theo Von<\/strong>\u2019s podcast. \u201cThere\u2019s just things that you don\u2019t do anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n He has found new ways to cope with the attention, though. \u201cI\u2019ve taken up hunting,\u201d Morgan continued. \u201cI can go be with my buddies, I\u2019m [in] the middle of nowhere, I can be at ease, I cannot stress out. \u201d<\/p>\n Morgan Wallen.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n The payoff has been huge, and Morgan\u2019s career seemingly couldn\u2019t be hotter. In addition to the new album, he\u2019s starting a concert tour in June and just launched his own publishing company, Wilder Music.<\/p>\n \u201cA lot of people are counting on him,\u201d says the insider, adding the country crooner isn\u2019t about to let them down. \u201cMorgan will stay true to himself and always be a little bit of a bad boy, but he isn\u2019t willing to throw all his hard work away.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\nHow Morgan Wallen Dealt With His Arrest and Legal Issues<\/h2>\n
