Drake is facing backlash on social media for his decision to feature Morgan Wallen in the music video for his song, “You Broke My Heart,” off of his For All the Dogs: Scary Hours Edition album. Wallen has been a controversial figure since being caught using a racial slur in 2021. In a video published by TMZ from the time, he hurled the n-word, amongst other obscenities, during a drunken return home after a night out in Nashville.
To open the six-minute video, Drake and Wallen discuss a recent breakup over dinner. "I didn't like her. I think she might have been the wrong girl anyway," Wallen says. Drake concludes: "God bless her. Let's see what else is out there; that's what we need to do.

Wallen addressed his use of the slur during an interview with Billboard, earlier this month. “I’ve never made an excuse,” he told the outlet. “I never will make an excuse. I’ve talked to a lot of people, heard stories [about] things that I would have never thought about because I wasn’t the one going through it. And I think, for me, in my heart I was never that guy that people were portraying me to be, so there was a little bit of like, ‘Damn, I’m kind of actually mad about this a little bit because I know I shouldn’t have said this, but I’m really not that guy.’ I put myself in just such a sh*t spot, you know? Like, ‘You really messed up here, guy.’ If I was that guy, then I wouldn’t have cared. I wouldn’t have apologized. I wouldn’t have done any of that if I really was that guy that people were saying about me” Be on the lookout for further updates on Drake on HotNewHipHop.
