Chris Young just released a new album on October 17th (who knew?), and yep, it sounds just like the last few snoozefests, full of pop songs being pushed to the country market that probably won\u2019t even sell or chart well. What a waste of talent. How bad has it gotten for Chris Young? Even Morgan Wallen doesn\u2019t want to listen to that $hit, and that\u2019s saying something. <\/p>
It can be very revealing of someone\u2019s true opinions when you hear what they say when they think nobody is listening. Morgan Wallen got in a lot of trouble previously for being caught on someone\u2019s Ring doorbell camera saying a naughty word. In this instance, it\u2019s audio from bodycam footage when Wallen was being arrested from the notorious chair-throwing incident on April 7th, 2024 that has folks in a tizzy. <\/p>
Wallen was charged with three felony counts for hurling a metal chair off the roof of Eric Church\u2019s Lower Broadway bar in Nashville, Chief\u2019s. The chair landed very near two Metro Nashville police officers, and if it had hit someone, would have probably caused serious injury. Wallen later plead guilty to two misdemeanor counts of reckless endangerment, and was sentenced to seven days in a DUI education center, as well as two years of probation. <\/p>
Segments of the bodycam footage from the arrest have been trickling out over the last few weeks, and the most recent dump has raised the cackles of Chris Young fans. While in the back of the patrol car headed to the pokey, Morgan Wallen can be heard saying to the officers, \u201cPlease do not play Chris Young on this motherfu**er,\u201d<\/em> and later, \u201cOh hell no, he\u2019s terrible.\u201d <\/em> In recently surfaced bodycam video from Morgan Wallen\u2019s 2024 arrest, the Wallen can be heard talking with the responding officer in the back of the patrol car. <\/p> At one point, Wallen comments on Chris Young, telling the officer, \u201che\u2019s terrible.\u201d pic.twitter.com\/DG2zKECHD8<\/a><\/p>\u2014 Country Central (@CountryCentral) October 27, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote> \n\n\n\n Not to give a ringing endorsement to anything Morgan Wallen says, but having to listen to Chris Young\u2019s music handcuffed in the back of a squad car just might be in violation of the provisions in the Bill of Rights against cruel and unusual punishment. <\/p> Along with some other revelations from Wallen on the bodycam footage\u2014including that Wallen initially tried to claim he didn\u2019t even throw the chair\u2014the other notable thing is how chummy the officers were with Wallen. It\u2019s a stark contrast from how a lot of other folks would have been treated in a similar scenario. <\/p> That\u2019s not how officers in Nashville acted with Chris Young just a few months before the Morgan Wallen chair incident. During a compliance check by Tennessee Alcoholic Beverage Commission officers at the Tin Roof in Nashville where Young was drinking, the singer started to ask the compliance officers questions, and then proceeded to follow them around the bar as they checked the IDs of other patrons. <\/p> When Chris Young confronted the officers, one of them pushed him, resulting in Young tumbling to the ground, and the officers arresting him for disorderly conduct, assaulting an officer, and resisting arrest. When video came out of the incident, it immediately exonerated Chris Young<\/a><\/strong> of any wrongdoing, and the charges were completely dropped. Young was standing up for the other bar patrons who the compliance officers were being aggressive with. <\/p> Overall, Chris Young seems like a good, upstanding guy\u2014much more than Morgan Wallen. <\/p> Maybe Wallen saying Chris Young\u2019s music sucks is the pot calling the kettle black. But when even Morgan Wallen is going off on your music like The Dude in The Big Lebowski <\/em>did The Eagles, maybe it\u2019s time to re-evaluate your career trajectory.
