NASHVILLE, TN—Stating that he was “horrified and deeply ashamed,” country singer Morgan Wallen issued an apology Thursday after a genealogy report revealed his family had never owned slaves. “Obviously, I’m not my ancestors, but nonetheless it’s just a terrible thing to learn,” said the chart-topping artist, who described how his “jaw dropped to the floor” as he flipped through page after page of historical records, aghast to find not a single human being listed among his ancestors’ property deeds. “I couldn’t believe my eyes, honestly. It makes me feel sick to my stomach knowing we never owned people. I guess I shouldn’t be too surprised, considering my great-great-great-grandparents were from the North. Still, it hurts, and I want my fans to know that even with this information coming to light, I’m still the same Morgan Wallen they know and love. I’ll always be me.” Wallen went on to announce he was making a $250,000 donation to the United Daughters of the Confederacy.
