Morgan Wallen has been one of the fastest-rising stars in the country music world for years now. Despite some controversy along the way, the “Last Night” singer, 30, has climbed the charts and been a crossover success. His albums Dangerous: The Double Album and One Thing at a Time both landed at the top of the Billboard charts, and his single “Last Night” hit number one on the Hot 100 chart.
While Morgan is primarily a country singer, he’s collaborated with quite a few rappers. He has released several songs, collaborating with Lil Durk , Drake , and, this year, Post Malone on their track “I Had Some Help,” which is nominated at the 2024 Country Music Awards.
