The "I'm The Problem" singer recently sat down with Theo Von on his This Past Week w/ Theo Von podcast, which he's been making loads of headlines for. He touched on his nicotine addiction and explained his new found love for motorcycling.
There, he also made what should be a crazy statement. The country singer doesn't really listen to country music.
In a section where the pair were complimenting other singers and songwriters, Theo Von brought up Zach Top.
"Zach Top's voice is really amazing," Theo Von firmly praised.
"I don't listen to country music a whole lot," Morgan Wallen immediately responded. "I think I've always kinda been that way." So I suppose he just enjoys singing and writing country songs, but prefers not to listen to others' music.
I suppose that makes some kinda sense.
He did then go on to compliment the rising singer, "I know who Zach Top is. And I do agree, he's very solid."
Country Fans Aren't Shocked Morgan Wallen Doesn't Listen To Country Music
Comment sections online have lit up with country fans sharing their thoughts over Morgan Wallen not listening to country music.
"Well this explains a lot lol," joked one. Not many consider Morgan Wallen to be country anyway. So hearing this is all the validation they need.
"Zach Top is real country music," another wrote. The Washington native has been heralded as the chosen one who's bringing 90s country back. And for good reason.
"Is Morgan Wallen a poser? He doesn't like country music but he sings country music? He just lost a lot of fans," questioned another. Considering how popular his music is, I don't reckon this admittance will change a damn thing. People like his music for what it is, not because of what other music the artist does or doesn't listen to.
"Yeah, so Morgan is actually threatened by Zach... seeing as he actually makes country music," one more speculated.
As you can see, people aren't so shocked with this. I must admit, I am a little, but then again I don't really listen to his music, so I'm not exactly an authority.
