Morgan Wallen, 28, won three Billboard Music Awards on Sunday amid his ban from the show after he was caught on tape saying a racial slur earlier this year Dick Clark Productions, in announcing Wallen's wins Sunday, tagged the singer's awards with an asterisk and said in a news release that 'finalists are determined by performance on the Billboard Charts, and are not chosen by a voting committee or membership organization.' The country music artist garnered a trio of honors for Dangerous: The Double Album - Top Country Artist, Top Country Male Artist and Top Country Album - out of six nominations In a subsequent apology, Wallen said he was 'embarrassed and sorry' over the exchange, which took place on January 31. Wallen was heard on a recording made by neighbor using the racial slur while chatting to friends In the wake of the incident, the Whiskey Glasses artist faced a number of professional consequences, as the Country Music Association took his material off their platforms, while the Academy of Country Music Awards made his material ineligible for their award show.
