Morgan Wallen continues to get backlash for his racial slur over the weekend. CMT has decided to not play Wallen's videos, and now his record label has announced that they have suspended him indefinitely.

Big Loud records posted to Instagram just moments ago (2/2), "In the wake of recent events, Big Loud Records has made a decision to suspend Morgan Wallen's recording contract indefinitely. Republic Records fully supports Big Loud's decision and agrees such behavior will not be tolerated."

CMT also posted to Twitter, "After learning of Morgan Wallen’s racial slur late last night, we are in the process of removing his appearances from all our platforms. We do not tolerate or condone words and actions that are in direct opposition to our core values that celebrate diversity, equity & inclusion."
