“I didn't feel right to go on the record publicly until I made amends with some people. I reached out to Nashville law enforcement, my family, and the good people at Chief's. I'm not proud of my behavior, and I take responsibility,” Wallen wrote on X's Twitter previously.

Wallen, one of the biggest names in contemporary country, is currently on a stadium tour, including a concert scheduled for Saturday at Foote Hemingway Stadium in Oxford, Mississippi.
