Darius Ruckerwas “shocked” afterMorgan Wallenwas caught on tape using the N-word.
“I know Morgan and I like Morgan,” Rucker says on the podcast. “It’s one of those things where you know that all over the country, there’s a lot of people who use that word just flippantly.”
“And even if they say they don’t mean it in a derogatory way, you just don’t use it. You don’t say it,” he adds.
