“Rolling Stone” has been looking into<\/a> Morgan Wallen’s claim on “GMA” that he donated $500,000 to black music organizations.<\/p>\n

They started by reaching out to his people and were promised details, but those never arrived.<\/p>\n

So they went digging.<\/p>\n

They talked to the Black Music Action Coalition [BMAC], which is the organization Morgan name-checked on “GMA”. They did receive $165,000 in April, but called the $500,000 number “exceptionally misleading.”<\/p>\n

Then “Rolling Stone” reached out to “56 other state, regional, and national Black-led or Black-founded charities”, and none of them got money from Morgan. If he did donate anything to them, it was anonymously.<\/p>\n

This all came out in a “Rolling Stone” article, and that got the attention of Morgan’s record label, Big Loud. The CEO said THEY donated the $500,000, of which “$100,000 was earmarked and promised for further donations by year-end locally.”<\/p>\n

He also claimed the record label’s donations included “$300,000 to BMAC and Other Black Leaders’ organizations of choice.” But when BMAC was asked about that, they said they only received the previously confirmed $165,000.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"“Rolling Stone” has been looking into Morgan Wallen’s claim on “GMA” that he donated $500,000 to black music organizations.","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":16364,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"featured_img_display":"Yes","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[2710,171,2555],"class_list":["post-16363","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-country-music-news","tag-big-loud","tag-morgan-wallen","tag-rolling-stone"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-11 10:05:27","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"react_link":"https:\/\/country959.com\/blogs\/country-music-news\/2021\/09\/has-morgan-wallen-followed-up-on-his-promises\/","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16363","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16363"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16363\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16364"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16363"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16363"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16363"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
