Sources claimed Thursday that country music star Morgan Wallen basically lives at the bars of Broadway, Nashville when he isn’t on tour.
Wallen, 30, was arrested Sunday and charged with three felonies for allegedly throwing a chair off a sixth-floor rooftop bar owned by his friend Eric Church. Nashville insider Jason Steen of ScoopsNashville told the New York Post that Wallen “seems to love getting into trouble on Broadway.”

“That has just been his thing,” Steen told the outlet. “He’s like a college guy. It’s nothing to see Wallen leaving the bars with folks and ending up at the Waffle House at 3 a.m.” Steen said Wallen is “King of Broadway and nobody can stop him.”

But evidently the police did stop him on Sunday. Wallen’s mugshot has gone viral since his arrest, probably for the giant grin he’s wearing in it.

Wallen was previously kicked out of Kid Rock’s Big Ass Honky Tonk Rock n’ Roll steakhouse in 2020 for “kicking glass items” and being a “danger to himself and the public.” The charges are believed to have been expunged. (RELATED: Morgan Wallen’s Empire Expands In Potential Seven-Figure Deal)

In fact, Wallen loves bars so much he’s in the process of opening his own on Broadway. This Bar & Tennessee Kitchen is supposed to open at some point in the coming months or year. It is unclear how his arrest will impact his ability to be financially involved in an establishment that serves alcohol. Either way, we’re sure it won’t be long before Wallen finds himself in This Bar.
