In early 2021, a video surfaced of country star Morgan Wallen<\/a> using the n-word, an act he apologized for, and certainly was not canceled for.<\/p>\n

It was a big controversy for Wallen, whose career was just beginning to take off. But one of his good friends, Jimmy Butler,<\/a> says it’s a non-issue.<\/p>\n

“Wasn\u2019t no controversy for me,” the Miami Heat superstar said in an interview to Rolling Stone<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Butler said he didn’t see the video, but “I didn\u2019t look much into it, and I\u2019m not <\/i>going to look much into it,” adding that he knows the “Last Night” singer’s true intentions.<\/p>\n

“I don\u2019t think he\u2019s a bad human being in any way, shape or form. He is <\/i>a friend of mine, and I don\u2019t know what happened,” Butler continued. “Obviously, it was a mistake, I think he learned from it, I think he knows better, and I don\u2019t know what was said and in what context, but I think he\u2019s an incredible human being who made a mistake.”<\/p>\n

He even tried to perform alongside Wallen when he was in Toronto for a concert on his birthday last month.<\/p>\n

“I just want to sing one line of \u2018\u201998 Braves.\u2019 Maybe I\u2019ll sing a whole verse!” he said.<\/p>\n

Butler himself just helped the Heat get to another NBA Finals appearance<\/a>, where he would blast Wallen’s songs in the locker room. But whenever his playing days come to an end, he wants to join Wallen on the country music scene.<\/p>\n

Butler said he “fell in love” with country music when he was a senior at Marquette. Normally listening to “Lil Wayne and Jay-Z,” he got into the genre, and he now says to have 45 tracks with “real artists and songwriters.”<\/p>\n

“I don\u2019t want to tell anyone who I\u2019ve been writing with because then it\u2019ll ruin the surprise. Now, I\u2019m in the lab writing and producing country music,” Butler said, adding that there is “definitely going to be an album.”<\/p>\n

“That\u2019s the goal. I just don\u2019t know when. The date I want to do it always gets pushed back because this other job that I have, playing basketball, kind of overshadows everything,” he said. “And maybe some of the songs will be down the line for my second or third album. I can\u2019t wait to get it to the people.”<\/p>\n

For now, though, Butler’s country music career will have to be put on hold \u2013 they kick off their season on Oct. 25.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
