VIDEO: Morgan Wallen Snatches Phone From Security Guard, Chucks It Across Stage

Country music artist Morgan Wallen was caught on video last week throwing a cell phone across the stage during a show. The incident occurred during a Pittsburgh stop on his “Still the Problem” tour Friday. A concert attendee recorded Wallen gesturing to the phone before walking away, then walking back and ripping the phone out of the guard’s hand. The country star proceeded to dramatically throw the phone across the stage. A TikTok user posted a video of the incident, writing in the caption, “I get it … security should be doing security things, but …” The TikTok poster also said the phone was given to the security guard by another fan to record.  Wallen canceled the second of his two planned stops in Pittsburgh, blaming weather and later referencing what he described as “nonsense” rumors about him. “This morning, my team walked on my bus and told me they had been consulting with local officials and that I should cancel my show in Pittsburgh tonight and I said, ‘Why?’” Wallen said in the video posted to his Instagram Stories. “They said that there was going to be strong winds in the area, and I said, ‘OK.’ So, that is what I did and that was the information I had in the moment, and I trusted my team,” Wallen said. “I understand that wind hasn’t gotten to Pittsburgh yet. … The truth of the matter is, I have a large stage that, in those conditions, could become fatal to a lot of folks around it. So, I did the best I could with the information I had in that moment.” “I’ve been seeing a lot of nonsense about me that is simply not true, and I just wanted to clear the air,” he added. “I think my true fans know that that’s not how I operate in general, but I had to say it. Y’all take care.” His fans were questioning this explanation, speculating that it had to do with the prior night’s incident and not with the weather at all.  “Morgan wallen [sic] cancelling his show last night is just hilarious because i walked outside after my shift at 11pm and my car was completely dry,” one X commenter claimed. “No rain in sight. that man was already on his way back to tennessee [sic].” “…he hates his fans and his job and they eat it up,” the person continued.  Wallen previously made headlines for flipping a piano during a performance last month.
