Country music star Morgan Wallen will not be submitting his music for consideration at the 2026 Grammy Awards.

Morgan Wallen, who is doing to country music what Drake did to young girls hip-hop, is declining to submit his 37-track I’m the Problem for Grammy consideration after failing to win in previous years — a strategy commonly known as “You’re not breaking up with me, I’m breaking up with you.”
