Just days before Morgan Wallen‘s new Dangerous: The Double Album arrives in stores and online, reports are that Walmart “leaked” the music early by displaying and selling the album before its January 8th release date in a hand full of stores.

Morgan took to social media to address the issue, and said that if anyone was going to leak his music, it would be him…

“Hey y’all, it’s been brought to my attention that some of my music…well, my album, has leaked at some Walmarts around the country. I don’t know how that’s possible, but it has. Some of you are posting and trying to spread the new music which I’m super thankful for, I’m glad your eager to do that. But man, I’ve been working on this album for three years and I’ll be damned if I’ll let Walmart do the leaking like that, so if you all care, just keep up with me on here…whether it’s Tik Tok, Instagram, Twitter, whatever…I’m gonna start doing the leaking of the songs myself.”

Morgan’s sophomore project, Dangerous: The Double Album, will be officially released this Friday, Jan. 8, 2021. It features 30-songs, which includes more than a dozen tracks co-penned by Morgan himself.

Here is Morgan’s full statement that he posted to his social media…
