Morgan Wallen Terrorist Threat Neutralised

On Friday night (2 August), a man was arrested for posing a “terroristic threat” at a Morgan Wallen concert in Kansas City, Missouri.

A night after Wallen duetted his song Lies, Lies, Lies with Lainey Wilson at the same venue, Wallen again made the news. Unfortunately, this show has made headlines for unpleasant reasons.

The show at Missouri’s Arrowhead Stadium drew a large crowd, including famous faces like Travis Kelce, Patrick Mahomes, and Chris Jones from the Kansas City Chiefs.

According to an NME report, the man who made an alleged terroristic threat – Aaron Brown – reportedly wrote a since-deleted social media post that he planned to shoot “two individuals, who were members of the Kansas City Chiefs organization” at the show.

Detectives were looking for and eventually apprehended Brown at the concert, delaying the show’s start time by 40 minutes. Brown was charged with a Class E felony for making a “terroristic threat” in the second degree. He could face up to four years in prison or a $10,000 fine for the felony charge.

According to an affidavit seen by The Kansas City Star, he has no criminal history. A $15,000 bond was set, with prosecutors reportedly requesting a much higher cash bond of $250,000.

Court documents from the Jackson County Prosecutor's Office stated that Brown said his post on X (formerly known as Twitter) was a “stupid, stupid, stupid mistake”, claiming that he’d never made a threat on social media before. Brown’s girlfriend reportedly told investigators that Brown posted the alleged threat on his “burner” account, where he’d post “stupid stuff.”

Neither Wallen's nor Kansas City Chiefs' representatives have made statements about the incident.

Wallen recently opened his new bar, This Bar & Nashville Kitchen – which didn’t open without some problems, and in May, went to #1 thanks to his collaboration with Post Malone, I Had Some Help.

On the fourth of July, Wallen released his latest single, the highly anticipated Lies, Lies, Lies.
