Wallen was recorded on camera using a racial slur in 2021. A year prior, he had been set to appear on Saturday Night Live, but his appearance was cancelled after he was seen partying without a mask.

In March, Wallen appeared on SNL. He made headlines for exiting the stage as soon as the show wrapped and cameras were still rolling.

“Get me to God’s country” he wrote on Instagram afterward the bizarre incident, alongside a picture of a private jet, Blavity reported.

“The ‘God’s country’ of it all is strange because it’s like, what are you trying to say?” Kenan Thompson said shortly after the moment went viral. “You trying to say that we are not in God’s country? We’re not all in God’s country? We’re not all under God’s umbrella? That’s not necessarily my favorite. But whatever. Moving on, we got a new show. We got Jack Black this week. We will be fine.”

“Saturday, I guess it was just different because it just felt so abrupt,” he added. “And it was already such a small grouping on the stage anyway. So it was just like, oh wow, that was pretty visible. You know what I’m saying? It was a pretty visible thing.”
