The Nashville Metropolitan Council on Thursday rejected plans to post a 20-foot sign advertising the bar in downtown Nashville due to the singer’s past controversies, including his past use of a racial insult and allegedly threw a chair off a Nashville roof.
The resolution would have allowed the bar’s ownership group to hang a large neon sign outside the venue, similar to other country stars’ bars in Nashville, including those of Luke Bryan, Miranda Lambert and d ‘others. However, the council voted 30-3 to deny installation of the sign.
“I don’t want to see a billboard with the name of someone throwing chairs off balconies and saying racist slurs,” said Council Member Delishia Porterfield, according to The Tennessean.

District 24 council member Brenda Gadd said Wallen is “someone who continues to get second chances,” according to the outlet.
District 14 Council Member Jordan Huffman added, “Mr. Wallen is a fellow East Tennessean. It gives us all a bad name. His comments are hateful; his actions are harmful. Additionally, Council Member Antoinette Lee said those speaking out could “help people who are committing these harmful actions think twice.”
