Earlier in the show, another Snl The star made a pleasure at the widely disseminated social media of Wallen. A few hours after taking him out of the studio 8 am, the country singer shared a photo with his Instagram stories with a private jet, stirring the image, “bring me in the country of God”.

When the crowd laughed, he added: “Remember that? Wow.”
The jokes occur a week after Wallen shared fast jokes with the host Mikey Madison before getting out of the stage quickly and passing the cameras, the credits always rolling.

Snl Kenan Thompson, member of the distribution, even spoke with Weekly entertainment About the incident. “I don’t know what’s going on by people’s minds when they decide to do things like that. I don’t know if he has understood the mission or not, or if he really felt a certain way,” he said. “You see someone before you have the chance to say hello or say good job or something like that, he dives. I thought he might have to go to the pot or something.”
“It is definitely a peak in the standard,” added Thompson. “We are so used to what everyone turns around and makes us fall, everyone says:” Good job, good job, good work. “So when there is a start of this, it’s like, HMM, I wonder what it is? … Seems to be a complicated individual, I suppose.”
Thompson also disputed the IG image and legend of Wallen. “The” country of God “of all this is strange because it is, what are you trying to say? He said.” Do you try to say that we are not in the country of God? Are we not all in the country of God? Are we not all under the umbrella of God? It is not necessarily my favorite. “
