Morgan Wallen didn’t disappoint fans on the second night of his I’m the Problem tour stop in Houston on Saturday (June 21).
After kicking off the weekend with a surprise appearance by NFL legend Andre Johnson and Houston businessman Jim “Mattress Mack” McIngvale on Friday at NRG Stadium, the 32-year-old country star had more star power in store for night two.
Continuing what has become a signature grand entrance at his shows, Wallen took the stage accompanied by rap superstar Drake and baseball great Roger Clemens at the home of the Houston Texans. Dressed in a black Kid Rock T-shirt, Wallen walked out flanked by Drake and Clemens as the singer’s “Broadway Girls,” featuring Lil Durk, played in the background.

The moment was captured on video and displayed on the stadium’s jumbotron, showing Clemens handing Wallen a custom baseball jersey while a denim-clad Drake appeared to take a swig from a flask.
Morgan also shared the walkout moment on Instagram, set to Drake’s 2011 track “Under Ground Kings.” “All summer long,” he captioned the post. Diplo took to the comments, writing, “Man can’t be stopped.”
This isn’t the first time Wallen and Drake have teamed up. In 2023, the Toronto MC featured the “Last Night” singer in the opening scene of his “You Broke My Heart” music video. The track was featured on the “Scary Hours” edition of Drake’s For All the Dogs album.
Wallen’s dramatic walkout moments at NRG Stadium have become a hallmark of his live shows, with past surprise guests including Travis Kelce, Troy Aikman, Peyton Manning and Tom Brady.
The back-to-back concerts in Houston launched Wallen’s 20-date I’m the Problem tour, which runs through Sept. 13 and hits 10 cities across the U.S. His next stop is a two-night run at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison, Wisc., on June 28–29. The tour features an all-star lineup of supporting acts, including Koe Wetzel, Miranda Lambert, Brooks & Dunn, Ella Langley, Gavin Adcock and Thomas Rhett.

The trek supports Wallen’s blockbuster fourth studio album, I’m the Problem, which has held the top spot on the Billboard 200 for four consecutive weeks since its release on May 16.
