Morgan Wallen and Post Malone were two of the artists BigXThaPlug mentioned last year when he first teased that he had a country project in the works.

But when the rapper dropped that album, I Hope You're Happy , on Friday (Aug. 22), neither of those artists were on the track list.

Jelly Roll , Luke Combs , Ella Langley , Thomas Rhett and more familiar country names lent their voices to various songs on the album, but Wallen and Malone were absent.

In a new interview with Billboard , BigX explained that schedule constraints and misaligned schedules caused those two artists to miss the track list.

Malone is currently overseas with his Big A-- World Tour , while Wallen is busy on his I'm the Problem Tour, after releasing that album in May.
