Morgan Wallen's supporters stood with the singer following the unauthorized release of the "Stand Alone (10th Anniversary Deluxe)" album.

Wallen's former company, Panacea, dropped the unauthorized edition of his 2015 EP, "Stand Alone," against his wishes. The country crooner has since condemned the label, but his fans also came forward to defend him.

Wallen's fans also took to X to express their dismay over the move. They also urged everyone not to support the release because it was "not Morgan Wallen."

One said, "They really did Morgan wallen dirty with this album lol those songs shoulda never seen the light of day."

"Stand with @MorganWallen don't listen to that Album, don't let the greedy people make a dime off of it," another wrote, while someone added, "Screw this label. They're releasing this album without Morgan's approval."

A third chimed in, "Finding out @MorganWallen new album is being released against his wishes is so heartbreaking."

Morgan responded to the release via Instagram to inform his fans of the "gross, greedy" move of his former label, which expanded the album by releasing more tracks created by the singer years ago.

"Tonight, those colleagues I parted ways with almost 10 years ago plan to release a "10th Anniversary" edition of Stand Alone against my wishes & and include 8 unreleased songs, distributing it with the assistance of my former managers," he said, adding, "For months I've been exploring every avenue possible to acquire the rights to this old music & keep the quality of my catalog consistent with songs I choose to release & believe in."

He told everyone that it was not his new music and that he does not want it to happen to anyone else.

To give his fans the best gift, he disclosed he would begin recording his next project in February to share the music he is proud of.

In addition, Wallen also re-recorded "Spin You Around" and released it afterward.

Following the incident, he also donated $100,000 from his foundation to the Volunteer Lawyers & Professionals For the Arts program to help young aspiring musicians.

Despite the warning, TMZ reported that the album has sold well after the release. It scored No. 12 spot on iTunes' top 100 albums.
