Everything’s bigger in Texas, including Morgan Wallen’s kickoff of his “I’m the Problem” Tour!
Wallen launched his latest tour Friday at Houston’s NRG Stadium, bringing along two surprise guests.
While the soundtrack of Lil Durk’s “Broadway Girls” played, Wallen walked out on stage accompanied by a legend from the city’s NFL team, Houston Texans former wide receiver Andre Johnson, and Jim McIngvale, better know to Houston residents as “Mattress Mack.” He runs the Gallery Furniture chain and is a well-known local personality.
Morgan posted a video on Instagram of the trio as they prepared to take the stage, with the caption, “houston, we got a problem” In the video, Mattress Mack appears to show Morgan a briefcase full of cash as the singer laughs.

But Morgan Wallen was only getting started.
On night two in Houston, the singer upped the ante again, flanked by former pro baseball pitcher Roger Clemens and rapper Drake as he walked to the stage.
The Instagram video of the three greeting each other before the show seemed to promise more of the same in upcoming tour stops, with the caption, “all summer long”. Clemens presented Wallen with a Clemens #22 baseball jersey. Wallen was wearing a Kid Rock t-shirt for night two.
