Laravel SQLSTATE general error 1364 field 'x' doesn't have a default value

I'm on Laravel 5.4 and using BackPackForLaravel as my admin interface.

I have a GenreTableMigration like bellow :

Schema::create('genres', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->increments('id');
    $table->string('name');
    $table->string('slug')->default('');
    $table->string('image');
    $table->enum('status', ['PUBLISHED', 'DRAFT'])->default('PUBLISHED');
    $table->boolean('featured')->default(0);
    $table->timestamps();
    $table->softDeletes();
});

Notice the image column is non-nullable and has no default value. In my model Genre theres this:

protected $fillable = ['slug', 'name', 'image', 'status', 'featured'];

I also have mutator for image column in my model:

/**
 * Store Image
 */

public function setImageAttribute($value)
{
    $attribute_name = "image";
    $disk = "public";
    $destination_path = "Albums";

    // if the image was erased
    if ($value == null) {
        // delete the image from disk
        \Storage::disk($disk)->delete($this->image);

        // set null in the database column
        $this->attributes[$attribute_name] = null;
    }

    // if a base64 was sent, store it in the db
    if (starts_with($value, 'data:image')) {
        // 0. Make the image
        $image = \Image::make($value);
        // 1. Generate a filename.
        $filename = md5($value . time()) . '.jpg';
        // 2. Store the image on disk.
        \Storage::disk($disk)->put($destination_path . '/' . $filename, $image->stream());
        // 3. Save the path to the database
        $this->attributes[$attribute_name] = $destination_path . '/' . $filename;
    }
}

And my GenresTableSeeder:

$path = base_path('seeder-resources/GenresPhotos');

DB::table('genres')->delete();

$genres = [
    [
        'name' => 'Pop',
        'image' => "$path/Pop.jpeg",
        'status' => 'PUBLISHED',
        'featured' => mt_rand(0, 1),
        'created_at' => Carbon::now()->format('Y-m-d H:i:s'),
        'updated_at' => Carbon::now()->format('Y-m-d H:i:s'),
    ],
];

foreach ($genres as $genre) {
    $this->command->info(print_r($genre));
    Genre::create($genre);
}

When i use GenreCrudController and use the Add Genre button everything works fine and the row is created but when i try to seed the table i get the following error on my console.

  [Illuminate\Database\QueryException]                                         
  SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 1364 Field 'image' doesn't have a default v  
  alue (SQL: insert into `genres` (`name`, `status`, `featured`, `created_at`  
  , `updated_at`, `slug`) values (Pop, PUBLISHED, 0, 2017-03-10 08:43:15, 201  
  7-03-10 08:43:15, pop))  

Even if i set the image value (which is a string column) in $genres array to Anything. I also tried to seed eloquently like below:

$genre = new Genre();
$genre->name = 'Pop';
$genre->image = "anything";
$genre->status = 'PUBLISHED';
$genre->featured = 1;
$genre->save();

Still the same error in console. Does anyone have any idea?
