“I had no idea that the guy’s music i posted was recently found saying racist comments,” said Bieber after his post wreaked havoc on social media.
“As you know I don’t support or tolerate any sort of racism or discrimination. I had no idea, I sincerely apologize to anyone I offended,” he went on to say.
“When I was a kid, I was incredibly ignorant and said some very hurtful racist jokes that clearly were not funny,” he continued.
“I hurt a lot of people especially the Black people in my life but was fortunate enough to have had them educate me on the horrifying origin of the n-word.
This brings those painful memories back up, I will always take ownership for my ignorance and my past because I know I am not that person,” he added.
