In a since-deleted post Bieber said “Love this album,” written over a screenshot of Wallen’s album. Shortly after, Bieber issued an apology, explaining: “I had no idea that the guy’s music i posted was recently found saying racist comments.”
He went on to say, “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 continued.
“When I was a kid, I was incredibly ignorant and said some very hurtful racist jokes that clearly were not funny,” he shared in a second post. “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.” In his Wednesday’s apology, the star also acknowledged that he has “so much more to learn” and said he is grateful for his “Black brothers and sisters for being patient” with him.
As we previously reported, Wallen faced massive backlash on social media in February after TMZ published a video of him telling a friend to “take care of this p—y-ass n—a” when they returned home from a night out in Nashville. He immediately issued an apology, saying he was “embarrassed and sorry,” but months later, he revealed it wasn’t the first time he’s used the word.
