John Mayer apologises for using the ‘N word’
By ANIThursday, February 11, 2010
WASHINGTON - John Mayer has apologised if he caused offence to anyone after using the controversial “N word” in one of his interviews.
The singer issued an apology on his Twitter page after he said “black people love me” and that he had a “n***** pass” during the chat with Playboy.
“Re: using the ‘N word’ in an interview: I am sorry that I used the word. And it’s such a shame that I did because the point I was trying to make was in the exact opposite spirit of the word itself,” Us magazine quoted him as saying.
“It was arrogant of me to think I could intellectualize using it, because I realize that there’s no intellectualizing a word that is so emotionally charged,” he added.
Mayer also added to his apology: “I think it’s time to stop trying to be so raw in interviews…it’s gotten out of hand and I’ve created somewhat of a monster. I wanted to be a blues guitar player. And a singer. And a songwriter. Not a shock jock. I don’t have the stomach for it. Again, because I don’t want anyone to think I’m equivocating: I should have never said the word and I will never say it again.” (ANI)
