Chris Brown apologizes for homophobic slur on Twitter

NEW YORK - Singer Chris Brown has apologised for the series of racially charged, homophobic comments he posted on Twitter against ex-B2K singer Raz-B.

Brown, 21, had blasted Raz-B, 25, for commenting on how he had treated his ex-girlfriend Rihanna, and also posted tweets that questioned his sexuality.

“Yesterday was an unfortunate lack in judgment sparked by public Twitter attacks from Raz B, who was bent on getting attention,” the New York Daily News quoted Brown as saying in a statement.

“Words cannot begin to express how sorry and frustrated I am over what transpired publicly on Twitter.

“I have learned over the past few years to not condone or represent acts of violence against anyone.

Molestation and victims of such acts are not to be taken lightly, and for my comments I apologize - from the bottom of my heart.

“I love all of my fans, gay and straight. I have friends from all walks of life and I am committed, with God’s help, to continue becoming a better person,” he added. (ANI)
