British Rapper Stormzy Apologizes for \u2018Unacceptable and Disgusting\u2019 Homophobic Tweets<\/b>
\n\"Stormzy\"<\/p>\n

\"Stormzy\"<\/p>\n

British rapper Stormzy has apologized for tweets unearthed this week<\/a> in which he used homophobic slurs including the word \u201cfag\u201d.<\/p>\n

An example of one of the tweets:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Said the rapper on Twitter:<\/p>\n

\u201cI said some foul and offensive things whilst tweeting years ago at a time when I was young and proudly ignorant. Very hurtful and discriminative views that I\u2019ve unlearned as I\u2019ve grown up and become a man<\/a>..The comments I made were unacceptable and disgusting, full stop. Comments that I regret and to everyone I\u2019ve offended, I am sorry, these are attitudes I\u2019ve left in the past. The homophobic language I used was, embarrassingly, a part of my vocabulary when I was younger and\u2026ignorance made me feel comfortable to use them whilst not understanding the hate and the ramifications they carry. That isn\u2019t an excuse, I take responsibility for my mistakes and hope you can understand that my younger self doesn\u2019t reflect who I am today.\u00a0Again, I\u2019m sorry to everyone I\u2019ve offended. To the LGBQT community and my supporters and friends, my deepest apologies.\u201d<\/p>\n
