Back in 2017, Miley Cyrus gave an interview in which she said she stopped making hip-hop influenced music because rappers were becoming too dirty, noting, “I can’t listen to that anymore. That’s what pushed me out of the hip-hop scene a little.” Well, now she’s apologizing for the comments.
Several weeks ago, a video posted by YouTuber Kendra Wilson called Miley out about the comments, noting, “t wasn’t the right thing to say, it was bad, it was racially insensitive, it had racist undertones and it wasn’t OK, point blank, period.” Apparently Miley finally got wind of the video, because she responded in the comments section and acknowledged she was wrong.
“Thank you for giving me this opportunity to speak up. Being silent is not like me at all,” Miley shares. “I want to start with saying I am sorry. I own the fact that saying … “this pushed me out of the hip hop scene a little” was insensitive as it is a privilege to have the ability to dip in and out of ‘the scene.'”
She adds, “My words became a divider in a time where togetherness and unity is crucial. I can not change what I said at that time, but I can say I am deeply sorry for the disconnect my words caused. Simply said; I (expletive) up and I sincerely apologize . I’m committed to using my voice for healing, change, and standing up for what’s right.” Check out Kenya’s video to the right, NOTE CONTENT
