After the firestorm caused by a video showing Justin Bieber making a racist joke, more footage has surfaced that shows the Canadian pop star singing a racist version of his hit ‘One Less Lonely Girl’. In the new video, a 14 year old Justin is shown looking at the camera, and singing “One less lonely n—-r,” and “If I kill you, I’d be a part of the KKK, and there’s gonna be one less lonely n—-r.”
Bieber has already issued an apology for the first video that came before this. “I’m very sorry,” Bieber said. “I take all my friendships with people of all cultures very seriously and I apologize for offending or hurting anyone with my childish and inexcusable behavior.” He said in a statement to the Associated Press.
According to TMZ, the new video came about after Bieber saw a parody of his song on Youtube using the n-word. He chose to emulate the song and recorded his own version on camera. Later he would tell Will Smith and Usher of the videos he made. Usher then showed him historical videos about racism to show him how hurtful and demeaning his words could be.
Bieber and his team have also said that various people have been trying to extort the Canadian singer for these videos. Justin has grown weary of the attempted extortions and says he will not be shaken down, he says he wants the public to see the videos and he will accept full responsibility for his actions.
