Miley Cyrus has apologized for the insensitive comments about the hip/hop. The Hannah Montanna star is taking responsibility for her actions.
The 26-year-old singer took to the comment section of a fan-made YouTube video titled “Miley Cyrus Is My Problematic Fav…Sorry” to apologize for the comments she made about hip-hop back in 2017.
“I want to start by 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.’
Back in her 2017 Billboard cover story, Miley faced major backlash after she said she wasn’t a fan of rap music anymore.
“It was too much ‘Lamborghini, got my Rolex, got a girl on my c–k,’” Miley said at the time. “I am so not that.”
“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 f***ed up and I sincerely apologize. I’m committed to using my voice for healing, change, and standing up for what’s right.”
Her words ignited a widespread backlash, with the artist being accused of appropriating and exploiting hip hop culture and then dismissing it when it no longer served her.
Cyrus has been vocal in recent weeks, slamming a critical review of her new EP “She is Coming“. She followed this by speaking out about a scary incident in which she was forcibly groped by a stranger in Barcelona, saying women “CAN’T be grabbed without her consent” accompanied by the hashtag #Dont(Expletive)WithMyFreedom.”
