Life comes to you quickly, even if you are a pop star. Justin Bieber posted a story on Instagram on Wednesday shouting out at controversial country artist Morgan Wallen. Biebs posted a screenshot of Wallens Dangerous: the double album Subtitled I love this album. (Bieber’s latest album, Justice, actually pushed Dangerous to the top of the Billboard charts in March of this year.) The Feast of Love didn’t last long, as Bieber deleted the story and apologized for not knowing that Wallen was filmed saying the N word. I had no idea that the guys’ music I posted had recently been found making racist comments, Bieber wrote in his stories. I sincerely apologize to all those I have offended.

Bieber also took the time to thank black people in his life for educating him when he made racist jokes in the past: When I was a kid I was incredibly ignorant and said very racist jokes. hurtful that clearly weren’t funny. I have hurt a lot of people, especially black people in my life, but I have been fortunate that they told me about the horrible origin of the n word. It brings back those painful memories, I’ll always be responsible for my ignorance and my past because I know I’m not that person. Wallens’ last explanation of his words took place on Hello america, where he said when he’s with his friends they say stupid things together.
