Brad Pitt’s rumored girlfriend and Hollywood star Alia Shawkat is the latest celebrity to apologise for a past mistake. In a video from an interview in 2016, the actress is seen making reference to a Drake song containing the N-word. The actress has however been prompt in her apology.
“I am writing this to address a video of me quoting a song with the n-word in it as part of an interview 4 years ago,” Alia wrote on her on social media.
“I am deeply sorry and take full responsibility. It was a careless moment, one I am ashamed and embarrassed by, but vow to learn from. I regret using a word that carries so much pain and history to black people,” she added.
In the interview video, Alia is seen singing lyrics of Drake’s 2013 song ‘We Made It’ featuring Soulja Boy. The song’s lyrics contained the word Nigger, a derogatory term used for African-Americans.
“It was never a word to be used by someone who is not black,” Alia said.
