Public apology

Apology0 Comments

Alsina makes a public apology to BET 106 & Park’s Keshia Chante, for his outburst and rudeness to her when she asked him a sensitive question about his beef with  Trey Songz.

I wasn’t mean. Here’s the thing. People get honesty and mean mixed up nowadays. You can say that now that I didn’t have to curse at her, but if you put me in a position. That’s how I felt. I went back to BET yesterday and that’s exactly what I said. Keshia was like, ‘I didn’t mean to disrespect you’ and I was like, ‘Well it wasn’t my intention to disrespect you.’ Before this conversation, I felt how I felt and I spoke on how I felt and I don’t take back nothing that I said.

I think sometimes people can be set up and people are just, quote unquote, doing their job…I speak from my heart, I got a big f-ckin’ mouth. It just is what it is. I don’t know how to change that, but in our reality, what I said was never about me trying to belittle the next n-gga or cause a problem with the next n-gga. It’s just, ‘This is how I feel.’ And I’m the idiot because I said what I said.
