01:08due to it pertaining to a period of enslavement and freedom in the country.

01:19especially because he doesn't appear to have Trinidadian roots himself.
01:24He released a statement on his Instagram page to address this and said,
01:28I just want to say on behalf of myself and my partners,
01:31our intention was never to offend or hurt a culture we love and respect and hope to shine a light on it.
01:37He continued,
