00:01hi guys so i'm making this video in response to a video misha b has done and also a lot
00:09of
00:09false accusations that i'm seeing online now i'm not taking away from the fact of how misha feels
00:20i accept that she is entitled to her opinion and i'm sorry if she feels that that situation
00:32was racially motivated i can only speak from my side of the situation which i can say it 100
00:38was not one thing i regret is calling her out publicly the way that i did if i was the
00:46person
00:47i am today who's more emotionally intelligent who has more life experience i would have handled it
00:53in a very different way and that i'm truly sorry for and i deeply regret but to say and make
01:02claims
01:02i'm not saying she is but i'm seeing up people doing it online that it was racially motivated
01:08is ludicrous let me explain to you what happened there have been an accumulation of things that
01:16misha had done to other contestants and my contestants backstage she had made two of my
01:23acts cry one of them being on the night that i made those comments afterwards backstage she asked me
01:31why did you do that and i said why did you do what you did to my act to this
01:38day i didn't find her
01:40excuse visible i still don't agree with it i called a lot of people out on that show white black
01:49tall short
01:50it's nothing to do with skin color i was protecting my acts and if somebody does some nasty stuff
01:58whether it be on that show or not i'm gonna call them out on it it's nothing to do with
02:03race
02:03i didn't wake up and go i want to cause some drama for me should be because of the color
02:09of her skin
02:11she did some things that i felt i needed to pull her up on these things were real and they
02:18were
02:18happening i was dealing with crying contestants backstage because of her actions now i'm sure
02:24she's not the same person this was 10 years ago just as i'm not the same person to call her
02:30out
02:30in the way that i did i was a very feisty 22 year old i didn't think of emotional consequences
02:38but i can 100% tell you race was not even in the equation had nothing to do with race
02:45these accusations are ludicrous
02:50i owe my life to black people and to black culture from my career to the music i make
02:59to my very being who i am as a person i was the only white person in my friendship group
03:04growing
03:04up my father was raised in congo and ethiopia to the age of 16 i'm very passionate about the black
03:13lives matter movement and when i spoke to my friends about what they think i should do
03:19they told me to get educated so that's what i'm currently doing before i start speaking up and doing what
03:27i can
03:28i hope that this movement can put an end to the centuries of oppression abuse racism and corrupt
03:37system we're a part of but please believe me when i tell you i do not have a racist bone
03:46in my body
