At the Billboard Music Awards, Diddy says he’s “un-canceling the canceled,” including Travis Scott and shamed country singer Morgan Wallen (who used the n-word.)
“We’re un-canceling the canceled. [Brother] Love does not rock like that,” he said.
“I looked at Morgan’s situation. I looked at Travis’ situation and I said, ‘Man, I got some power to do something about that because we can’t start that in the music industry or even in life period, so I’m here to forgive, to unify, to celebrate, and to have everybody be free. That’s my job.”
Scott was “canceled” after 10 people died at his Astrowrold Festival. Wallen was caught on camera calling his Black neighbor a “n-gger.”
“I’m embarrassed and sorry. I used an unacceptable and inappropriate racial slur that I wish I could take back,” Wallen said in a statement to ET. “There are no excuses to use this type of language, ever. I want to sincerely apologize for using the word. I promise to do better.”
