Michael Rubin issued an apology on social media for his comments about Black culture during an interview on The Breakfast Club.
Rubin was trying to defend his friend Meek Mill, who has been roasted online after being dragged into Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones’ lawsuit against Sean “Diddy” Combs.”

He added, “That is the one thing I’ve learned about… you know, look, I’m just being blunt because it’s me. It’s the one thing I’ve learned about Black culture that I don’t like is that Black hate on hate.”
