JAKARTA - Singer Justin Bieber wrote an apology to his fans via his Instagram account on Wednesday, August 4.

Initially, Bieber expressed his appreciation for the song Sand in My Boots from Morgan Wallen's new album, Dangerous. A few hours later, he returned to Instagram with a post.

“I didn't know the music from the guy I uploaded said racist comments. As you know, I do not support or tolerate acts of racism or discrimination," Bieber said.

"I apologize for those who were offended," he said in an Instagram Story.

Last February, a video featured Morgan Wallen saying racial slurs. As a result, newly released albums are immediately removed from radio playback and streaming services.

In addition, record label Big Loud terminated the contract with Wallen. Despite this, the album Dangerous topped the Billboard 200 for 10 weeks.

Thanks to the album, Morgan Wallen won the country singer's record with the longest album at the top of Billboard. The album shifted after Bieber released the album Justice.

This is not the first incident of racism that has happened to Justin Bieber. In 2014, a video featured the Baby singer mentioning racist words. Admitting his actions, he admitted that he was not educated about it.

Bieber also hinted at the incident in his latest Instagram Story. "I hurt a lot of people especially black people in my life but I'm lucky because a lot of people tell me about the N-word."

"This (incident) brings back those painful memories. I will always take responsibility for my past and my ignorance because I know I am not that kind of person."
