West Cost Rapper Nipsey Hussle finds himself in hot water for a comment he made on Twitter in reference to black women being a disgrace to black culture. Nipsey initiated a Twitter firestorm when he responded to a comment made by Newport (@1flymexican) in regards to his disliking of black women.

This upset many people, and Nipsey quickly tried to backtrack from the comments that he made. He claims that he was joking and that his tweet was taken out of context.
the comment that I responded to was a JOKE made in bad taste by someone in my area known as a lighthearted comedian that loves to laugh.

He later then apologized to anyone who felt offended by the comment that he made.
Wrong is wrong and I’ll take responsibility and apologize to all my black women that were offended by it

There really hasn’t been a moon-walk like this since the great Micheal Jackson in “Billie Jean”!
