Won't apologise for music video: Lily Allen

Explore Business Standard

Singer Lily Allen says she won't apologise for her music video "Hard Out Here", which was been slammed by the critics for being racist.
The 29-year-old was slammed by the critics for having a number of black girls twerking in the promo for her new song, but Allen said it wasn't racism, reports contactmusic.com.
"I've never apologised for it and I still won't because I don't think I did anything wrong. People on Twitter always say it's not the intent, it's the impact. Well, that's bull s**t," said the singer.
"My whole make-up is about bringing inequality and injustice to the forefront, so when people said I was racist I was like, 'Noooo, that's not me', I thought, Oh my god, is it worth it? But, of course, it is," she added.
