Singer Lily Allen insists she won't apologise for her 'Hard Out Here' video, which was slammed by critics for featuring black girls twerking.
The 29-year-old singer said it was not a racist video, reported Contactmusic.
"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.
"My whole make-up is about bringing inequality and injustice to the forefront, so when people said I was racist I was like, 'No, that's not me', I thought, 'Oh my God, is it worth it? But of course it is," she said.
