John Mayer had already apologized on his Twitter account for his racist comments in his Playboy interview. But Wednesday night, the singer broke down and issued another apology onstage during his show.
John Mayer was the talk of the Internet yesterday after his comments on sex with Jessica Simpson and his “white supremacist d*ck”.
The singer interrupted his show last night in Nashville to apologize again saying:
“In the quest to be clever, I completely forgot about the people that I love and the people that love me,” he said.
In his Playboy interview, Mayer uttered the N-word, and said he wasn’t attracted to black women.
Mayer also said, “I went, as I have begun to do, into a wormhole of selfishness and greed and arrogance,” he said, “thinking that if I would just continue to be speedy and witty and pull together as many fast words and phrases as I could, I could be clever enough to buy myself another day without anybody pinning me down and saying, ‘You’re a creep.’
“I think it’s important that you know that everybody on this stage is here playing with me, not because they condone what I say in any given interview,” he continued. “They’re on this stage because they support [me] as a possible future grownup.”
The crowd at his show cheered at hearing his apology and Mayer almost cried saying the fallout over his comments in the interview had made a change in his thinking.
“It’s just not worth being clever,” he said. “I just can’t. I quit the sound-bite game. I quit the media game. I’m out. I’m done. I just want to play my guitar to whoever is around.”
