Justin Bieber changing song lyrics to joke about killing a n****** and joining Ku Klux Klan'

Justin Bieber

Justin Bieber has apologised a second time for video footage showing him making racist remarks.

He was forced to make his latest apology after a second video emerged showing Bieber singing his hit song One Less Lonely Girl, but changing the final words to ‘lonely n*****’.

The singer, who fans branded ‘an arrogant little twerp’ over the footage, also uses sick lyrics about killing black people and joining the Ku Klux Klan.

The 24-second clip follows the release of a video a few days ago in which he asked: ‘Why are black people afraid of chainsaws?’ before imitating the noise of a chainsaw and saying: ‘Run n*****, n*****, n*****, n*****, n*****’.

The footage will further jeopardise his career, which has already suffered from a string of run-ins with police in America and his native Canada.

Now he has apologised - once again - for the latest controversial footage. 

He told The Sun: 'Facing my mistakes from years ago has been one of the hardest things I've ever dealt with.

'But I feel now that I need to take responsibility for those mistakes and not let them linger.

'At the end of the day, I just need to step up and own what I did.'

He said in a statement: ‘I’m very sorry. I take my friendships with people of all  cultures very seriously and apologise for offending or hurting anyone with my  childish and inexcusable mistake.

‘I was a kid then and I am a man now who knows my responsibility to the world and to not make that mistake again.’

Bieber, 20, who has sold more than 15million albums and earned a reported £80million, blamed the first video, filmed when he was 15, on youthful indiscretion.

In the latest footage Bieber wears a blue shirt and a dog tag necklace. A female friend can be heard laughing in the background, and the singer smiles as he gives his twisted rendition of Lonely Girl, the original version of which has been viewed 203 million times on YouTube.

Last night show business website TMZ reported that the new video was captured when Bieber was 14, after he had seen a comedian’s parody of Lonely Girl.

The website also claimed Bieber had  realised at the time that making the recording was a mistake, and had told his mentor, the R’n’B star Usher Raymond, and actor Will Smith. Mr Raymond rebuked him and showed him videos to illustrate the evils of racial prejudice, it reported.

What's more, TMZ reports that the Young Money Entertainment clan, which features the likes of 'Lil Wayne and Birdman – who Justin regularly hangs out with – are supporting the Never Say Never hitmaker.

Mack Maine, President of Young Money, is quoted by the website as saying: 'Bieber does not have a slave mentality.  He treats his people with respect.'

Fans in Britain and the US – who call themselves ‘Beliebers’ – left him in no doubt about their dismay last night.

One, LizaCar, said: ‘He needs to go back to school, get an education, receive [some] discipline and learn some respect.

‘He’s out of control and it’s not going to have a happy ending the rate it’s going.’

Jamal Jackson, from Liverpool, wrote: ‘No I don’t care, you know there are certain words you shouldn’t use and that’s hurtful words against other people. Sorry Justin you can’t type a little message on twitter and get out of it!’

Another online commenter branded the baby-faced singer an ‘arrogant little twerp’.

A user calling themselves Disgruntled Reader, from California, said: ‘The KKK isn’t funny, racism isn’t funny and using the n-word isn’t funny.

People were terrorized, abused and murdered over the  colour of their skin at one time, and making a joke of it is nothing short of breathtaking stupidity and arrogance.’

Twitter users in the US mocked the singer by posting a picture of KKK members apparently saying: ‘We would like to  distance ourselves from Mr Bieber. All organisations have a few embarrassing members.’

The white supremacist Ku Klux Klan lynched hundreds of black people in the southern US.

Job 30:

7 Among the bushes they brayed; under the nettles they were gathered together.

8 They were children of fools, yea, children of base men: they were viler than the earth.

9 And now am I their song, yea, I am their byword.

Psalm 44:1

14 Thou makest us a byword among the heathen, a shaking of the head among the people.

Zephaniah 2:

1 Gather yourselves together, yea, gather together, O nation not desired;

2 Before the decree bring forth, before the day pass as the chaff, before the fierce anger of the Lord
