The Cuban reggaeton artist L Kimii issued a public apology to the presenter Alexander Otaola, following the controversy sparked by offensive comments made against him.
"Simply to put an end to this debate. Behavior has never always been perfect, but it was pure indignation that was felt in that moment. I had no choice but to do it that way. It wasn't the right thing, but you know what, brother, I forgive you, I forgive you for that," he said.
"You can tell me 'no problem, see, there’s no issue,' and I don’t feel offended for that. If it wasn’t in a derogatory manner, because if it had been directed at another person, or a country, a community, or a certain group of people, it would be different. But addressing me that way… I forgive you, I apologize," the artist expressed in a video shared on his social media.
During his message, L Kimii thanked his supporters for the support received during his concerts and tours, and stated that with his words he aimed to definitively put an end to the controversy.
