Usher Pens Open Letter, Says Justin Bieber Was A Naive Child When He Used N-Word

navigate difficult waters as a young man, I can tell you that he hasn’t always chosen the path of his greatest potential, but he is unequivocally not a racist.

What he was 5 years ago was a naive child who did not understand the negative power and degradation that comes from playing with racial slurs. What he is now is a young man faced with an opportunity to become his best self, an example to the millions of kids that follow him to not make the same mistakes.

As previously reported, two videos have leaked of Bieber making racially insensitive comments and jokes. He has since apologized.

Other celebrities (50 Cent, Lil Wayne, etc.) have supported Bieber as well.
