John Mayer’s apology for using the controversial “N word” in one of his interviews has done him little to get back into the good books of critics who continue to slam the singer for using degrading language.
The Your Body Is A Wonderland hitmaker invited trouble after declaring that “black people love me” and that he had a “n***** pass” during the chat with Playboy. He also compared his sexual desires to that of a white supremacist.
Though the star realised his mistake and was quick to apologise on his Twitter page, critics suggested the damage was already done, reports Fox News.
An A-list Hollywood record executive told Pop Tarts: “Whenever you use the N-word, there are going to be serious consequences. People come back all the time from inappropriate comments, but this is a serious problem that could possibly hurt record sales and his public perception if it keeps blowing up. Mayer should do some sensitivity training, which might be a good start in bouncing back from this.”
A label insider added: “His comments were as offensive as you can get. Some African-American artists will definitely stand their ground and just write him off. Mayer’s comments are not only unacceptable, they”re illogical and totally irrational for somebody who is as smart as he is supposed to be.”
The National Organization for African-American women also slammed Mayer, saying: “The NOAW is outraged by the recent degrading and irresponsible statements made by recording artist John Mayer. His statements in regards to African-American women were disgraceful. The use of the ‘N’ word was particularly offensive and vile. His outlandish statements are a slap in the face to the multitude of African-American people who are his fans and who have purchased his music.”
