A new video of a younger Justin Bieber making racist jokes using the n-word has been leaked just three days after the pop singer issued a public apology for being caught using the n-word on tape.

Justin Bieber Sings N-Word In New Video

In the newly leaked video, a 15-year-old Bieber changes the words to one of his early hits, “One Less Lonely Girl,” so that he is singing “One Less Lonely N—–“

“One less lonely n—– / If I kill you, I’ll be part of the KKK. / Then there’ll be one less lonely n—–,” Bieber sings through laughter in the video.

The young singer appears to be looking directly into the camera, so it seems unlikely that he was being recorded without his knowledge.

According to TMZ, who posted the video, Bieber and his management team wanted the video to be released so that Bieber could take responsibility and “own what he did.” Sources say that Bieber did not come up with the song lyrics on his own. Instead, he was singing a parody version of his song he saw online, where the singer replaced the world ‘girl’ with the n-word.

The video reportedly dates from the same time he was recorded making a racist joke using the n-word. Bieber allegedly went to his mentor Usher and told him about the song, knowing it was a bad decision soon after the video was recorded.

“Usher took him into a room and showed him historically racist videos to drive home how hurtful these words can be,” writes TMZ.

The report also claims that people with copies of these two videos have been trying to extort money from Bieber for a few years, and Bieber wanted the video leaked in part so that he could not be blackmailed with it. Usher has not commented on the videos.

Justin Bieber Apologize For Use Of N-Word

The pop superstar has not yet commented on this most recent video, but he did issue an apology following the first leaked recording.

“As a kid, I didn’t understand the power of certain words and how they can hurt. I thought it was ok to repeat hurtful words and jokes, but didn’t realize at the time that it wasn’t funny and that in fact my actions were continuing the ignorance. Thanks to friends and family I learned from my mistakes and grew up and apologized for those words,” Bieber wrote.

In his apology, Bieber, now 20, does not try to defend his actions or make excuses, calling his use of the n-word a “childish and inexcusable mistake.”

“Ignorance has no place in our society and I hope the sharing of my faults can prevent others from making the same mistake in the future… Five years ago I made a reckless and immature mistake and I’m grateful to those close to me who helped me learn those lessons as a young man. Once again…I’m sorry,” Bieber concluded.

Soulja Boy Defends Justin Bieber

Bieber’s famous friends are also coming to his defense. Rapper Soulja Boy implored the public to forgive Bieber. Soulja Boy told TMZ that he had spoken to Bieber and forgave the singer, pointing out that Bieber was just 15 when the video was shot.

“The footage is so old, man, he was 15… it was a very touchy, serious situation, but we all slip up, we all make mistakes… it is what it is, let the kid live … yall know he’s not racist,” Soulja Boy said.

Bieber’s ex bodyguard, Kenny Hamilton, also came to the singer’s defense after the original video leaked, saying, “If someone is racist or prejudice you would know from a person’s actions. Not because of a joke a 15-year-old says. Yes he said some bad jokes and I know if he could he would take back what was said.”
