Justin Bieber has issued an apology on Instagram after he endorsed country music star Morgan Wallen's song. Six months earlier, Wallen had faced backlash over a leaked video where the singer could be seen drunkenly using the N-word with his friends.&nbsp; 
 
Bieber had shared a screenshot of Wallen`s `Sand In My Boots` from `Dangerous: The Double Album`, writing 'Love this album', alongside it. The post was eventually deleted.&nbsp; 
 
In his apology&nbsp;Bieber said sorry&nbsp;to those who he unknowingly hurt due to the incident. Bieber wrote, "I had no idea that the guy`s music i posted was recently found saying racist comments. As you know i don't support or tolerate any sort of racism or discrimination. I had no idea, I sincerely apologize to anyone i offended." 
 
The `Peaches` singer nodded to his own past with the slur by adding, "When I was a kid, I was incredibly ignorant and said some very hurtful racist jokes that clearly were not funny. I hurt a lot of people especially the Black people in my life but was fortunate enough to have had them educate me on the horrifying origin of the n-word. This brings those painful memories back up; I will always take ownership for my ignorance and my past because I know I am not that person." 
 
In February, Wallen faced enormous social media backlash after TMZ published a video of him telling a friend to "take care of this p--y-ass n--a" when they returned home from a night out in Nashville. 
 
He immediately issued an apology, saying he was "embarrassed and sorry," but months later, he revealed it wasn`t the first time he`s used the word. 
 
Big Loud, Wallen`s record label suspended him in February but has since reinstated him. Either way, the controversy hasn`t dented his album sales. Wallen`s `Dangerous` album has been No. 1 on the Billboard country album chart for 26 weeks.
