This morning, Nipsey Hussle co-signed a "joke" which said black women are disgracing black culture.

As you can probably guess, he spent the rest of the morning backtracking and apologizing to anyone he may have offended.

Check out all the Twitter action below. Then let us know if Nipsey needed to do all of that explaining, or if just saying it was a joke and he was sorry would have been good enough.

the comment that I responded to was a JOKE made in bad taste by someone in my area known as a lighthearted comedian that loves to laugh.
