R&B star Chris Brown insists he never meant to "insult anyone" by using a homophobic slurs as he tried to talk his way out of a parking ticket.
The angst laden singer avoided a citation after illegally parking his car in Los Angeles recently, however officials at a human rights group reacted angrily after a video emerged of him calling the snappers he accused of alerting the authorities to his illegal parking "gay".
After learning his car was about to be ticketed, Brown left a building and told the paparazzi, "Y'all niggas is weak. Did you all call them to try and film me? Y'all niggas is gay!"
Officials at the Human Rights Campaign said "Invoking words meant to demean gay Americans is just plain unacceptable. Chris Brown should know better. He irresponsibly neglected to recognize the impact of his words and the unacceptable message that it sends to couple the word gay with negative actions."
The singer tried to apologise via twitter “I have total respect for (the) gay community and my intention was not to insult anyone in it." he wrote.
