The BBC has now apologized for airing the slur.

I'm a Senior Staff Writer at BuzzFeed covering pop culture, entertainment, and politics.

As the Tourette Association of America put it: "Coprolalia is different from simply swearing or using bad language. Usually these vocal tics are not uttered within social or emotional contexts, and often are spoken or repeated compulsively in a louder tone or different cadence or pitch than normal conversational speech. Particularly embarrassing for some individuals with coprolalia are involuntary outbursts within social contexts, such as racial or ethnic slurs in the company of the very people who would be most offended by such remarks...It is crucial to understand that these words or complex phrases do not necessarily reflect the thoughts, beliefs or opinions of the person with coprolalia."

at the end of the show.  Of course we were offended...but our frequency, our spiritual vibration is tuned to a higher level than what happened.  I am not steal, this did not bounce off of me, but I exist above it. It can't take away from who I am as an artist.
