Henry stated, "I know there are a lot of people out there who are really upset and offended with the styling that was done in the video... I apologize and I'm really sorry I offended anybody, especially the Black community."

He added, "I know you probably won't believe me but I think this was all just a result of me loving the Black culture and Black community so much." 

At the end, he emphasized, "I just like to let you all know that I never intended on offending anybody. All I wanted to do was give you guys good music. I promise from now on that I'll be more aware of this matter."

It appears Henry has deleted the video from his Facebook page.
