I'm sorry, but if people who met and worked with Mark says he is genuinely a good person and always speak highly of him, then I choose to believe that over a user on the Internet who takes pride in feeling morally superior and spreading misinformation to form a hate train
260821 #MARK instagram story
I want to clarify something I said during my Instagram Live.
During the Live, I misspoke when I said that l knew the meaning and historical significance of the symbol. What I meant to say was that l did not know the meaning or historical significance of the symbol at the time.
I want to be clear: I did not understand what the symbol represented, and neither did my team. There is no excuse for that. l take full responsibility for my lack of awareness, and sincerely regret the hurt and pain this caused, especially to my Black fans.
I have always believed in celebrating inclusivity, respecting others, and using my music to bring people together. What happened does not reflect those values or who I am as a person.
I recognize that not knowing does not lessen the impact. I deeply regret that I was uneducated about the history and meaning behind the symbol, and I am committed to learning, educating myself, and doing better moving forward.
I am truly sorry to everyone l hurt. I hope my actions going forward can reflect the respect and inclusivity I believe in.

if there are still ppl twisting his words and making fun of this after he literally addressed everything, then idk what to tell you. atp you dont want the truth you just wanna stay bitter over him
i'm sad that he had to see everything y'all said about him, some of y'all have been genuinely delusional, but seeing how mark lee addressed everything just makes me even prouder of him. he's such a strong person, and i know he'll always be the bigger person.
i have no rights to either accept his apology or not bec obv i’m not part of the affected community but i appreciate him for finally speaking up about it. i just hope none of y’all try to twist his words again… you all want him to address it PERSONALLY and he finally did. so please… if u decide not to support him anymore, thats ok. but pls stop making up stories completely unrelated to the whole shirt issue just to add more fuel to the fire and get more people to hate him.
