“At the time I was just like not thinking about it. I had no idea I was going to have 50 million followers – which doesn’t make it any better. But um, yeah, totally I apologize for everything insensitive that I said in the past, but with that being said, yeah, I think that’s not my personality.”
The racially insensitive tweets have been deleted. In October 2013, Mendes told a female friend via Twitter: “I can see the black coming out in you.” In a March 2013 tweet to a friend, Mendes said: “I’m black, burnt up ya knoe.”
In a 2012 Instagram post, he captioned a photo of a black friend: “"A regular day with mah n***er Kareem."
