TV station apologises after broadcasting rap battle with offensive lyrics on morning show

CTV's morning show Canada AM broadcast the segment promoting an upcoming Toronto rap battle which included a live battle between rappers HFK and Charron.

Unfortunately, battles usually involve two rappers chucking verbal insults at each other in a lyrical and poetic manner and this one was no different although the insults weren't particularly lyrical or clever - they simply managed to run the gamut of offensiveness.

There were jokes about gay people and fat people, and references to virgins and murder despite the early morning broadcast time and the fact it was Family Day in several parts of Canada.

At one point HFK said, "And since I got the spotlight, and I'm on TV, there's something I want to say: Just cause Charron gave me head, it doesn't mean that he's gay. But hey, happy Valentine's Day."

The battle continued uninterrupted for four minutes but once it had finished, Canada AM host Marci Len said, "Because we're a morning show, and this isn't the streets, we gotta apologize for some the language right there."

The show also apologised on Facebook saying, "We would genuinely like to apologize for today’s performance. The lyrics were unexpected and not reflective of our beliefs."

The station refused to upload the segment online although it is available to watch on YouTube (be warned regarding offensive content)

Battle Rap is just a BADLY executed amateur stand-up comedy...If you are a funny dude like Sirius Jones, you damn near UNBEATABLE....Dude took Jin's soul and turned him Christian...:krs:

99% of Battle Rappers have no flow and delivery...They are just spitting offbeat lame jokes and death threats...:russ:
fukk outta here with this outsider garbage. You clearly haven't seen a lot of different battles yet you're judging the whole shyt like you have. You sound like a middle aged white person talking about "gangster rap music"

Lol, the station went out of their way to sh1t on the rappers (paragraph three of the statement) because their liberal sensitivites were offended.

What happened to Organick? Looks like something is wrong with him.
I thought the battle was funny.
Canadians are uptight as hell.
