Psy Apologizes For Resurfaced Anti-American Lyrics

Frankly, he had reason at the time, and "Gangnam Style" requires a real apology

PSY is backtracking on that invisible horse of his.

The hugely successful "Gangnam Style" rapper shocked many earlier today when anti-American statements he made at a protest concert in 2004 came to light. Among the incendiary lyrics: "Kill those f--king Yankees who have been torturing Iraqi captives/Kill those f--king Yankees who ordered them to torture/Kill their daughters, mothers, daughter-in-law and fathers/Kill them all slowly and painfully."

But now the rapper, who has performed for U.S. troops and is scheduled to perform later this month for President Barack Obama, is ready to set the record straight, releasing a statement to E! News.
