“It’s very difficult to reflect on the darkest moments of your life, but sometimes you have to do it,” the rapper said in a video on Instagram.

“I was screwed, I mean, I hit rock bottom, but I don’t make excuses. My behavior in that video is inexcusable. I take full responsibility for my actions in that video. I was disgusted. I was disgusted. Then when I did it, now I’m disgusted.

“I went and sought professional help. I started going to therapy, to rehab. I had to ask God for his mercy and grace. I’m so sorry. But I’m committed to being a better man, each and every day. I’m not asking sorry. I’m so sorry.”

The 54-year-old man, whose Homes in Los Angeles and Miami were raided by Homeland Security Investigations agents in March, has faced a series of public accusations of physical and sexual violence.
