Asher Roth Issues Statement on Twitter/Associated Press Comments

Asher Roth

So, I have not posted anything about Asher Roth's Twitter comments last week about "chilling with some Nappy Headed Hoes."  I saw them last week when they went up, and thought that the kid was referring to his performance at Rutgers in a way that would not sit well with many, and was a, 'wait...that didn't come out right' kind of moment.  I also followed eskay's coverage of the whole thing, which I thought was pretty dope.   Well, today, Asher Roth released a statement regarding his comment on Twitter, as well as this interview he did in which he talked about rappers not giving back to their communities.  His statement is below.
