Laila Ali Apologizes to Kim K and Kanye West
Laila Ali can admit when she’s wrong, and in an interview with radio personality Egypt, she recently apologized for her comments on baby North West.
Via AllHipHop:
Egypt: Laila, are you there babe?
Laila: I am here, how are you doing?
Egypt: Girl, this just seems so silly. But I know that you kinda had something on your heart when I called you too that you wanted to share with everybody. How did this thing just get blown out of proportion?
Laila: Okay, I was recently at a charity event and I was asked my opinion on some of these non-traditional and creative names and I was speaking very candidly and honestly as I always do. And you know, as a parent, knowing how cruel the world is and the bullying, and you know, kids have to grow up and get a job one day, I did say that I think some of these name choices are stupid. I do realize that it was a poor choice of words, you know, and it wasn’t to single out Kim or Kanye. I actually mentioned a bunch of names, not just the name North. It was a general opinion to a question that I was asked, but it doesn’t matter. I do realize and I take responsibility for it. I have no problem doing that. It was a poor choice of words that I used.
Egypt: Okay.
Laila: You know I actually reached out to Kim and Kanye to apologize.
