After Astro gave major attitude for being in the bottom two on the The X Factor last week, the 15-year-old rapper finally apologized for his behavior. He wrote on his facebook page:

What I do, I do for the love of Hip-Hop and my fans, and I would never doing anything to hurt either. But please try to understand where my head was last night. Muhammed Ali was hated by America when he didn’t enter the draft. What people didn’t know was that he would have entered if the recruiter would have addressed him by his new name. I believed I was being mistreated, and in the moment I thought about Ali’s moment. I want to be the new ambassador for Hip-Hop and a leader of a new young movement of positive kids, but to be that I must have Integrity and Honor first! People are saying I’m “cocky” and “arrogant”, well maybe I have watched too many Muhammed Ali films or maybe I grew up having to fight my way home everyday or battle on street corners of Brooklyn for respect. My guards are always up, and maybe I took the situation too heavy. I seriously apologize to my fans, what I said and my emotions weren’t directed toward you. I’m 15 and I think I know everything, but the truth is, I don’t, and I handled the situation wrong! Win or lose next week, I will make you all proud!

I love that he compared his actions to Muhammed Ali…um?? As Kermit said on SNL this past Saturday, “Really?”

    Great Job L.A. Reid! Sending him to bed without supper and hacking onto his Facebook page might help (not).

    Even his (L.A.’s) “apology” is the most insincere, coppin a ‘tude pile of shit backspeak. Fingers crossed for a KNOCKOUT in the fourth round fo Whaaaastro.

    Hah! Does anyone believe this kid wrote this bit of fluff? Comparing the boy to Ali? Well, I guess Ali changed his name too, so they share that much.

    Ugh. This kid truly is the worst.
