LA News Anchor Apologizes to Cardi B After Accusing Her of Promoting Violence at Protests

*A news anchor at Los Angeles’ CW-affiliate, KTLA has apologized to Cardi B for claiming she was trying to incite violence during protests over the death of George Floyd. 

On Tuesday, Doug Kolk tweeted an apology for taking her “words out of context.”

“I apologize to @iamcardib if I took her words out of context,” Kolk wrote. “I respect her for using her platform to connect with people during these difficult times and it was wrong of me to not let her full voice be heard.”

We previously reported, Cardi took time out of her quarantine to address the violent police killing of Floyd and the nightly protests in its wake.

The rapper says she doesn’t want to see people hurt, but she says, “At this point, I feel like I’m against it., even though it do scare me.”

On Friday, she posted a video on Instagram in which she expressed her outrage over the rioting. 

“Seeing people looting and going extremely outraged, it makes me feel like ‘Yes! Finally! Finally, mothafuckers is gonna hear us now. Yeah!'” Cardi said. “And as much as people is so against it, at this point, I feel like I’m not against it even though it do scare me and I don’t want anybody to get hurt. … People are tired. They’re tired of showing that it’s like, ‘Oh, motherfucker are educated, motherfucker could take the grown and adult way and act peaceful.’ People are tired of that. So now this is what people have to resort to.”
