Gina Rodriguez has issued an apology for her using the N-word in a recent post to her Instagram Stories. In the since-deleted video, the Annihilation actress is seen reciting the Lauryn Hill-sung lyrics to "Ready or Not" by Fugees.
After facing backlash online, Rodriguez removed the video and issued an apology stating, "I just wanted to reach out and apologize. I'm sorry. I am sorry if I offended anyone by singing along to the Fugees, to a song I love that I grew up on. I love Lauryn Hill and I really yam sorry if I offended you."

“I’m sorry IF I offended anyone”. “By singing along to the Fugees”. This is an example of someone being deliberately obtuse. Gina Rodriguez KNOWS she offended people, not for singing a song but for saying the N-word. If the apology is going to be insincere, just keep quiet.
