Earlier today, we told you that Karrueche Tran was under fire for making a not-so-nice joke about Blue Ivy’s hair during a recent “106 and Park” appearance. Karrueche quickly took to Twitter to defend herself, stating that the joke was simply a part of the script. Now, BET’s President of Music Programming and Specials, Stephen G. Hill is apologizing on behalf of the network as well.
The next 4 tweets should be read as one.
