NEW YORK, June 4 (UPI) -- In a video released by TMZ Wednesday, Justin Bieber is captured singing a racist parody of his song One Less Lonely Girl, replacing the word "girl" with the n-word.
Bieber and his team reportedly told TMZ that the singer endorsed the release of the video because "he wants to own what he did." He was reportedly was 14-years-old when the parody was filmed.
"If I kill you, I'll be part of the KKK and there will be one less lonely [expletive]," sings Bieber in the video.
Bieber's team said that many people who have seen the video have tried to extort him for money. The Canadian pop star said he won't be shaken down and feels the release of the video will force him to accept responsibility for his actions.
Another video was released Sunday showing the singer making a racist joke on camera.
"I was a kid then and I am a man now who knows my responsibility to the world and to not make that mistake again," said Bieber in a statement.
