Tiziano Ferro, the guy who started a firestorm when he said all Mexican women had moustaches, says he’s VERY sorry about those comments. I guess my comment on the fact that without countries like Mexico, dumb pop stars like him wouldn’t have a career was true — he’s effectively lost his following in Mexico and he’s feeling quite bad about it — especially since he’s got a new album out.

According to People en Español, he points to his own “insecurity” as the motivation for the comments:

“The truth is there is no justification for what I did”, Ferro told Televisa Espectáculos. “[What I said] was because I am immature and insecure. The pressure of the live program made me feel very timid and I started to act like a clown so people would laugh because I’m very insecure”, explained the singer, who will release his new album Nadie está solo on June 27.

Cough. Ahem. Ah…his new album coincidentally comes out next week.

People en Español points out that some of the most serious repercussions of the infamous comments came when Mexico’s ANDA (National Performers Guild) demanded a formal apology from Tiziano.

Still, the pop star wants Mexico to give him another chance:

“I hope that you forgive me and that Mexico will give me another chance. I am a human being, I make mistakes and I made a mistake. We’ll see each other soon”, said the singer. “I will pay for this, I know. And no matter how long it takes for Mexicans to forgive me, I’ll be ready and waiting.”

Hilarious.
