Nova Scotia Energy Minister has apologized after “harmful” rap lyrics from an old recording surfaced online, prompting calls for her resignation. The minister says she understands why the lyrics are offensive and says she takes responsibility for the content.
Multiple outlets report the recording was posted about 13 years ago and did not generate any revenue. Global News adds that the minister, 37, says it was never monetized. Other coverage focuses on the political fallout, noting that critics use the resurfacing of the lyrics to argue she should step down, while supporters and the minister point to the age of the recording and her stated intent to address the harm and clarify what happened.
