The 1975‘s Matty Healy has publicly apologised to Ice Spice over controversial comments he made on a podcast earlier this year.Healy was widely criticised online back in February for his appearance on The Adam Friedland Show, during which he discussed how he believes Harry Styles “gets a pass” on criticism over alleged “queer-baiting”.

Friedland and co-host Nick Mullen then discussed the New York rapper’s heritage, debating whether she has Hawaiian, Inuit or Chinese, before impersonating the accents of those countries and regions.While Healy didn’t participate in the mocking of accents, he did laugh along with the podcast hosts.

The episode has since been taken down.Yungblud was among those who called out Healy online in the aftermath. In a now-viral tweet appearing to reference the podcast, Yungblud wrote: “Love listening to three privileged white dudes sit around and objectify a young black female artist who’s blowing up.

Welcome to your 30’s, I guess.”Almost two months on, however, Healy addressed the controversy on stage in Auckland as part of a show on the band’s ‘At Their Very Best’ tour.
