AFP/法新社：

After drawing public criticism for lyrics deemed sexist and promoting drug use, one of China's best-known rappers has dug an even deeper hole by blaming the influence of "black music".

PG One came under fire after official media on Thursday highlighted lyrics from the 24-year-old rapper's 2015 song "Christmas Eve", in which he uses obscene language to boast about forcing himself on a woman.

The rapper responded later Thursday on social media with an apology, saying he was removing any offending songs from the internet, and promised to promote "positive energy" in his future work.

"The spirit of hip-hop should always be peace and love," said PG One, who rose to fame last year when he was declared champion of "The Rap of China", the country's wildly popular hip-hop reality show.

But he undercut any goodwill by saying on China's Twitter-like Weibo platform that "early exposure to hip-hop culture" and the "deep influence of Black music" were to blame for his vulgar lyrics.
