The Indian-origin duo in Singapore, who posted a rap video containing offensive content on social media in response to a recent advertisement by an e-payment website, on Friday apologised for causing "unintentional hurt."
They also said that the message behind the music video was "that opportunities must be for everyone."
The duo clarified, "for that reason, K Muthusamy, well-known for his ability to address privilege, power and censorship in a single production in a light-hearted way, was selected as the face of this music video."
"He speaks to characters from all walks of life in Singapore, bringing home the point that only some people truly pay."
Law and Home Affairs Minister K. Shanmugam said that a line has to be drawn on videos that "attack another race."
