While the 'Voice' judge admits his tweets were 'inappropriate' and 'deeply' apologizes, he insists they were 'never' hateful.

AceShowbiz - Blake Shelton is sorry for his extremely offensive tweets in the past. The country music crooner has come under fire after a series of his homophobic, racist and sexist messages resurfaced. They have been deleted but some have taken screenshots, and now they come back to haunt him.

"Everyone knows comedy has been a major part of my career and it's always been out there for anyone to see," he said. "That said anyone that knows me also knows I have no tolerance for hate of any kind or form. Can my humor at times be inappropriate? Yes. Hateful? Never. That said I deeply apologize to anyone who may have been offended."

Among his controversial tweets are jokes about date rape and sexual comments about a minor. He wrote in one post, "I think the bartender lastnight [sic] put some of that date rape drug in my drink ... OMG!! He was like so cute too!!!" "So I just figured out a great excuse for my sick fantasy about Dakota Fanning. I thought she was Amanda Seyfried ...," he posted in another, supposedly when Fanning was only 16.
