AceShowbiz - Michael Rubin has set the record straight. Having landed in hot water for his "black hate on hate" comments, the Fanatics owner took to X, formerly Twitter, to clear the air.

"I got a phone call from one of the people I have the most respect for in the world - they told me while they appreciate my intention, it’s not my place to speak on black culture," the 52-year-old wrote on Thursday, August 15. "I get it and really appreciate the input!"

"My intention was to say how important it is that we need to uplift each other, stop hate on each other, and push each other to win, and always root for each other's success!" he added. "My bad , Much love and appreciate the feedback."

Rubin made the said remarks when defending Meek Mill from rumors about him sleeping with Sean "P. Diddy" Combs. During an interview with "The Breakfast Club", he said, "When I see the narrative of, a really good friend of mine like Meek, and people are trying to ...

"Number two, there's not a gay bone in his body, so why do people wanna lie about that?" Michael, who is also a Philadelphia native, continued. "Why do people want to change the narrative of a bet he made with me to hurt him?"

"That is the one thing I've learned about, you know, look, I'm just being blunt because it's me," he added, before blaming black culture that seems to celebrate putting each other down for the rumors. "It's the one thing I've learned about black culture that I don't like is that black hate on hate [sic]."
