After igniting a firestorm over sexual and racial remarks he made in a Playboy interview, John Mayer issued an apology on his Twitter page Wednesday – for some of his comments.

“Re: using the ‘N’ word in an interview, I am sorry,” he Tweeted. “I should have never said the word and I will never say it again.”

Mayer used the slur when discussing whether he’s accepted by rappers like Jay-Z and Kanye West as one of their own.

“Someone asked me the other day, ‘What does it feel like now to have a hood pass?,’ ” Mayer told Playboy. “If you really had a hood pass, you could call it a n—- pass But I said, ‘I can’t really have a hood pass. I’ve never walked into a restaurant, asked for a table and been told, ‘We’re full.’ ”

The remark didn’t wash with his 3 million Twitter followers, who were unusually silent Wednesday. “They don’t make rehab centers for being an a-hole,” one wrote.

Mayer said nothing about his other controversial comments about his sex life with former flame Jessica Simpson – likening her to “sexual napalm” – but Simpson did appear to allude to them on her own Twitter page.

“Interesting day so far,” she wrote. “Hmm.”
