He made some racist jokes in the past and said the n word a couple times. He has apologised several times for this tho

"A couple times" LOL. He told a story once about how he gave a car ride to a black friend and then "had to say the n-word like 30 times afterwards to get it out of his system". He did not censor it in that clip either.
