The 1975‘s Matty Healy has addressed the controversy surrounding his look on The Adam Friedland Present in February.
Healy was broadly criticised on-line again in February for his look on the podcast, throughout which he made numerous inflammatory feedback about ladies and mentioned how he believes Harry Kinds “will get a cross” on criticism over alleged “queer-baiting”.

After the interviewer instructed that “possibly” it does occur, he continued: “If it does, you’re both deluded or you might be, sorry, a liar.
“You’re both mendacity that you’re damage, otherwise you’re a bit psychological for being damage. It’s simply folks going, ‘Oh, there’s a nasty factor over there, let me get as near it as potential so you’ll be able to see how good I’m.’ And I sort of need them to do this, as a result of they’re demonstrating one thing so base degree.”

Whereas speaking to the gang about how he hadn’t absolutely grasped the implications of his personal fame, he took the chance to apologise to Ice Spice.
“I simply really feel a bit dangerous, and I’m sort of a bit sorry if I’ve offended you. Ice Spice, I’m sorry,” he mentioned. “It’s not as a result of I’m irritated that me joking obtained misconstrued. It’s as a result of I don’t need Ice Spice to assume I’m a dick. I like you, Ice Spice. I’m so sorry.
He continued: “I don’t need something like that misconstrued to be imply. I don’t thoughts being a little bit of a joker… It’s OK for me to be, like, a trickster or no matter, however I don’t wish to be seen as, like, being barmy. As a result of truthfully, I simply love you guys, and I like doing this…
“The reality is it’s a little bit of an issue as a result of I simply wish to say, “Hey. This can be a bit embarrassing. I’m sorry if I get it mistaken. All of us get it mistaken.” I simply should do it in public after which apologise to Ice Spice. My life’s only a bit bizarre. I’m genuinely sorry if I’ve upset her as a result of I fucking love her.”
