Former “Love Island USA” star Alannah Keyser issued an apology to TikTok on Saturday after being kicked off the Peacock reality show for using the n-word in a resurfaced video.

The video shows Keyser rapping along to Roddy Ricch’s 2019 track “The Box” and singing the lyrics with the n-word.

“I’m coming on here to address some things that have been circulating online,” Keyser said. “I do want to begin by addressing the video of me singing along to a Roddy Ricch song that contains a racial slur. I’m sorry to whoever has seen that video and has been offended by it, that was never my intention. The video is from six years ago, and that word is just not in my vocabulary anymore.”
