Kemmy apologizes over diss track amid public criticisms 

A rookie rapper Kemmy apologized for the diss track targeting 2NE1 member Park Bom as public criticisms escalated over the controversial track.

"I didn't realize it would draw this much attention. I'm very sorry to 2NE1 members and fans," she said.

Kemmy has been criticized after one of stylists for 2NE1 member Park Bom called out a rookie rapper online Monday for her recent diss track targeting Park.

The beauty coordinator posted on Instagram, saying “Anyone can do a diss track regardless of their capacity in hip-hop nowadays. How can someone that young be this rude to someone who is her senior?”

“She must be out of her mind. I guess she’s too eager to retire right after debuting,” she added. “If you want to diss someone, you should at least be at their same level.”

The stylist has since deleted the post.

Earlier this month, Kemy, a rapper with new girl group A.KOR, released the track “Do the Right Thing” as part of an online rap competition started by hip-hop artists P-Type and Huck P called “Do the Right Rap.” The track, which doesn’t call out Park by name, heavily alludes to the K-pop singer and her recent drug scandal.
