Rap mogul Diddy apologized Tuesday for a racist and homophobic rant Saturday night at an Atlanta nightclub.
After first posting on his Twitter page that, "I said what u had to say and that's the way I feel. Right or wrong...," Diddy, 41, quickly softened his stance. "I'm a child [of] God and I should be better no matter what somone [sic] says to me. I'm sorry for the ignorant way I repesented [sic] myself and us. To all my childen of God ... I have backslid and regressed. Forgive me for my ignorance. Pray for me pls. I know better and I am better."
Diddy had been caught on video at the BET Hip Hop Awards afterparty at the club Compound, screaming over a microphone at someone with a bottle of Grey Goose vodka -- rather than Ciroc, which he endorses.
TMZ identified Diddy's target as music industry consultant Ricky Parker.
Diddy's spokeswoman did not reply to a request for comment.
