Well, I never… I’ve never… will.i.am… I’m putting you on my list of enemies.
The apology is worse than the mistake..
He really missed a trick by not just making all his apologies read “Wally.I.Am”
I moved to London after college to start a new job. The English guy I lived with couldn’t understand why I didn’t have a social security number. I told him I just had an Irish one.
He said “aren’t they the same country”. Ffs.
Plot twist, Will.I.Am actually also goes by Billy.I.Am, the reincarnation of a certain Orange-loving king.
Inspiring? He knows as much about it all as Nigel Farage ffs lol. Just leave it at opps and move on.

as bad as when the artists at Electric Picnic shout “Hello Dublin!”
I coulda swore he did the same at oxygen back in the day with black eyed peas
he apologized, also how did he cross a border without realising it surely he had to produce a passport at some stage. my question is did he actually go through customs
Is half this subs posts really just people seething at people ignorant about Ireland confusing it for the UK or some twat in the UK saying something mean about Ireland? please ignore this type of stuff. It really just makes everyone here look insecure all the time!
Plenty of multinational people I work with didn’t know anything about Northern Ireland v Ireland or Ireland not being in the UK when they initially came here.
I’ve seen it enough times to know it can be an honest mistake.
The guy publicly apologised and accepted he messed up, fair play I say.
I was there. It was cringey as hell. He did it twice or three times. Stuff like
‘ Irish girls are the best looking girls in the UK’
and
‘Galway audiences are the best in the UK’.
Everybody looking at each other going WTF? Crowd booing like crazy. Strange he didn’t pick up on his faux pas by the audience reaction the first time and kept repeating it.
Wasn’t a big deal though. Crowd forgave him pretty quickly. Great atmosphere. They had everyone going mental within a few seconds of coming onstage and kept the energy up all the way through. Shame they didn’t do an encore.
Lol what harm. I appreciate the fact that he apologized.
Yeah it was awkward. I laughed. Artists really need to briefed before going on stage.
Ah c’mon he seems genuinely sorry. He apologized numerous times.
Will.i.am felt inspired by the fight for Irish independence. He needs to do a remix of come out you black and tans
This is a celebrity i respect
Will I am? More like, will ya not.
I was saying boo-urns
An unfortunate mistake, but I can’t hate will.I.am. I’ve tried. I just love how useless he is and can be. Its entertaining because he’s so hyped about everything he does and science in general.
His apology is class to be fair, even saying Ireland fighting for independence is inspiring 😍😍😂
The rapper bbno$ in April said “oh it must be a UK thing” to the Irish crowed in the academy. I forget what he was talking about
Which differs somewhat from the time Public Enemy were playing in Redbox and started IRA chants.
At least he gave a pretty sincere apology. fair play.
Happened at the my chemical romance gig that was funny tho
Are you not supposed to address him as Will.you.are?
Will.i.am of orange is that you?
Did you awnser your two voice mails?
Guy is a fucking tube
Accepted his mistake, not a big deal.
Just saw the comments under a British news article about this and so many brits insisting we are in the UK. Then one yank trying to correct them saying they were irish and “we irish have been independent from Britain thanks to what sinn Fein did 50 years ago.”
Not sure if I was more annoyed by the Brits or the plastic.
Who?
will.i.am – world champion of bullshit
I work in one of the big tech companies and I have to explain EVERY. SINGLE. WEEK. that Ireland is not in the UK to international colleagues.
The UK is not taught a history which inlcudes us so I get why they are so ignorant.
But it doesn’t explain the rest of the world.
Anyone any ideas?
If Ireland has been independent longer than the majority of the world’s population i.e. there are few living people who recall Ireland being in the UK, then how or why does the world have collective amnesia?
