Mushnick issued a
statement to Village Voice's James King about the article, offering a cursory explanation of his original article.
"James - did you actually read what I wrote and what I've been writing for 30 years? I don't call black men niggas;
my kids never heard the word until folks such as Jay-Z came along. I'd suggest you talk to him about it. What I wrote today was on Jay Z's artistry, and only the wishful and foolish would so badly misinterpret and mischaracterize it as you plan to do. Thanks - mushnick."
