Just weeks after giving the type of interview that readers love and publicists hate, Quincy Jones is now apologizing for what he said. For instance, Jones told Vulture he once dated Ivanka Trump and called Paul McCartney “the worst bass player I ever heard.” He also trashed Taylor Swift’s songwriting abilities. Among those offended were Michael Jackson’s father, Joe Jackson, who was angered when Jones called the King of Pop a song thief. The full statement appears below, but it may be best summed up with this sentence. “I am sorry to anyone whom my words offended & I’m especially sorry to my friends who are still here with me & to those who aren’t.”
