John Mayer is out with a second video to his new single ‘Heartbreak Warfare’, the second release off the singer songwriter’s fourth album ‘Heartbreak Warfare’, out now on Columbia Records. Watch the live video via Vevo below.

‘Showbiz Tonight’ host A.J. Hammer took a look at the outrage over John Mayer’s choice of words during an interview, where the singer songwriter dropped the N bomb and suggested his heart is attracted to black women, but not his penis. The panel included Hammer, his co-host Brooke Anderson, 5DollarPrep.com’s Hyla and Carolina Bermudez of In Touch.

Asked if Mayer’s apology was too little, too late, Bermudez responded, “Well, apologies are always nice. But he shouldn’t have said it in the first place. I think John Mayer is so much smarter than this. And I’m really surprised at his lack of sensitivity, especially when he does have very great friends in the industry that have welcomed him, that have, you know, really given him that credibility that he is so looking for. So apology, great but you shouldn’t have said it.”

Hyla said he did have some sympathy for Mayer after the flak he’s received since the Playboy interview came out. “A little bit. I mean, here’s the situation where a lot of people are accusing John Mayer of being racist,” he explained. “I don`t think he’s racist. I think he’s just dumb. He didn’t say the word out of hate, out of anger. This isn’t a Michael Richard or a Mel Gibson situation. He said it out of ego. He thought he was cool enough and clever enough and he could say it. And obviously, he has it. If you look at the spirit of what he says, we all agree with it. He said, ‘I can`t say that word because I haven’t lived the life of an African-American.’ He just used the word and he’s dumped on for that. He’s not a racist and a lot of people are calling him that. And I think that’s where he`s getting a little sympathy from his fans and from me.”

John Mayer apologized at the Nashville show last night for his Playboy interview, where he used the N-word and said his penis “is sort of like a white supremacist.” Choking up, the singer songwriter told the audience, “I think it’s important that you know that everybody on the stage is here playing for me not because they condone what I say in any given interview, and certainly not in the interview that’s making the rounds today. They’re not on the stage because they support what I say, they’re on the stage because the support myself as a possible future grown-up. Maybe they see something that I haven’t looked at in awhile. So maybe I need to take a break from trying to be clever and just spend a little time looking at what they see, because they’ve done an unbelievable thing by standing on the stage and standing by my side playing tonight.” Watch Mayer’s comments to the audience and his band, which is largely African American, below.

MSNBC.com’s Courtney Hazlett discussed singer John Mayer’s puzzling remarks about race and romance as well as Heidi Montag’s plans for a new Playboy photo shoot during an appearance on MSNBC earlier today. “It’s confounding to me he would go on some sort of public forum and say this and not explain himself,” Hazlett said. “I don’t think there’s a good excuse for it.” Watch the report below.
