WASHINGTON DC: Hollywood star rapper Wiz Khalifa has said he does not bother if a lyric from his new song is labelled as "racist".

His new single 'Hot Now' recently invited controversy for its lyric "Smoke got my eyes lookin' Korean".

When asked about the same, Khalifa said, "And I also say I smoke like a Jamaican."

"And I also say I live like a white man. So chill out. I'm not a racist. I love all races," Page Six quoted Khalifa, as saying.

He also said that he doesn't feel sorry about the same as he loves Koreans.

"I have Korean friends that are not offended. I don't know those people who are saying that," he further added.

He is well known for his March 2015 release "See You Again" soundtrack from the film 'Furious 7' as it peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 for 12 non-consecutive weeks.
