Korean pop sensation Psy ate his anti-American words this week, said USA Today. The “Gangnam Style” rapper shook hands with President Obama at the “Christmas in Washington” ceremony just days after it emerged that Psy had rapped about killing “f---ing Yankees” during an anti-war concert in 2004. “Kill them all slowly and painfully,” he reportedly sang. A contrite Psy released a statement this week saying that he would “forever be sorry for any pain I have caused by those words.”
