TORONTO - The City of Toronto is apologizing for the "inappropriate'' language a rapper used during his performance at a Canada 150 concert at Nathan Phillips Square.
Some revellers took to social media Monday to complain about what they said was repeated use of profanities by Belly, an Ottawa musician.
In a post Tuesday, the city's special events account tweeted an apology for what it called "inappropriate content'' during the closing performance.
But Belly has been defending himself on social media, posting various tweets denouncing censorship and promoting freedom of expression.
The rapper says organizers were aware his performance would contain profanities.
Belly was the final performer of the four-day celebrations, which ended with fireworks Monday night.
