American R & B singer, Robert Kelly, apologised yesterady for attempting to censor journalists, his management said.
"We apologise for any misunderstanding this may have inadvertently caused," it said in a statement.
This follows reports that Kelly had forced journalists in a press conference to sign contracts preventing them from publishing any material that he had not approved.
The contract went as far as threatening journalists in breach of the contract with a R800 000 defamation law suit.
In its explanation, Kelly's management said that its censoring local media was a measure to stop media from misquoting the super star.
"Over the years we have found that the media have quoted R Kelly selectively or even misquoted him completely to create sensationalist publicity about him."
