Yahoo News WATCH Love Island's Chris Hughes uses the n-word in shocking Instagram video
Chris Hughes has stunned fans after he filmed himself using the n-word and posted it to girlfriend Olivia Attwood’s Instagram page at the weekend.
The Love Island star is singing along to Drake’s hit song ‘The Motto’ in the shocking clip, which was swiftly deleted.
After attending the QIPCO British Champions Day race at the Ascot racecourse on Saturday, Chris and Olivia headed to a club that evening, which is when Chris rapped along to the expletive lyrics.

He says in the video: “N**** money talks and Mr. Ed! Yeah! I’m so young money got a drum on the gun.
“Energiser bunny, funny how honey ain’t sweet like sugar, ain’t shit sweet n***** on the street like hookers.”
The 25-year-old is joined by Olivia in the clip, who sticks her tongue out but doesn’t rap along to the offensive song.

After seeing the video, outraged fans took to social media to slam Chris for using the n-word:
Sorry but Chris Hughes is a grown man. I'm actually disappointed, but he's officially cancelled now

Why are people even tryna defend the fact Chris Hughes said the N word? If you're not black you shouldn't say at all.

Chris Hughes using the n word is a prime example of when white people get TOO comfartable around black ppl thinking they can do whatever nah

How long until Chris Hughes' PR team send out a scripted apology statement where he pretends to not know it would cause offence

Neither Chris or Olivia have commented on the controversy and Yahoo Celeb UK have contacted their reps for comment.
This is just the latest scandal for 25-year-old Chris, who released his first rap single with Love Island co-star Kem Cetinay just a few weeks back, with the star also being embroiled in high-profile spats with both Lethal Bizzle and Katie Price since finding fame on the ITV2 reality show.
Bizzle hit out at Chris and Kem for not crediting him in their song ‘Little Bit Leave It’ despite the fact he is the one who coined the phrase, and Katie and Chris have been locked in a bitter war of words since Chris denied texting the former glamour model and dubbed her “desperate”.

Chris mocked Katie for consistently messaging him without him replying but Katie later hit back and reportedly showed 52 flirty messages from the star to the media at her latest perfume launch.
Slamming “immature” Chris, Katie predicted that the star’s career will go down the drain if he doesn’t admit to sending the messages.
She said last week: “I will not be called a liar. I wish he will just leave it – who cares? Just don’t call me a liar when I’m not.

“He’s piping on about it – means you’re guilty… Remember Gareth Gates? He lied and as soon as it came out, his career went downhill.
“I’ve been in the industry for 23 years. I’ve never had such tit for tat. He’s very immature when it comes to the media, he isn’t very media savvy.”
