The 15-year-old wrote to his 17.8 million followers to defend himself and explain he would never sing that word.

He wrote: "Hi guys, recently a video from last summer has gotten out of me dancing and singing a song whilst singing the word 'neighbour' over the n word."

"I would truly never say the n word and I'm not the type of person. I genuinely have never used that word in my life, using the word 'neigbour' in that song was just something my camp friends and I did."

"I hope you all understand I could never even think about doing that. My friends also would never post a video, or support me, if I was saying that slur without hesitation."

"I apologise for using a replacement word. It is not my place to use one and I should [have] kept my mouth shut."

"I understand why it is found offensive and I am so sorry."

The resurfaced video caused fans to post a #NoahSchnappIsOverParty and discuss his cancellation online, many also joking about his 'half-hearted' apology statement.

This comes just weeks after the actor's Twitter account was hacked and several offensive posts were shared, including one that included the n-word.

However, within half an hour of these being posted, they were all deleted.
