Rapper Macklemore has apologised for any offence caused after he wore a costume which some people described as anti-Semitic during a performance in Seattle.

The musician wrote on his website that he randomly chose the clothing so he could disguise himself and move freely around during the secret show on Friday.

He said that it wasn't meant to be a caricature of a Jewish man.
