Larry Wilmore has been criticized for using the N-word to address President Obama during his White House Correspondents’ Dinner speech, but he wants to make sure people know which version of the controversial word he used.

Piers Morgan, who Wilmore called a “professional Beyoncé disliker” on his Comedy Central show Monday, tweeted that “Larry Wilmore calling President Obama a “n—er” made the whole world cringe.”

The “Nightly Show” host explained that he said “n–ga,” and Morgan needs to properly conjugate.

“Are you saying I called the president a n—er? OK, that’s horrible. I would never do that. I believe I said, ‘Yo Barry you did it my n–ga.’ There is a difference,” Wilmore explained. “Piers, you did not properly conjugate that slur.”

Wilmore went on to explain the differences between the two versions of the racially charged word.
