Story highlights The rapper faced backlash for NRA interview

He says he supports student activists

(CNN) Killer Mike posted two videos Sunday apologizing for a video interview he did with the National Rifle Association.

The rapper, who was born Michael Render, had faced backlash after NRA TV shared the piece on the same day the March For Our Lives rallies were held across the country. Killer Mike said the interview had been shot a week before.

Well known for his political and social activism, the rapper has frequently spoken out on various topics including police brutality.

In the NRA video, he criticized National School Walkout Day -- in which students left classes to pay tribute to the 17 people killed at Florida's Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School a month earlier and to demand stricter gun control laws.

Killer Mike said in the video he posted on social media Sunday that he supports the youth-driven gun control movement.
