(KTLA) -- Guitar legend Carlos Santana has issued an apology for recent controversial comments he made during one of his concerts. On Thursday, a video surfaced of Santana going on a bit of a rant during a concert last month in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

"Because a woman is a woman and a man is a man. That’s it. Whatever you wanna do in the closet, that’s your business.
