The Supreme Court of Canada says comedian Mike Ward's comments about a disabled singer did not amount to discrimination under Quebec's rights charter.

"I had no choice but to fight," said Ward in a Friday evening reaction video posted to social media. "I think I did what any comedian should do, what any comedian must do."

The comedian said he was "relieved" by the Supreme Court's ruling which, in a In a 5-4 split decision Friday morning, ruled Ward had the right to make fun of Jeremy Gabriel, a former child singer with a disability.  

"It's a big day for me ... I'm not happy to have won, I am relieved, there's a difference," said Ward, "Jeremy, if you’re listening, good luck in your life. I wish you joy and success."
