Lil Wayne’s dismissive stance on Black Lives Matter during an interview on ABC’s Nightline caused an uproar Wednesday, and it appears the 34-year-old is feeling the heat now that he’s apologized for offending anyone with his brash remarks concerning the civil rights group.
Weezy explained that his answers were said out of pure emotion following questions the interviewer asked about his 17-year-old daughter, Reginae Carter.
“When the reporter began asking me questions about my daughter being labeled a bitch and a hoe, I got agitated,” Weezy tells TMZ. “From there, there was no thought put into her questions and my responses.”
He added, “Apologies to anyone who was offended.”
The New Orleans rapper shouted out that Black lives mattered during his Lil Weezyana Fest set this year and hasn’t been shy about addressing politics in his past music.
Wayne’s interview went viral after he acted clueless as to what the Black Lives Matter movement is all about.
“I am a young black rich [muthafucka],” he told ABC reporter Linsey Davis. “If that don’t let you know that America understand black [bleeped out] matter these days, I don’t know what it is. That man white [points at cameraman]; he filmin’ me. I’m a [nigga]. I don’t know what you mean man. Don’t come at me with that dumb [shit], ma’am. My life matter. Especially to my [bitches].”
Twitter didn’t take to kindly to Wayne’s interview including Royce Da 5’9, 9th Wonder and comedian Andrew Schultz, who engaged in an online conversation concerning the logic behind the Young Money CEO’s remarks.
I like how Wayne gets pulled into a discussion and then has to apologise for giving his opinion. You BLM babies need to grow the fuck up and need to learn how a conversation works.
“Pulled in”? Did he not agree to do the conversation? Did he think they were gonna ask him about his favorite food and tv show? He’s 34. He’s not some unsuspecting kid getting manipulated by a veteran journalist. He’s eloquent and intelligent enough to express himself in a better way, but whenever the camera comes on he turns into this fake gangster, and says something dumb.
Your an idoit….find u some critical thinking
Find a dictionary and learn to spell.
had balls for five seconds and now has to apologize for it, lil wayne is such a bitch
Wayne is very messed up young man kissing a dude in the mouth who is not your father molested by this fake thug and then robbed of all your money you will never get ,these same people of BLM supported and gave you pity and you spit in there face when its all over you and baby will be broke together that’s the devil plan for all his followers
Fuck this shoe-shining c00n!
And lil’ Wayne gets chalked up on the list of bullshit media propaganda that will only make all of this racist bullshit that doesn’t make sense out more blacks in prison.

wayne he is still a snake
Ti should check his boi
cuz ti not a snake right? foh hes done commercials for the police
Looks like (((they))) made him apologise.
An artist/celeb has to apologise for some comment that deviated from the *official narrative*, boy why am i not surprise? Everytime this happens it proves how they are not really running shit but are nothing but puppets. Even Lil’Wayne.. no matter how rich etc he is.. ‘some people’ made him retract his comment and apologise. The ‘people’ who really run the music industry (and the entire entertainment industry). It’s like a shadow empire of a certain tribe. Behind the scenes, pulling the strings.. Makin their puppets dance in a way that fits their agenda. Google “Secret meeting that changed hiphop””. Same people were behind that. They dictate what kind of music gets put out by the labels, and look at what kinda content we get these days? Dumbed down “mumble rap” that promotes immoral behaviour and self-destructive lifesyle, materialism etc..?
Well said! Also if the question about his daughter offended him so much why not just stop the interview. Also as it was reported that during a concert he mentioned blm he seems silly. Maybe he should leave that syrup alone
im sorry if you commit a crime and blame rap you are just a sorry person.
Someone being attacked for speaking THEIR truth again. There is no bigger enemy to the black man than the black man.. Props to Wayne.
Word? Did you see the video that just surfaced of him yelling Black Lives Matter on stage not too long ago? So what’s really HIS “truth” then? He’s an idiot. And you sound crazy defending that we he can’t even defend it himself. He’s a new school dope fiend who can’t even remember what he says from day to day, but you think he’s speaking some “truth.”
dude said when they started asking about how he felt if somebody were to call his daughter a hoe or b**** how he’d feel and I think that those questions pissed him off and he no longer gave a f*** about the interview
No need to apologise for saying the truth. Wayne smart. He knows. F the BLM, F the EU, F the goverments, F organisation tryint to tell you who to fight for, what to fight for, what to do and how you live. F dat.
All lives matter. A man should stand for himself, his family and friends. He may step up for other people if only he wants to. F errybody else
he said it all, he is a rich black motherfucker, he is not racist he is smart thats why he said it. the rest of you black that dont agree are stupid and the real real racists. people from blacklivesmatter that dont even helpthe homeless in the streets. fuck all you racist black people.and fuck you and your race problems thatyou cause. black people should care more about real problems, poverty and health. and if you dont likeit go back to africa!
