Lil Wayne is apparently still reeling from his nightmare Nightline interview and has fired his publicist for allowing the whole ordeal to go down, TMZ has learned.
Weezy supposedly didn’t even want the interview where he disassociated himself from Black Lives Matter to be released and he had his team send multiple emails to ABC News to block the interview. The network never responded and the program was made public against their wishes. The New Orleans MC said reporter Linsey Davis overstepped her boundaries with questions that were not pre-approved, specifically with a question about his daughter. In his apology for his Black Lives Matter comments, Wayne says he was disoriented from the inappropriate question.
ABC News answers the reports by saying that none of the questions were off limits and the intention was for the segment to be a tell-all interview.
Tunechi’s comments saying “My life matter,” after going on a tirade about the Black Lives Matter movement, received criticism from across social media. Jeezy stopped short of defending Lil Wayne, but said he could understand how the superstar would be isolated from the problems that Black Lives Matter seeks to address.
You’re in the industry 20 years and blaming publicist because you can’t answer questions?
Who cares! BLM movement you don’t see BLM ppl going into neighborhoods standing up to the drug dealers and gangbangers.
Jeezy weak for trying to defend that bullshit.
I hope this deads his career, at the very least it’ll pop the lean bubble hes trapped in and he’ll go back to making good music again. Blaming hes publicist is such a bitch nigga move. Thats like me talkin shit over gang niggas and deading my brother for lettin me talk shit
So Wayne makes controversial comments, and blames somebody else for it and fires them? Tell Jeezy I think Wayne understands being black better than he thinks…bitch move by Wayne, if that’s how you feel fuckin own that shit like man. The black community will forget, I mean they are voting for a president that called them super predators
the problem is giving this pendejo a microphone if it aint for rapping
Shout out to my dawg Weezy baby!
Lean is a helluva drug
So it’s his publicist’s fault that he’s a fucking ignorant, uneducated, out of touch piece of shit? Got it.
what problems have been addressed by black lives matter ? none except incite violence and riots in the name of for the most part exception to a couple isolated cases in which there was still no evidence of racism criminals breaking the law. they will meet the fate of the black panthers and the kkk and be considered a terrorist fringe organisation as any race supremacy group inciting violence should
Nothing. It is being completely ignored and discarded by the mainstream just like anything else that does not promote white supremacy.
Just proves this overrated rapper is more past it than we already thought.
We see right through you lil wayne you are one ignorant confused junkie !
As much as anyone hates to admit it, Lil Wayne is right. If you’re black and have the drive, you can go places: President, multimillionaire athletes and actors, influential music artists. It might suck to know odds are against the black man due to decades of racism, but neither is it an excuse.
Ignoring the fact that he’s trying to take back much of what he’s said, Lil Wayne didn’t really go that far to say all that. And even if he did, no one’s saying that blacks don’t have the potential to be successful. Everyone has the potential to be successful in life, regardless of race. But harboring the potential to be successful and actually becoming successful are two very different things. There’s no guarantee, no matter how hard one tries. Otherwise we’d all be living on easy street. There are studies that have been conducted that demonstrate that due to hierarchy and socioeconomic standards, minorities such as blacks have a harder achieving success in spite of their tenacity, hard work, and drive. Its for that very reason we celebrate so much when a black man such as Lil Wayne or Barack Obama do manage to attain such a high level of success and placement in the world at large. Get what I’m saying?
he made a clear statement on vid, the rest, like this article above, is unproven bs from ppl who wasnt even there.
just accept the fact that ur church nigga movement creates more hate than unity and thats why ppl dont want to get involved with it.
He was anything but clear. Like always, he was inarticulate as hell and, like always, sounded really stoned out. All those years of sipping on drank have clearly taken their toll. Don’t do drugs kids.
Lil Wayne is right when you start asking me questions about his daughter his publicist went over board that’s way to far reaching so excuse my French like wtf if he don’t want to involve his child one must respect that as a father he has The right to do an any one elese in the camp should take notes.
I mean, I can understand when a father gets angry about inapproriate remarks about his daughter, but this is no excuse. His answers were just dumb. Plain and simple.
