California rapper and self-proclaimed based God, Lil B turned to MTV’s Rap Fix to clarify comments he made earlier this week regarding the death of Osama bin Laden.
Unlike many Lil B seemed to take a more sympathetic approach when addressing the death of Bin Laden. This of course led to a firestorm of comments both online and off.
“[Just] because they say osama is dead [doesn’t] mean that’s a good thing osama has family to that probably loves him alot as well – Lil B,” said the rapper on Twitter following news of Bin Laden’s death.
In his interview with Rap Fix, Lil B explained that he wasn’t too aware of the situation with Bin Laden and that he tries to never be too judgmental.
“Thank you for bringing that up because I think this is a topic I really wanted to address on the broad scale. Really with that it’s because first thing I haven’t been too informed on the Osama bin Laden situation,” Lil B explained to MTV. “When I like to get information I like to have a hundred percent truth. Before I even say something I like to really know what I’m talking about. First, I wasn’t looking. I haven’t really been paying attention to it…I wanted to know what drove Osama bin Laden to feel this way. Say for instance someone does something wrong to you there’s a reason behind stuff. Hate crimes, there’s a reason a behind that. Just the person that I am I like to sometimes take a deep breath and assess before I judge.”
Lil B went on to share that he’s quite the pacifist and does not support violence or war.
“I don’t support violence at all. I don’t support war,” said Lil B. “I don’t support anything that’s negative like that where people are against people with killing…No one deserves to die.”
First
My dude!!!!
THIS NIGGA WHACK !!!
People like Lil B don’t live in reality. They make these comments thinking it makes them look smart when it’s just the opposite. You can rightfully question the circumstances surrounding Bin Laden’s death, but don’t try and inject humanity into it. All those families of 9/11 who lost their loved one’s and were supposed to feel sympathy for Bin Laden’s family? Not a chance.
you sound so gay please eat the nearest dick
ahahahaha, oh shit that’s great!
Nico 3 sadly people like you absolutely and completely miss the point.
The main point that we in the west try to make, is that’ we’re so much better and more civilized than people in say, the middle east.
We shake our heads about their politics, we shake our heads at the way they live and we shake our heads when they cheer on the streets when americans soldiers are killed.
Now, we see the EXACT same shit going on from OUR own court. And the problem with that is that we got people like you saying “why should we care about his family when he didn’t care about the 3000 dead?”
Do you not see what you’re doing right there my dude? You’re putting yourself on that same, uncivilized level.
Like, we go around boasting about how much better we are and blase bla… Yet when push come to shove we’re just as uncivilized and ignorant.
Basically that just shows how motherfucking ignorant every damn people in the world is… I was disgusted when I saw the college kids running around the cities cheering that another man is dead.. NOT because I feel like Osama is good or anything, but because we show how uncivlized and barbaric we are, ourselves.
We should not rejoyce.. Osama, 9/11, the war.. None of that shit is to cheer about my friend. All of that is just very depressing and sad.. So when a henious man dies, we should not rejoyce, we should REMEMBER. We should be brought back to that time, and never forget what has happened.
But when you laugh, and cheer and party when a man just got killed? That just goes to show how detached from real world YOU are patna…
You illiterate fuckers who condone violence need to kill ya self if you look at all the building’s that went down they went down demolition style not because of two fucking airplanes so if you ask me its deeper than what the u.s made you believe some body had to cover up there tracks so to hell with y’all saying it was because of bin laden no go after Bush and Chaney….
Us as a society as become lazy to the point were we just accept everything told to us as truth, sad.
he is actually right ppl jus hate on him because he is lil b
Lil B = Likes Intimately Licking Balls
So they took the lives of inocent iraqi trying to find weapons of mass destruction..there should be a billion dollar bounty on bush’s head
civilian casulties in any war are bound to happen those r just the facts, ur telling me the world/Iraq isnt a better place without saddam? nd on that note obama bombed libya but not syria where there murdering ppl in the streets why? oil..no president is innocent, they make the decisions we cant and thats why all of them are criticized no matter what they do.
this guy is a jackass…and fuck bush but the guy below me is a jackass too
He’s right 4real he talkin truth. How many ppl even really know why bin ladin did that shyt, it wasn’t right but im sure he didnt hate us for noything. Just like we didnt hate him for nothing, but I’m sure we proly started it.
One word: God.

Don’t like this guy but I have to agree with what he’s saying. People nowadays think you can stop hate with hate. Bin Laden may not deserve to live but what’s even more disgusting is we celebrate somebodies death (we’re setting a great example right?) & you think we want peace & love?? lol. Politics have always been nothing but a big controversy and scandal all drawn on hate, lies & fear. I’m not trying to get into politics (seems to be more opinions than facts when it comes to that subject)but how many times has propaganda caused the same outcome of war & killing?? I think it’s in our human nature to hate & be violent though, I’m just wondering what the life would be like if we actually didn’t hate one another so much & believed in equality (but I guess that’s what the religious people call even)
correction::: call heaven

Lil’ B seems dumber every time he speaks.
this proves he should keep his mouth shut in two things, Politics and rapping..
Wow, the ignorance on this site is really shining through with this article.
Are you guys SERIOUSLY suggesting that killing Bin Laden was the wrong thing to do? Get the FUCK outta here with that bullshit.
who isn’t ignorant? or are you suggesting you’re perfect?
actually everybody dies, therefore they deserve to die. haha REAL TALK! lol
OBVIOUSLY Lil B’s knowledge is FAR SUPERIOR than all of yalls! Yall are so fuckin primitive! Yall enjoy the death of another human being like fuckin animals thirsty for blood! Lil B is A Superior Being! His Knowledge has NO LIMITS! Osama was such a couragous person to go against the US. He was an honest man. AMERICA IS BABYLON! R.I.P Osama Bin Laden. Lil B is GOD! Lil B 4 Prezident! Omg! SwagSwag! BasedGod! Pretty Bitch!
Rest In Peace Osama Bin Laden. LIL B THA BASEDGOD 4 PREZIDENT! BASEDGOD! SwagSwag!
Then kill yourself you fucktard. Never be embarrased about who you are, especially your ethnicity.
So people freak out and get mad if freddie gibbs questions OBLs death talking about how uneducated he is but when lil b speaks his opinion about this shit ppl agree with him wholeheartly, saying hes being intelligent and even defend him….i swear some of u are hypocrites.
What do you mean??
Wtf are u talking about??
Lil B deserves to die…
Ha Ha Ha, you silly silly chap. OBVIOUSLY you haven’t listened to real heavenly music such as Lil B’s. He has died for your sins you foolish hobnocker. Convert and repent my young padawan! If not, die! Lil B OMg! SwagSwag!
Hella people take it out of context just listen to what he said and find the truth behind it. All he was sayin was think before you judge, which is what most of yall niggas are doin the opposite of anyways. And he was right even tho osama deserved to die, he had family too mayne
only bitch emotion here is caring about osama and his family… he had multiple wives! multiple children possible! does he think about all of them? nahh dude was living with his youngest wife.. he hates a whole country for maybe a legitimate reason like maybe us killing his innocent people for oil, but the reason he gave is that it was a vision from god and that allah told him to do it, making the us categorize all muslims into extremist. that my friend is a peice of shit human being and i could care less about him. Lil B is a fuken retard. if he doesnt like to speak before he gets “fully informed,” on such a matter which you would learn if you payed attention to life, then he shouldnt of wrote it on a site where billion+ people have the potential of reading it.
Controversy sells..
Can nobody see through Lil B’s motives?
This guy is just retarded. About as dumb as DMX saying he does not know who Obama is. At least DMX is a self confessed crack head.
HHH –
You’re right… The US doesn’t understand other countries and how they live, but when you have organizations like Al Qaeda whose sole purpose is to destroy your country, unfortunately, caring about the enemy becomes something that just isn’t realistic. Could you imagine the wife of a 19 yr old soldier who just died overseas being asked to try and see it from the other perspective. There is no other perspective. That’s thanks to 9/11. If that never would have happened, maybe there would be more compassion for human life around the world. It’s too bad we’ll never know.
lil b eli porter
lil b weeeetarded lol
lol, lil b knows publicity, naming his album “im gay” making music titling figures that are relevent such as justin beiber, ellen degenerous, dr phil, free lil wayne, jesus, and now this comment about osama’s death.
Lil B says “haven’t been too informed on the Osama bin Laden situation”…you never heard of 9/11? What a dumbass!
no one deserves death except lil b and osama. we got one down. the reason he isn’t informed is one he was fuckin 10 years old during 9/11 and he doesn’t know what the news is much less watch it. he probably didn’t know who osama was until this happened. he just copied Mendenhall. also lil b you fuckin retard a hate crime is done because someone discriminates against another’s race or religion. there really isn’t a legitimate reason for it except people are stupid assholes.
No one deserves to die, huh?
Well, let me ask this question. If someone broke into your mother’s house and murdered her, would you want that person to die or are you going to let him go because “he has family”?
Same principles surrounding Osama and 9/11.
Ummm, kinda but not really.
Your example is what they call a “Straw Man Argument”. Google it.
Regardless, let’s take your example:
A guy murders your wife and you want him to die.
Okay, fair enough.
However, what if the guy murdered your wife because she had played a role in the murder of all of his relatives?
According to YOUR principle, this justifies him killing your wife. I didn’t say it, you did.
Anyways, y’all need to check out http://WWW.IAMGRISSY.COM…ya might learn something…
@IAM, that was a goddamn good point
You got a point there, but it looks like you took my words out of context. According to your case, what did we do to Osama that made him want to attack us? I don’t recall anybody from the US killing Osama’s family/relatives before 9/11. So Osama didn’t have a reason to justify killing thousands of innocent people on 9/11. And after it happened, he was our main target for revenge. That’s the point I was trying to make.
killin people from the middle east for oil
What did America do to Osama?! HAHA! Wow, the level of ignorance in some Americans is insane! Perhaps all the years of oppression? The thousands of INNOCENT people who have died in the middle east due to American “Occupation”. Yes Osama was a tyrant who deserved all he got but my god open your eyes! Also @IAM, very good point.
I AM GAY
To whoever just posted “I AM GAY”, I think you got me confused with Lil’ B.
I forgive you, though.
Anyways, the whole point was to expand your ideas surrounding the situation in the Middle East beyond what you get from our “fair an balanced” news coverage over here in the West.
To save you the time of having to research everything for yourself, I got you covered…

“When I like to get information…”
I stopped reading after that
RIP OSAMA BIN LADEN! We all know you are now restin in Based Heaven with alot of bitches to fuck. BasedGod has acknowledge you and your courage of standin up against the bully nation of America! Omg! Swag! BasedGod!
faggot-nigga talkin’ all that shit
Osama Bin Laden died in 2001 of Marfan Syndrome. They’ve just waited for the right political time to release his death. Now Obama is seen as extra american at a time when he has to prove his nationality, and is now seen as the president who ‘got him’ just at the time when his popularity is getting lower. It’s all a game.
yo u must be smokin some of that weed lodi dadi was growin at his compound when us soldiers killed him this year
the first comment is Truth!
IAM:
It’s weird how if an everyday citizen saw his wife mugged and went and killed the person responsible, he’d be arrested and convicted. Yet, we send soldiers over to these countries with the intent of killing untold numbers of people. Revenge is a good concept in movies, but in real life, there are consequences, for people and countries.
Exactly.
Me and a couple of homies were talking about this EXACT situation the other day.
This whole “eye for an eye” shit evidently hasn’t worked out for EITHER side so I can’t comprehend why we (both sides) keep locked into the cycle. It truly defines the word “insane”.
Lil B is like a one trick pony..He makes an dumb ass statement,backpedals and then goes all New Age on us because that’s how he wants to come across..garden variety cliches and stuff..all for the sake of press releases..a lot of people lost loved ones on 9/11…this clown makes a mockery of their memory with those quotes..how can you use words like pacifist and have an anti war/violence stance when you don’t even know wtf you talking about..that’s like having an opinion but no argument to defend it..and don’t get me started with these based God groupies,y’all say the most ingorant,Godless,stripped of morals and honour shit I heard in a minute..but to each his own…raise your kids like that and have fun with em..
An excerpt;
“I’d also like to note that I’m well aware that terrorists are considered “radical†for a reason and acknowledge the fact that they present a true danger to the well-being of many innocent civilians…but it still doesn’t mean we have to raise our kids in the dark.
That said, do you think our lovely news networks are out there trying to nourish any sort of understanding or knowledge as far as foreign relations go?
HELL MUTHAFUCKIN’ NO!
Instead, we’re served up a platter of aerial shots of mass gatherings with Americans waving flags and chanting “U.S.A! U.S.A!†while the ticker tape running along the bottom of the screen gloriously and triumphantly states Bin Laden Killed!
They even make the whole thing sound like a video game with covert and highly-skilled Navy Seals dropping in on dual helicopters to complete a “Kill Missionâ€.
The most disturbing piece of footage I caught was of a teenage girl, clearly caught up in the hype and pandemonium, shallowly declaring “This is so cool!â€.
Cool? Really? Maybe if she thought about, or was even aware of the 20,000+ people that have been killed in Afghanistan since 2001 things wouldn’t be so “coolâ€. Maybe if she saw a stack of bloody bodies being thrown like worthless pieces of garbage into a mass grave, things wouldn’t be so “coolâ€. I paint this picture not to be gruesome, but to be REAL because that’s how it is. This isn’t a Hollywood movie. This has nothing to do with “cool 
Well said. That’s exactly what everyone with more than 10 brain cells is thinking.
There are always going to be idiots who say death is cool. Hopefully those people never breed, but anyway… If you think about it, the reason people get all rah rah is because President Obama goes on TV and sells us the same bullshit Bush did. He needs to be re-elected, which he will, so out comes the birth certificate. Then news that Bin Laden is dead. What’s on tap for next week, closing down Tijuana? For all intensive purposes, Obama is Bush, just with more Twitter followers.
