Following Lil Wayne’s controversial comments concerning the Black Lives Matter movement during an interview with Nightline where he dismissed the organization, family friend and frequent collaborator of Wayne, T.I. publicly challenged the Young Money rapper over the interview (along with all of Twitter).
“I KNOW you wired a bit different than most other responsible adults, but still nigga U TRIPPING!!!!” Tip wrote in a lengthy Instagram post. “I don’t know what you goin thru, or what you are attempting to avoid but this shit is absolutely unacceptable!!!! You’re disrespecting yourself, bringing shame on your family name & tarnishing your legacy.”
T.I. took the time to clarify his response to Wayne during a sit-down interview on Sway’s Universe. He explains that his children showed him the interview and his reaction was natural as he considers Tunechi to be a family friend.
“One thing I will not do, I ain’t gonna let nobody sit around and bash bro,” the Atlanta rap star says. “I feel like I have that relationship with him where I can say that. I’m not gonna sit around and listen to nobody else say that. However he feel about me saying that, me and him we can deal with that when we see each other. He still a legend, he still in my eyes one of the greatest to ever do what we do. In a way, I kind of did it so the people wouldn’t be able to do it. I felt like everything I said I said out of love and I used Instagram as a forum because it was such a public matter. It wasn’t really me speaking to him as much as it is speaking to the kids I know that’s following him.”
Weezy’s daughter, Reginae Carter, questioned T.I. for using social media to address the matter instead of discussing the issue with her father in private.
The New Orleans-bred spitter eventually apologized for his words and also fired his publicist in the process.
“When the reporter began asking me questions about my daughter being labeled a bitch and a hoe, I got agitated,” Weezy told TMZ. “From there, there was no thought put into her questions and my responses. Apologies to anyone who was offended.”

Fuck this ignorant little felon who made his fortune off of glorifying violence and selling drugs to his own people.
Fuck you man move was a straight bitch move just to promote your bullshit letters and new black supremacist album you keep touting off about hypocrtical dipshit how you go from killing your people and selling them crack to being a savior?
Fake ass dude! So you wanna live on both side’s of the fence for real you just falling off drowning grasping for air cause fame done passed you….
You are dumb
Will this washed up snitch ever shut up nobody cares about yo bullshit mane
this nigga’s woman left him for his main enemy. let that sink in for a moment lol
Who the fuck this guy think he is – Martin Luther Kang or some shit fuck outchea with all this politics talk mane nobody give a fuck what yo ignit ass think ok
Man you guys really need to grow up. Sure he may have done his dirt in the past but (smart) people grow up and realize the stupid shit they do so they try not to do it again, we’re humans, we’re not perfect. Like his music but not a TI fan but this dude is intelligent and I like his explanation on his message to Wayne, so real shit. People that have love for one another can harshly criticize one another, talk it out, get there point across, still dap it up and keep progressing as people. Get your life game up Suckas…
So intelligent he manipulates his own people rather than helps then like 99.9% of all other intelligent black men/women the intelligent ones sell out there own people and race for wealth all the while acting concerned its sickening and pathetic
It is sad to see how ignorant some people can be and looking at the response that stupid people wrote about TI make me sick to my stomach. Lets see who you turn to the next time you drive down the street and harrassed dont look for us to march. I am gonna be the first person to copy yo lil post like noooo they dont need our black lives matter help let em call lil wayne see what he do
