Lil Wayne is under fire for his recent comments during an interview on Nightline where he was asked for his thoughts on the #BlackLivesMatter movement.
The Grammy-winning hip-hop artist was dismissive when Nightline reporter Lindsey Davis asked his thoughts on social issues. In a preview clip of the interview, Davis addressed the Black Lives Matter movement, to which Wayne responds: โWhat is it? What does it mean?โ
And when asked if he felt drawn to the movement, he answers: โI donโt feel connected to a damn thing that ainโt got nothinโ to do with me.โ He went on to explain, โIโm a young black rich mother****er. If that donโt let you know that America understand.โ
Back in September, Lil Wayne shared a similar, sentiment toward the movement by saying that there is โno such thing as racismโ because there are usually a lot of white fans at his concerts.
