Lil Wayne on His Black Lives Matter Comment

Earlier this week, Lil Wayne made some controversial comments about the "Black Lives Matter" movement. In an interview on ABC's "Nightline", Wayne said that he did not feel connected to the Black Lives Matter movement and that it had nothing to do with him.

The statement caused a rubble from millions of fans and majority of the black community. The rapper also seemed to disagree with the idea that people do not believe in Black Lives Matter already.

Wayne's exact quote was, "I don't feel connected to a damn thing that ain't got nothing to do with me," the rapper told Nightline in a recent interview. He added he was young, black and rich. "My life matter, especially to my b------," and winked at the camera.

Lil Wayne then walked out of the TV interview just moments after while telling ABC News' Linsey Davis that he is not a "politician."

Naturally, social media networks like Twitter and Facebook blew up over the comment, and Wayne's dismissal of the said movement. Vulture even called Wayne's comments "a flat betrayal" of the race.

Fans will remember that this is not the first time the rapper had made controversial comments about race. Before this interview with ABC, Lil Wayne told Fox Sports that he doesn't see racism because he has plenty of white fans.

Wayne has recently apologized for his comments on the show TMZ saying, "Apologies to anyone who was offended." The rapper also blamed "Nightline"'s Linsey Davis for asking questions about his daughter. He said that the questions "threw him off".

"When the reporter began asking me questions about my daughter being labeled a bitch and a hoe, I got agitated," he said. "From there, there was no thought put into her questions and my responses."

Lil Wayne is currently promoting his new biography entitled "Gone 'Til November: A Journal of Rikers Island". The biography focuses on the rapper's eight-month stint in New York's Rikers Island prison back in 2010 for weapons conviction.
