T.I. is one of many artists voicing their opinion regarding Lil Wayne’s comments on the Black Lives Matter movement.
Last week, Lil Wayne sparked major controversy regarding his comments on the Black Lives Matter movement during his interview with ABC’s “Nightline”. Among the many activists who have spoke out against Wayne’s recent comments, a few notable rappers have also voiced their disagreement. Recently Jeezy, who is a long time friend and collaborator, claimed Wayne’s disconnect on the topic stems from his stardom at a very early age. Wayne himself admitted on a recent interview with Skip Bayless, that his life has been blessed from the start and never really had to deal with racism in his career. Vic Mensa also spoke out recently and condemned Wayne’s comments as “ignorant, selfish, and isolated”.
Yesterday, T.I., one of Atlanta’s most influential people and biggest public supporters of the BLM movement, took to instagram to offer a lengthy response to Lil Wayne. TIP, addresses the niche world Wayne seems to keep himself in lately, the long standing personal relationship between the two rappers and reminices of the times, their daughters played at each others house (read the full post below).
While the frustration of the BLM movement towards Wayne’s perspective is understandable, it’s important to note that Wayne has many times this year expressed his physical and mental exhaustion as a result of his continuing problems with Cash Money and CEO, Birdman. Lil Wayne is clearly not in a place to take on the weight of the world at the moment, which could offer another explanation for his disconnect with current social issues.
