Emmett Till's Family Targets Mountain Dew in Lil Wayne Lyric Controversy
Less than a month after Reebok dumped Rick Ross over his controversial rape lyric, the family of slain Civil Rights icon Emmett Till are targeting Mountain Dew over its endorsement deal with Lil Wayne.
Back in February, the Young Money rapper dropped a verse on Future's "Karate Chop" that referenced the 14-year-old boy, who was killed in 1955 by Mississippi racists for allegedly whistling at a white woman. Specifically, Wayne rapped he wanted to "beat that p**sy up like Emmett Till."
