Yelawolf Defends Use and Wearing of the Confederate Flag
White, Alabama-bred rapper Yelawolf is showing his support for the Confederate flag after a new T-shirt set him off.
The MC took to social media to express how upset he was by a new T-shirt that depicts one of the most inflammatory icons in American history being burned. The 35-year-old says, "Ain't no way I'm letting some ones [sic] ignorance tear me from my roots" and continued to explain why he supports the Confederate flag. You can see his full Facebook opinion below; it touches on Southern culture and how rappers like André 3000 and Big Gipp have worn the flag before. Click to enlarge:
