Lil Wayne Dismisses Black Lives Matter: 'My Life Matter, Especially to My B*tches'
Lil Wayne gets tapped by ESPN for his #sportsexpertise all the time, so it looks like Nightline decided the time was right to go to him for some more serious stuff. In a segment that aired Monday night, correspondent Linsey Davis asked Weezy, given the recent comment that there's "no such thing as racism," what he thinks about Black Lives Matter.
"What is it? What...what do you mean?" Wayne asks in the video above, with a squint and a tilt of the head that's either wry or confused. It's almost the same Weezy who gave the most defiant deposition maybe ever.
Davis clarifies: "The idea was that there's this movement called Black Lives Matter, thinking that the rest of America didn't seem to understand that, that black lives matter."
“I...just sounds weird, I don’t know, that you put a name on it," Wayne answers. "It’s not a name, it’s not ‘whatever, whatever,’ it’s somebody got shot by a policeman for a fucked-up reason."
