They removed the part where he talked about how a white cop saved his life.
@Ardian Maliqaj ^
Lol I like how that's the one thing you wouldn' forgot that a white cop saved a black mans life wow sooo what's that me racism isn't a thing anymore and the world sees eye to eye
@@homelander95 no It means your ACAB bs is a lie
@Ardian Maliqaj bro qka po lyp ktu ✌😆
Yeah and he’s just been pardoned by another white guy that supposed to be racist.
No he wasn’t offended by the question. He was offended they took him for a fool. This man sees right through the agenda.
RENZ exactly he saw them trying to push their agenda...and he wasn’t having any part in it
a fool yes he is....
No agenda should be being pushed. Everyone is their own person
@@MrBrightjh01 a fool that knows how to make a lot more money than you do. LOL,, and he right,, black lives matte is a bunch of B.S. complaining about fake 'systamatic racism' that doesn't exist.
RENZ he was pissed off because the question on BLM was too complicated for him and it took the spotlight off of himself.
I really can't get over how chill and humble he is
Humble? Lol do you even know what that word means??
@@DontBeDumb89are u retarded or just stupid
@@DontBeDumb89do you? He is humble. However he is also realistic and self aware.
@@DontBeDumb89 He's more humble than your bum ass
He on drugs fasho
Im no fan of lil wayne, but damn he got my respect for realising where the conversation is heading to. And he shut it coz he knows he’s getting cornered.
The whole interview felt like they were out to get him, they weren’t showing love at all
He's a multimillionaire. He doesn't see himself as a victim. He has a winner's mentality and that's why he wins.
Most black people aren't millionaires, that's the problem. Wayne is just ignorant.
EDIT: A lot of you have seemed to miss the point of this because I get replies to this single statement daily. Yes, we know most PEOPLE are NOT millionaires. The problem is that Wayne doesn't see racism or doesn't experience it/experiences it less is because he's a successful multi-MILLIONAIRE. However, most black people have to deal with systemic racism because they are NOT millionaires. Black people cannot be saved by money they do not have. So please, we get it. Most white people aren't millionaires either. That's not the problem.
@@thatguy5779 Yeah, he thinks just because he's rich and he's black, that means there are no more problems for black people. That's just plain ignorance and shows his mind has been clouded by fame.
@@thatguy5779 Black people are out here dying. Innocent black people. How are those individuals supposed to rise to Lil Wayne's status if they are being shot dead on the streets?
@@e.t.gohome8042 He never said that there are no more problems for black people. He just knows that there are problems for everybody, not just white people, not just black people. And as for innocent black people dying on the streets, most of that is because they are being shot by other black people. But when people bring up this issue and try to solve it, they're seen as racist! In 2019 so far, the police force have shot and killed 850 people. Of those 850 people, 172 of those people were black. Of those 172 people, 8 of them were unarmmed. Of those 8, 3 people were not fleeing the scene. 10 unarmmed white people who weren't fleeing the scene were shot and killed. Black people make up 13% of the population. these numbers have been decreasing over the past few years. When you factor in the amount of crimes committed by black people as opposed to white people, the numbers add up. Racism isn't a problem, at least not a big problem, when it comes to police shootings. You are way more likely to die from something as mundane as a heart disease or a car crash. The chances of a black person dying at the hands of the police each year for no reason are about %0.000000807655932 and over the course of a lifetime about %0.00005734357. You are more likely to get struck by lightning twice in the same year. Get over this completely irrational belief and come join the rest of us in reality.
@@user-kn5ll5ny5o Listen. I'm not gonna sit here and act like the cops don't attack everyone. Last week, I saw a group of cops attack a white woman who could do nothing to defend herself, as they tased her several times. Thus, I would appreciate it if you would drop the projections.
However, we cannot ignore the facts. Policing was created as a racist institution and has continued this legacy to today. The amount of unarmed black people shot and killed by police is disproportionate to other groups of people. Even without unarmed shootings, black people are more likely to go to jail for a crime and likely to be in jail longer for the same crime. They are even more likely to go jail for crimes they did not commit.
The police system is both a corrupt and racist institution but the problems they create must be addressed quickly depending on their magnitude and black people are targets of the police from harassing to arrests to shootings.
Since you've interjected yourself into this discussion, maybe you should speak on this. How are those individuals supposed to rise to Lil Wayne's status if they are in jail for crimes they didn't commit or worse off, dead?
He's not a 🐑 he has his own mind, own opinions, and he knows what's really going on I respect him 100%.
KoKi Top not a sheep hes a goat
This should be top Comment!!!!
Maybe he's not a sheep, but he's dumber than a donkey.
Totally agree!
KoKi Top He might not be a sheep but he is a hypocrite,he is at concerts having the crowd chant Black Lives Matter,the last time he did it was in August
"I'm a slave for your ear, I'll die to make what you hear great" poetry! All his music is special..🔥
U caught that !!!❤
He was being literal. He sold his soul he said so himself
Wayne was keeping it real. Respect to him for not biting on the bait.
He knows better than to look weak. Personal strength is one of his selling points.
A successful black man living in America who wasn't lazy, didn't blame his problems on anyone, and did something with his life??!!! The nerve of him!
This applies to EVERYBODY: if you wanna make a change and do something POSITIVE in life, stop being lazy, stop blaming it on everyone but yourself, and DO IT. That is what Wayne is saying.
get it from the African Kings who conquered and sold you ... that might be a start!
+Rene Valdez agree
Then quit asking me for reparations and we'll be even!! ya heard?
Rene Valdez You the MAN!!
I can definitely respect a man who doesn't apologize because they feel he should.
Yeah feels good to see a guy with a strong backbone
Never really got into his music but have always admired and respected this man. He's true to himself, loves his family and is genuinely humble. Keep doing you!
He 😂won't be fooled by pathetic progressive, liberal, fake news media
And a druggie but go off
@@SoulSearch11110Just so you are informed -- draw a picture, in your mind, of everyone you admire, love, hold dear, and respect. Got a bit of an image? Now get rid of every other person, those who are left have some form of addiction to either alcohol (10.6% in US) or drugs (38% in US)! That is real, so do you apply the same "druggie" moniker to those close to you? Or are you so self-righteous and pompous that you think you and yours are above the pitfalls that life has for EVERYONE! Your use of "druggie" as a blanket condescending term says a lot about you and I know a ton of "druggies" who are better people than those like you! You denounce a person ("druggie") who is more successful, more talented, more human, and, more than likely, more intelligent than you, that can't sit well with you, that a "druggie" is better than you in most every way!!!! Can you imagine what people must say behind your back, considering you are inferior to a "druggie"? I wouldn't ponder it too much because the reality could lead you to become a "druggie", which we determined, would be a step up for you, but I doubt it would do anything to quell your arrogance and, frankly, an arrogant druggie is an ugly druggie!
@@SoulSearch11110Ok? And your point is…?
You act like he’s the only rapper in America who’s a druggie.
He gave ABC News exclusive access to him for 3 years and they do him like this.....what? He's so raw and real they can't relate. You go Wayne and thank you for all the true beauty and real love you''ve let flow through you for all these years to all of us and the beautiful difference you've made in the world
they can relate they just wanted to exploit him they're vicious
He wasn't offended by her language, it was the fact she tried to trap him with the question. Woah!
And she’s black, she asked those questions because of the money she was getting, she wanted Wayne to support black people on BLM but he’s a free man in America.
While I agree with your point. I do think my boy could have handled the situation a little better. He’s a smart dude and a professional at that. But it was his interview so whatever I guess.
It’s a bold move from him I respect that a lot
Marshal Murat exactly! Shes the most leftist liberal I’ve ever seen!
Hdjd Bshdh : they always trying to pull well known celebrities into this cult they have found. B L M, l am black but always says
EVERY LIFE MATTER. Lil Wayne doesn’t do interviews, because he knows his life style and the questions he will be asking him, so for that matter he will not do interviews.
Lit Wayne is a smart guy
They called his views "controversial" because he doesn't agree with their narrative.
No, you don't know that. It's probably because there are very many reasons to see how his lyrics are vulgar, immature, etc.
@@danielnatzke6733 they didnt say lyrics you child. You know what they meant. Reply so I can have another laugh
@@Josh729J Ahhh gotcha. Absolutely!
Why were the tenors knocking on the door?
Saad Khan thank you. That’s the problem these days
Saad Khan correction...the liberal elitist narrative
More people should be like this. The world would be a better place. Love how he speaks his mind and don't give a damn.
98% of the time If white people support a message pertaining to any sort of race related issues, that means it's something that doesn't benefit black people.
Rudeness is of the devil..Kindness is of god.
I don’t think everyone should be like this 😂. He was high out of his mind during this interview.
Lil Wayne basically said.....dont come at me with your media race baiting. He loves people and people love him. That's how he sees the world. He's humbled and honestly, has his heart where, quite frankly, we all should.
"I ain't no ******* politician"
As a fan I say THANK YOU, a lot of these entertainers and actors need to hear this
If an entertainer wants to speak out they can, muhammad Ali did it and many others
Snoop really needs to have chat with Lil wayne about this..
Nixu, Snoop only attacks women like Gayle and Oprah. And why? Because he thinks his fans are as backwards and misogynistic as he is. And he could be right. But Snoop Dogg won't bark at Lil Wayne because he knows Lil Wayne is as street as he is.
Why?
Bamm Johnson, I stand by my comment--and I fit into none of the pigeonholes you name. But I can see why you are defending both Lil "I don't know my own history" Wayne and Mr. Misogyny Snoop: Birds of a feather. And by the way, the term "crack head" is bigoted. Do you ever hear similarly derogatory names for people who are hooked on powdered cocaine? Meth? Opioids? LSD? No--because those names were created to derogate and dehumanize people of color. Go sit in the corner with Lil "I Don't Know My Own History" Wayne. Why not check in with him to see if he is still singing the same tune after seeing what happened to Ahmaud Arbery in GA, Breonna Taylor in KY and George Floyd in MN. Get off UA-cam and go learn your own history. I know more of your history than you do.
They left out the part where he said a white cop saved his life.
The news doesn’t tell me everything they wanna make it seem like he was wrong that’s why the media is so bad that’s why you have to search it up yourself
But see he done explained that so many times & he said he can’t speak on other people do but because a white person said his life he not gone pick sides !
@@paacgirlfrienddgallow5977 da fuq u just say??
Well of course it'd hurt the anti cop narrative if they did
@@tremainofficial Sadly not everyone wants to do independent research.
This man WINS. Wins at almost everything he does because he’s brilliant when it comes to the streets and took that to the business world. He’s a veteran of the industry
Facts!! 💯💯💯
I live in Australia.
Always respected him.
He is a good guy.
Love Lil Wayne.
he wasn't offended by the questions, he was offended by the wrong ideology being forced on his throat. winners don't have a victim's mentality and they don't suggest it to anyone.
Thank You
Word!!!
Well said
Damn right, and if you wanna get to the top you should cast your excuses into the dirt
That’s what’s up
"I'm from the South, you know I have to be respectful cause I got someone to answer to and that's my mom." Highest level of respect. ✊🏼
le' loser ._. Always loved Wayne and I loved how he reacted to the stupid questions
Also "im connected im a gangbanger"... so much respect for Mom.
@@bigman88george3 wdym? Sorry if that was a dumb question I just barely woke up and seen this 😅
@@i.drink.dirty.bong.water. op stated he respects lil Wayne because said he respects his mother and answers to her. But in the interview he says he's a proud bloods gangbanger. So he was contradicting himself when he says he respectes his mother.
@@bigman88george3 oh now I understand; my bad I didnt realize that. I appreciate you kindly explaining it for me honestly.
When Lil Wayne said God, family, music & weed, I felt that
He is a successful business man and hip hop star. He has proved to everyone that he does not need pity for being black. He has beat the odds of living street life by working hard and being passionate about what he does. We need a lil Wayne in every community 😅 ✌️❤️
I love how she’s just baiting him the entire time and he knows what she’s doing all along.
Thot Police69 race baiting.
Agt.BADASS wtf are you talking about?
Agt.BADASS nah my guy... nah he dont need a church for that
@Agt.BADASS Does ur cult sell candies?
He’s like the rest of us tired of every god damn thing turned to politics.
Yep turned into politics or a trend which turns the original point of something
Make it stop please
Because everything is politics duh , what world you live in
Sushi Bee not really
Sick and tired
Much respect. He thinks for himself and cuts right through the bullsh#t
This man music saved my respectful image after learning about music culture god bless family and foundations miss this real time with those things
"My life matter, especially to my bitches" - Lil Wayne !
😂😭😭😭
Krasen Maximov LOL!!!
Krasen Maximov Lol
Krasen Maximov lol
+Brian Pasley lol
He gave his honest opinion and didn't lie. What more do you want. The media gets mad and upset when they don't get the answers they want.
Simple as that !!!
He's smart
The media is liberal that’s why
They're mad because they didn't loop him into their agenda. They wanted him to confess to his interactions with racism, but he doesn't think there is any, so they gotta sucker punch him at the end because they're too weak to do it to his face.
Wouldn't you think after interviewing him for 3 years, you might have got his opinion about the subject off camera, I mean I'm honestly glad they are so dimwitted but all they had to do to avoid this was spend 5 mins with him off camera lol.
Welcome to America. Lol
How can anyone not love this guy?
Lil Wayne has a very sound mind. He's logical and confident in his logic. When she asked if he regretted saying "racism doesn't exist", he responded "not at all" instantaneously, without hesitation. He knows he doesn't need anyone to validate what he knows is correct.
So they’re gonna bash him because he didn’t say what they wanted to hear?
That’s so typical.
welcome to the side of the left! haha if they have the hugest celebrity on live tv at any time and ask a question, but he right not left(or whatever) , and once they school that (name here) gonna be scholled big time!....lmao
mrbrainchild76 his fans are mostly liberals. So trust me he wouldn’t lose any fans if he did support BLM. Stop being ignorant. Face the facts. He’s not the only black dude to bash BLM. BLM is just a bunch of white/cop hating racist group. Wake up!
mrbrainchild76 And you think all white people are against BLM? Have you seen BLM rallies? Sometimes they’re over 50% white. Foh with that bullshit
mrbrainchild76 you ever heard of a group saying black lives don’t matter? cuz i haven’t🤔
mrbrainchild76 Yeah sure, he has to play black identititarian so that you can continue to perpetuate the victimhood narrative, right? He didn't bow down to dogma, neither does he gain from perpetuating it, and thus he is free.
It also appears that too many self made successful black Americans have the same view.
She was trying to shame him into a political corner. He clearly doesn't play that bs.
Best comment‼️‼️
They thought they could make a young influential rapper say he stands with black lives matter and they got pissed when he made them look dumb.
Yeah and I don't blame either do you
I grew up ⬆️ listening to little Wayne…waaay before the world knew him. I’m from Louisiana
She asked a question and he answered with Honesty and I've always admired how he gave her the truth ,not what she wanted to hear . As a Fan since Day 1 Lil Wayne is the one celebrity I have the most respect for He stays consistent with All his Fans he don't pick and choose based on what everyone else is doing he always leads He never follows, you gotta love that most about this Man and the Fact not only is he a Phenomenal Artist , there is so much more to him than just his 🎵🎶 music.
“I’m a rich young black man in America. If that doesn’t prove...”
Darn good point!
Legend.
Gives thanks to free education and good breeding
And we voted a half-black man as POTUS.
@@dearymcleary I didnt🙂
And nearly all his audience is white
He’s offended by the attempted manipulation. He’s sharp. He isn’t disingenuous and underhanded. So I can see why most networks would have a problem with him.
@Rurouni Kenshin well I didn’t say he was a Rhodes scholar. But it’s too easy for most to fall in line with this pro- blm stupidity. I give him a lot of credit for that.
he was actually an honors student In school. He's definitely of above average intelligence.
@Guy Who Killed U that's literally the exact opposite of what hes saying. Also, you're*
@Guy Who Killed U part of the “problem” is that instead of exchanging ideas and expressing opinions, people try to point fingers and say things like “ you’re the problem”.
Try to listen and explain in an understanding way rather than point fingers and scream at people with capitalized sentences and mean statements.
There’s a lot of hysterical people screaming and pointing when they hear an opinion different from theirs. It reminds me of the pod people in “invasion”. Calm down.
@@mex8694 actually, I think he forgot the question mark in his comment. I think it may have been rhetorical? I had to read it twice..
Lil Wayne has positive energy the problem is is the media is negative God bless Lil Wayne and stay strong
He has every right to feel however he wants to feel about anything. Don't you want people to respect your opinion on things, Mr news reporter? Then give him the same respect.
"I ain't no f*****g politician." I just became a Lil Wayne fan.
But Wayne has talked about police brutality , racial injustice, and political greed
@@whysoserious6685 Those are all legitimate complaints. Besides, what I'm talking about is his refusal to be lead into saying what THEY want him to say. So many celebrities today bow down to pressure from those who have deemed themselves the elites and manipulate those in the limelight into helping them force their beliefs into the culture. So I have a lot of respect for those that refuse to be used in that way.
But
He BLACK THO! LOL
@@Dwade-nk9wc but that goes against what lil wayne said about him not knowing what racism is.
@White Obama Is Beta O'Rourke he's better than you on every level. So fuck you
She was race baiting him and fair play to him, he answered her honestly and she didnt like it, and she was pushing him to say he thinks there is an issue, that's why he was pissed off!
Exactly what I was thinking...race baiting. He got pissed because he knew exactly what she was doing.
This is why i became, am, and always be this man’s fan! Greatest rapper alive, period!
Not many people kno that he almost died and a white cop took him to the hospital and saved his life when other cops were just walking over him..he is SUPER grateful for his life and very humble..I love lil Wayne
“I ain’t no politician” I wish more celebrities would think this way
They're too afraid because someone else controls their paychecks. They will be shunned out of Hollywood if they're actors/actresses and won't land roles. A musician like Him works for himself not someone else.
I only thumbs it down because of the Nightline puppet at the end
Lil Wayne just had meeting with Trump, so there's that
@@sthapebarksdale7771 Smh...Lil Wayne’s a liar and has always secretly hated being black. I can’t stand him.
@@lisatryme3518 huh?😂😂😂
I'm actually offended that they tried to make him seem like a racist... I hate the media
@Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad you said everything but black lives which is why the movement exists you ass
@@jalenwilliams9018 Black Lives Matter is not about the hundreds to thousands of black lives getting killed by their own. How about the black old man killed by BLM rioters? Even Black Lives Matter supporter Don Lemon says BLM is not about about all black lives but rather just the "police brutality and killings". Yet when you look at the statistics, the police only killed a few black folks in 2019, most of them resisted arrest. Yet the BLM riots killed more black people in a few months than the police did in 3 years combined.
@@trendingnews9003 I never said anything about black on black crime, yes I am talking about police brutality towards black people hence why BLM was formed. The black people that were killed in 2019 and 2020 usually resisted arrest because the reasoning of the polices actions were usually unjustified. Black people don't wanna roll over for no justified reason to then get a record for no reason. Also, your last statement simply isn't true because that's lumped in with the gang violence which is an issue that BLM doesn't address.
@Jack Clemor lol you basically proved my last point
@Yuumi Chan Its actually not, they've tried every alternative and the police are still killing black men so it results to this. Also don't refer to all black people in blm as gang members because thats not true at all. There maybe gangs included but very little of them are in a gang. Most of them are average day-to-day people like you. There were also tones of white people in the blm protests since George Floyd
I love Lil Wayne! Calls it like it is!! No candy coating for anyone!!
I love lil Wayne, he never forgets uncle Bob. I loved growing up in that era
“I ain’t no politician” that was the damn truest thing I’ve ever heard stop asking celebrities questions politicians should be asked
Nonpolitical people are the best
Yeah Lebron James needs to take notes.
exactly like tim allen
We can’t just rely on politicians to speak for us. Non politicians can be educated on politics, this was a truly dangerous statement
That’s why these Hollywood “Stars” always be trying to tell people who they should be and what they should think and feel. Yeah ….. No
Using offensive language in his albums, has nothing to do with him having the right to be offended by a racially motivated political question. Lil Wayne was not biting on the BLM hoax. Good for him.
He destroying the community
@@bufubufu8258 give me every factual piece of evidence to your claim.
@@bufubufu8258 Lil Wayne empathetically thinks out-of-the-box, regarding the human spirit, race, and religion. I don't care who you are, you're a close-minded son of a bitch.
Jack I don’t think he has any lmao
Sadly most people don’t have any evidence to what they say, they can walk the walk but can’t talk the talk
He's not racist plain and simple what kind of answer was she looking for? Leave it alone if he doesn't believe in the black lives matter he has every right to feel how he feels.
I ❤him for speaking out
They HATE IT when artists don’t endorse politics but only art.
Art shapes politics and politics shapes art. At their extremes they are also able to free themselves from one another, as was seen in this video.
Dylan Roberts politics shape art? Ouf
specially when the politics refer to or involve a superficial double-standard group like BLM. We are all for BLM main message but not how the whole movement is being managed or the repercussions its causing.
Blm isn’t politics
This miscreant is a batty riding fool. His real visage should be blackface singing mammy... And to think that MLK-BRO X - IDA B. WELLS - MONROE TROTTER- HARRIET TUBMAN - SOJOURNER TRUTH - DR. CARTER G. WOODSON- JAMES BALDWIN - LORRAINE HANSBERRY- JULIET HAYDEN- AND MILLIONS UPON MILLIONS OF OTHERS put their BALLS and Ovaries on the line so this MALIGNANT DWARF CAN SHUCK AND JIVE FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT OF. ' white ' PEOPLE is beyond embarrassing
He wasn't offended by the question he got tired of them trying to bait him into an irrelevant topic
Wayne Jones exactly. The no name reporter dude took the opportunity to inject his opinion and direct the last thoughts to align with his. Typical.
Yup. It's so funny how even after the interview they continue trying to paint something as something that it isn't.
respect to lil wayne he is really humble and respectful unless you provoke him with stupidity i pray to god to bless him more and protect him
Even more reason to luv this man 🙌Why can't more people have a similar stance on the matter?
He said WLM...Wayne's Life Matters. He only cares about 1 human's life...his own
He wasn’t offended by the question, he was pissed off because he didn’t want to talk about politics
That's true. We only saw what they let us see. They edited out a large chunk of the interview and cut to the part where he "got angry". They could have been incessantly badgering him to side with BLM, for all we know. He knows BLM is a terrorist organization. That's why he said he already has a gang of his own.
Exactly
Not only that, he stated before that a lot of his fans are white. So telling that black's live doesn't matter to whites is simply offensive I am not american, but Black Lives Matter is just stupid and offensive to usual people.
Stating that there's a racism in America these days is like being (or even worse - your mother was) married to wifebeater and don't do anything about it other than screaming that every man is mentally ill.
Instead of pointing fingers at core of the problem, trying to fix it or changing teacher, company, school, whatever... their solution is to invent the best term ever "institutional racism" w t f?!
Nope they think because he didn’t say what they wanted him to he’s offended
Walker McDill exactly, this reporters want to envolve you into controvertial shieat and no matter what you answer they can turn anything you say against you, that's why he got mad, because they are fake as fck. That's why he don't get enetrviews
Anchorman is only upset because lil Wayne just destroyed their narrative.
So incredibly unprofessional to react like, it is not their job to react to a question they didn't like hearing the answer to.
And lemon man
Facts
yes hehe
This reminds me of Syria. You had the white helmet on one side and Isis on the other side. That terrible dictator Bashar Al Assad, he had to go. CNN and the rest of them, they spend months making stuff up about Syria. I remember watching that Syrian girl debunking all those msm outlets.
Now it has all come to america. Trump is getting the police to hurt those ''peaceful'' black lives matters protesters. Looks like hybrid warfare being waged on america. People dont realize this because the army is there to protect everyone right? Except that if Trump involves the army, the Clinton crowd will cry so much we wont ever hear the end of it.
It has to go down like this. Debunk them, one lie at a time.
His people I love that meaning all people thanks Wayne
He doesn't act like a victim. He just goes out, does his job well, and makes his dream, instead ofc crying out loud for pity.
He doesn't act like a victim??? He shot himself 😂😂😂 your thinly masked racism isn't even applicable here 😂😂😂😂
I'm not a big Lil' Wayne fan but the way he ended that interview was epic
I have always thought that too even back when he was bigger never really listened to his music much but wouldn't mind his interviews when he spoke regularly.
@Jeremy Dailey okay and?
Jeremy Dailey there’s good music out there. Sounds like you just have a bad taste in any music in general. Lmao I feel bad for your ears, you forsure have no rhythm
@Jeremy Dailey um ok
@Jeremy Dailey I like anime why should I be embarrassed about that lmao
He’s an American, he has the freedom to think and speak how he wants. Unless he’s committing a crime, just leave the man alone.
Not a lil Wayne music fan but you got to respect the man.
I’m rich and black . I made it . No excuses. Im no victim.
Nitish Shah - No no no . Worked hard to get out of the ghetto . Not using the excuse about the system or the white man hold people down.
arif mohammed you’re a dumbass
@arif mohammed All lives matter!! Deal with it, racist!😉
@@pjmendoza8871 lmaoooo that biden supporter didn't respond back
arif mohammed there only been 7 black men who were shot unarmed . And plus a black man is more likely to shoot a cop than a black man is to get shot by a cop.
He said it perfectly, “he’s not a politician”. A lot of other celebrities need to realize this truth. They’re entertainers not politicians!
Why does a carpenter, for example, get to have a political opinion but a celebrity can't?
@Roscato Marie But picking a side in the matter is what makes it political.
Oh my god, where's Ja Rule!? I need Ja Rule to make sense of all this for me! Ja! Where are you Ja...?
Celebrities cant have views? They suppose to just do what the man wants them to do huh🙄. Freedom of speech in America is nonexistent 🙄
Yeah but they're also Americans. They have huge platforms and influence and should try to educate and get ppl out voting. That's not a bad thing lmaoo that's using your platform for good.
I'm an old white guy and I have nothing but respect for Wayne. He's his own person and I love that.
Good for you lil Wayne! Much respect!
"I have someone to answer to, and that's my mom."
Understandable
Nicely said
Amen to that
Y
Lol!
I hit this comment right as he said it. Trippy bud
"My life matters, especially to my bitches" lmao killed me😂
Slow Turtle Love Bug Gotta Love Lil Wayne!!!
His fans are his bitches.
Don bingo
That final comment by the news anchor shows how disconnected they really are. He made such a loud point there, what a guy. Gonna go down in history as the Michael Jackson of rap. Absolute legend
Yes really Lil Wayne is The best
I'm not a fan of his music, but he said exactly what he was feeling and didn't sugarcoat anything. I give him props for that.
Yup!
“My life matter especially to
My bitches.” Greatest line ever uttered
Even lil wayne's normal talk are like his bars. Takes a while to fully understand what he meant
The goat
Ahaha. I’m dying
Haha loved that
❤️❤️❤️
Lil Wayne is a mad respectful rapper, and a massive W
I just laughed out loud so much and had to come back afterwards…he’s so real ..still laughing..just so y’all no he ain’t no politician ..I’m unglued..I can’t stop laughing omg lol I love him
Lil Wayne is thinking clear and for himself. He won't let the media use him for their narrative. Good for him!!
Sirenz80 isn’t that what democrat politicians are doing? They are rich multi millionaires not wanting to mess up their power with black people? See how easy it is to flip the switch
BS. He said it :"I am a rich black man" which means who cares about anything .
@Sirenz80 Claiming that someone is depended on white people because he's black is extremly racist.

Don't think he's to big of a fool. Everyone can think for themselves. He said a white cop saved his life when he was a kids and all the others that were there with him didn't want him getting medical attention, They were worried about drugs and money. . He said the cop stayed with him the entire time at the hospital. I know the police needs to be reformed. But who in their right mind would want wants to defund them. Sometimes we need the police. Theyve help me more times than one. I've had a couple things going at my house. The ones that were really good to my daughter, they've moved away. I've had a few run in myself, where they flat lied to get their quota and overtime. My lawyer which I've known for years has told me how the sustem works. While he battles in court he tells them
@@robindehood207
Yes, don't you see my profile?
I'm not meanimg any disrespect. But I don't have no closed mind about cops. I'm sayimg that if they are dufunded, who are yohu going to call when u need them? I've needed them plentu of times. I've also had dealings with them and lies like a dog. They do most everyone. But when they get out of traiming, it's not about we the people. Then I've had some extremely nice officer. They all been very good to me.
He's successful by his own hand, raises his children, has respect for others, and can think for himself. Why would anyone dislike him?
I get the question is rhetorical, but I’ll answer anyways... it’s the last part about thinking for himself. You are either part of the herd or they hate you. Democratic Party/ liberals
Insanity Diecast Customs exactly. He doesn’t fit their narrative or stare like a deer in the “woke” headlights. It confuses them, they’ll ask the same questions repeatedly, hoping to steer him into the answer they want. I don’t blame him for saying “Fuk this! I answered you.”
All facts
And the thing is the guy is worth over $150 million dollars and he appreciates the position he is put in a lot of wealthy black celebrities complain a lot about racism and see's themselves as the victim even though they have much more money than 90% of white people..
The only thing I heard from Lil Wayne is,he's implying that not all white people are evil which is equivalent to Not all blacks are criminals that's a fact that's true,then the rest of what is saying is actually fully based on his experiences not other people's which is not wrong of him still.What he forgot is where are we coming from before Black Live Matters cause it sounds like ever since the beginning there was no racism of any kind black people have always been treated fairly in America since day 1,then having all these combined from how do people see us black people and associated us with, says it all. Imagine walking in the streets knowing that you could be a Potential suspect of any kinda crime ..he should watch all the videos that are going viral before having his full opinion cause by saying Black Lives Matter that doesn't mean black people aren't racist and ofcourse it doesn't mean other lives don't matter.Everyone who gets uncomfortable when we talk about racism is racist period!
My respect went hella up with lil Wayne. He clearly cares about good more than anything. And he recognises that racism isn’t one person getting killed by the police. It’s that too many young African Americans don’t get enough support in education, and there is not enough police. Lil Wayne also likes police because a police officer once saved his life when he was shot.
Wayne grew up in Hollygrove surrounded by guns and drugs as a direct result of the legacy of racist housing policies. He knows what racism is regardless of whether he is too ignorant to recognize it.
I don’t think the question offended him it was that y’all were trying bait him in to saying something y’all could twist around just like the media does.
Yeah exactly
Yeah! Trump 2020
Exactly what happened
I agree
Exactly
"Im not a politican" thats the right answer. He did the right thing, he aint stupid
Faxxx

Do you have to be a politician to accept that racism is out there ??
@@akramahmed4881 no one is arguing if there exists one or two people that are racist
@@akramahmed4881 no, but you have to be to choose a side in a political game
I don't listen to your music but everything I've ever heard come out of your mouth I respect and agree with 100%. Keep being you!
Thank you lil wayne!!!! We love you!!!
“Don’t come at me with politics”
Love him for that!! Media can’t handle the truth!
Him and Fat Joe gave their take on the George Floyd case and man those two who you think are gangsters that spit offensive lyrics are actually quite intelligent and told everyone in a very well spoken way It’s a tragedy to see a brother die, but dawg we gotta get the facts out first before we jump to conclusions because the media said both of them are the true enemies of the people. They create chaos over something that wasn’t even a cops fault that they had no choice but to take action.
I don't believe in politics
Well get on your knees then
@@LegacyandFierce no
Taking a page out of Bob Dylan's book.
They thought he was dumb, boy did they get disappointed. 😂
My thoughts exactly 🤣
Not dumb necessarily, just selfish.
Throngdorr Mighty no not at all. Those are mutually exclusive things.
Throngdorr Mighty apparently you don’t know what mutually exclusive means. You can be smart AND be selfish. You can be smart AND be giving. You can be dumb AND be selfish or you can be dumb AND be giving. Just because you correlate the two does not mean one causes the other.
@@aileencrane7700 the interview was supposed to be about him!! Now how you look?
Wayne is goated, went through a lot and is still humble 😂
Such a genuine person
"Don't come at me with that dumb shit, ma'am." Legendary
She didn't come at him - she asked him a question in a perfectly reasonable and polite tone. If he was frustrated with the subject matter he could have answered "I came here to talk about my autobiography. Can we talk about that now?" He acted like a petulant child.
jxxv 25 this ignorant ass dude ain't no legend. he's a moment in time
jxxv 25 🔥
same thoughts
jxxv 25 OMG ITS RLLY LATE RN ANDI GOT TO THAT PART AND I LAUGHED SO LOUD DUDE MY MOM THOUGHT I WAS CHOKING
To this day, one of the most honest interviews ever done
Absolutely and now it's again
Not really
I feel chill just watching him 🤙🏻
Always have respect for Lil Wayne. Respect for anyone who just tells it like it is and gets on with his business. Good man. Not a rap kind of guy but I respect the hell out of him as a man.
I don’t particularly like his music, but this dude is smart. He’s free.
Do me a favor and listen to 'mess' by him. It's a very nice song
@@skins131_3 bruh 😂
@@jackischilling2308 Lol my nigga that song is hard
So many songs I can list right now because Wayne is one of the greatest of all time. Listen to “ueono” by Wayne. Whole song is punch line after punch line
Listen to: burn, sorry for the wait, stuntin like my daddy, drop the world, president Carter, megaman
Lil Wayne isn’t interested in people telling him he’s oppressed.
Pete Pyeatt..he's repressed that's why.
@deidre leo When describing a person, repressed and oppressed mean the same thing.
@@daizeedee1202 I disagree with your comment, how can you say that he is repressed, it essentially means the same thing as oppressed. Lil Wayne made it clear that oppression is not an issue at all!
@@jolleenewman3416 For him it's not a issue doesnt mean it isn't a issue & isn't real.

@@Dsadsasasad lmfao
This guy isnt offended he’s fed up because he doesn’t apply to any specific agenda, and news, politicians etc. are always trying to push an agenda for no reason. He’s not my type of person, but he’s real and what he does isn’t my style either but he’s a human and what he feels is right or wrong he sticks to and I respect that.
Stop tokenizing Wayne to push some idiotic narrative about race, media, police, and/or government/politics
He will be able to look back at his life and know he was honest with himself. Smart man especially for a rock star
Look into when Wayne was shot in his own house and a white police officer came in and saved him and showed compassion, this happened when he was younger and he freely talks about it.
All while his black "family and friends" stepped over him to get away from the police officers.
Come on people ! the police dont care about color, they are there for all. they sign up to do good in any all community, and yes there are are bad cops and there are bad people in politics and all around..come to mn where I live..we care for all..
@@jonjonson8002 and there are good cops just labeled bad
@sky skater then they should aim their focus against the cops who did it and it makes the most sense
@sky skater there aiming there focus toward other people who didn't do anything to them

Lol what
@Justin Lee Racisssss
RRREEEEEEE
Lil Wayne could never be part of a Marxist society like BLM. He's not a follower of anybody. That's why he's not going to acknowledge a group he could never be a part of. Leaders don't follow and he made that very clear. I'm not his biggest fan of music but i am a big fan of who he is. He's makes no apologies to anybody.
THANK YOU!!
My respect for Lil Wayne increased tenfold after watching this interview.
he didn't fall for the race baiting ..... RESPECT TO HIM !!!!
@Bamm Johnson No, all lives matter. The movement focuses specifically on the fact that a black man got shot. How about instead of racially profiling him, how about just focus on the fact that a human got shot and killed by another human.
Love or hate him, you have to respect his honesty. That’s something major celebs and politicians usually lack.
I don't like his music but I do respect him.
@@ratflail215 same never cared for his music. But i like him as a person.
@@ratflail215 I don't like his music either but I do like watching his interviews and what he has to say.
