Personally, I don't see why he's catching so much hate for his views. He's even being called out by other celebrities for his opinions (accused of "cooning", being an Uncle Tom, etc). Why can't we have different opinions as black people?

I don't think its his differing opinion that is catching heat, its the fact that he's apparently so out of it that he forgot that he was onstage yelling Black Lives Matter just a few months ago, and that he's made quite a few songs about police brutality. HE doesn't seem to know what he thinks, and he's an embarrassment to hip hop culture in the process...drugs will do that to you.
He then says that basically since he's rich, that means Blacks are doing just fine. Wow, REALLY? And the issues we face have nothing to do with you because you're rich, Wayne? FOH with that.

Because when idiotic **** is said, people catch flack for it. Especially if they're a celebrity...
Yup, this thread is amusing--lil Wayne sounded stupid as h***. How is he going to be disconnected from the very content within his music lol--singing about street life, then admitting he can't relate, shouting Black lives matter at a recent concert, then a month later saying he can't relate to it??? Foh with his fake a$$. I'm glad that he's being called out, and I hope his fans stop buying his music.
Maybe he found out the truth and didn't want to support them anymore. Who knows. They didn't start anything anyway.
I don't support blm as an organization either, still it was how ignorant, unaware, and uneducated he sounded that reflected on him poorly and created a distance between himself and his fanbase. He could have distanced himself from the organization without looking like a Buffoon, and perhaps we would have a different thread right now. He tried to keep this interview from being released, and then fired his publicist a few days ago because of how this tainted his image. He doesn't stand for much clearly and yes he is a coon.
I really hope things have not gotten so bad that people are being that upset at what Lil Wayne says about things. I mean this is Lil Wayne we are talking about people!!
Lil Wayne is an overrated fool who has hoodwinked millions of whites, blacks, and others by reaping the rewards for rapping about a lot of nothing. We have made him a millionaire.
Unless it's related to skate boarding, sex, or drugs, he's not interested. Moreover, we should not be interested.
We collectively created this beast, and now want to get offended at his ignorance?
