Charlamagne Tha God gave Lil Wayne "Donkey of the Day" for Tuesday, November 2, for his recent comments that he's never experienced racism in his life and wasn't aware of the Black Lives Matters movement.
CTG cited a 2015 song titled "My Heart Races On" in which Weezy talks about racism and police brutality.
"Oh Lord, what are we running from? / The police cause they already killed enough of us / Stay out them streets cause they don’t fuck with us, they hunting us / We in a race against racists, that’s a color run," Wayne raps in the song.
On the 2006 song "Georgia ... Bush," Wayne slams then President George W. Bush for not helping New Orleans enough following Hurricane Katrina.
"Then they telling y'all lies on the news / The white people smiling like everything cool / But I know people that died in that pool / I know people that died in them schools / Now what is the survivor to do/ got to no trailer, you gotta move / Now it's on to Texas and to (Georgia) / They tell you what they want, show you what they want you to see / But they don't let you know what's really going on / Make it look like a lotta stealing going on / Boy them cops is killas in my home / Nigga shot dead in the middle of the street / I ain't no thief, I'm just trying to eat / Man fuck the police and President (Georgia) Bush," Weezy roars.
Contrast that to the Young Money Records CEO's comments on "Nightline" Tuesday, November 1, when asked about BLM.
"That just sounds weird that you put a name on it.," he told host Linsey Davis. "It's not a name; it's not 'whatever, whatever.' It's somebody got shot by a policeman for a fucked up reason. I am a young, black, rich motherfucker. If that don't let you know that America understand black motherfucker's these days, I don't know what it is. That man white; he filming me. I'm a nigga. I don't know what you mean, man. Don't come at me with that dumb shit ma'am. My life matter. Especially to my bitches.

Did Wayne forget his own songs? Or is he trying to appease a corporate sponsor, as Charlamagne suggests?
Lil Wayne beat out Floyd Mayweather with that dumb ass interview...
