Lil Wayne was criticized heavily last week for his interview on ABC's "Nightline," in which he gave a bizarre answer to a question from host Linsey Davis about the Black Lives Matter movement.
"That just sounds weird that you put a name on it.," Wayne told 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."
T.I. was shown the video by his children and responded over the weekend with an Instagram post lashing out at Wayne for not being socially conscious and lacking leadership skills.
"Bro if you don't stand for something out here,all the money,jewelry,cars,mansions bandannas & hit records don't mean shit!," Tip wrote. "Our people are being oppressed! We are being hunted,captured & slaughtered out here daily! You have to get outta that bubble that you've been living in & get out here & educate yourself on what's going on around US!!! I'm always here to share whatever knowledge or understanding I may have to assist your growth & development,but u MUST STOP this buffoonery & coonin' you out here doin."
On Monday, November 7, Wayne's 17-year old daughter, Reginae Carter, fired back at Tip for publicly airing his grievance with her dad, instead of speaking to him privately.
"You lost his number?" Reginae responded directly to T.I.'s post. "You should've copied and pasted this and sent it to him thru via text, but u wanna seek for attention."
Reginae later tweeted that people shouldn't diss her dad or mother, Toya Wright.
"DO NOT COME FOR TOYA AND WAYNE . Just point.blank.period."
