T.I. is defending Beyonce in the wake of the criticism she's been receiving for her performance during the halftime show at Super Bowl 50.
As we previously reported, an "Anti-Beyonce" protest against will take place outside of the NFL headquarters in New York City on February 16.
The group organizing the rally have said that the singer's routine was a form of "race-baiting." And called her salute to the Black Panther Party "a slap in the face to law enforcement."
TMZ caught up with Tip to get his opinion regarding Beyonce's performance and the ensuing controversy.
"It's an attack on cops that attack our people," he said. "How they gon' protest against our protest? I don't think that Beyonce was being malicious in any way, in her demonstration. And I feel that anything that is done to demonstrate a pure demonstration is gon' lose in the end. Everything that we're doing as far as the Black Lives Matter movement ... it is to speak out and fight against unnecessary, unlawful deaths of our people by people who are supposed to be in a position of authority to protect and serve our people. If you are against that, then to me that is un-American."
What's your take on what T.I. had to say?
