It took several months, but Lil Wayne has finally apologized to the family of Emmett Till for his offensive lyrics in Future's song, "Karate Chop."

 

"Pop a lot of pain pills/Bout to put rims on my skateboard wheels/Beat that p*ssy up like Emmett Till," Wayne rapped in the song, which leaked onto the internet back in February.

 

As we previously reported, Till's family was very upset by the lyrics.The 14-year old boy was brutally murdered in Mississippi after whistling at a white woman in 1955.

Today Wayne finally issued an apology. Read it below.

 

Dear Till Family:

 

As a recording artist, I have always been interested in word play. My lyrics often reference people, places and events in my music, as well as the music that I create for or alongside other artists.

 

It has come to my attention that lyrics from my contribution to a fellow artist’s song has deeply offended your family. As a father myself, I cannot imagine the pain that your family has had to endure. I would like to take a moment to acknowledge your hurt, as well as the letter you sent to me via your attorneys.

 

Moving forward, I will not use or reference Emmett Till or the Till family in my music, especially in an inappropriate manner. I fully support Epic Record’s decision to take down the unauthorized version of the song and to not include the reference in the version that went to retail. I will not be performing the lyrics that contain that reference live and have removed them from my catalogue.

 

I have tremendous respect for those who paved the way for the liberty and opportunities that African-Americans currently enjoy. As a business owner who employs several African-American employees and gives philanthropically to organizations that help youth to pursue their dreams my ultimate intention is to uplift rather than degrade our community.

 

Best,

Dwayne Michael Carter, Jr.
Lil Wayne
