Lil Wayne Dismisses Black Lives Matter: ‘Don’t Come at Me with that Dumb Ass Shit’

Lil Wayne Dismisses Black Lives Matter: “Don’t Come at Me With That Dumb Ass Shit” (Spin)

Last night, Lil Wayne was interviewed on Nightline. During the interview, Wayne was asked about his feelings on Black Lives Matter—a movement he subsequently dismissed as not being worth his time. Interviewer Linsey Davis gave him more than enough room to explain himself, but Lil Wayne doubled down.

Lil Wayne: That just sounds weird, I don’t know, that you put a name on it. 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 that matter these days, I don’t know what it is.  [Points at cameraman] That man white, he’s filming me: I’m a nigga. I don’t know what you mean, man. Don’t come at me with with that dumb ass shit, ma’am. My life matter. [Looks at camera] Especially to my bitches.
