Lil Wayne has, on repeated occasions now, expressed outright disdain for the Black Lives Matter movement. When asked about it, he responds indignantly, as if offended that somebody might be curious about his thoughts on one of the most prominent social movements of our time.
So of course, any interviewer worth their salt is going to mention it because they know that, more likely than not, they’re going to get a headline-worthy quote out of him. And so we get this clip from an interview Wayne did with Nightline that aired Tuesday night.
Watch below.

I don’t know man. I hate when people tell entertainers and athletes to shut up about politics and social issues and to “stick to” whatever field it is that they’ve found success in, as if being famous somehow disqualifies you from having a reasoned opinion on something. But on this topic, Wayne needs to shut his damn mouth and stick to Rap.
