Lil Wayne Hands Out Pink Slips After Nightmare #BLM Drama, Tried To Block Interview

Grammy-winning rapper Lil Wayne has taken drastic measures following the release of his jaw-dropping anti-Black Lives Matter “Nightline” interview. Weezy F. Baby has reportedly fired his publicists.

According to reports, Wayne lost his cool and handed out pink slips over his team’s inability to block the clip from airing.

Sources connected to Wayne tell TMZ … the rapper’s camp sent the network several emails insisting the interview never see the light of day, but ABC never responded. ABC News tells us nothing was pre-approved with Wayne’s camp, and, “When it came to the questions and the topics of the interview nothing was off limits.” Wayne was definitely not happy — we’re told he fired his publicists when the segment aired.

Entertainment personality Dr. Boyce Watkins has publicly ripped Wayne over his open apology for exploding during the “Nightline” interview.

“Hey what’s up, I’m Dr. Boyce Watkins. I’m here in Treport, Louisiana and I heard that Lil Wayne apologized for his disrespectful remarks about Black Lives Matter, about black people, about black women and you know, I would say it’s fine to apologize. But the thing is, he has to show that his apology is more than just a ploy for money or to protect his brand. The fact of the matter, brother, is you have a lot to apologize for. You really need to kind of apologize for the last 15 years. You’ve got a daughter and you’ve been calling a lot of other people’s daughters b*tches and h*es but in the interview you got mad because the interviewer said – asked you how you feel about your own daughter being cast as a b*tch and a h*e. Well, if you don’t like your own daughter being cast in that light, why are you putting my daughter in that light? Why are you putting other black men’s daughters in that light? Or just other men’s daughters and women’s daughters in that light? It’s wrong. I think you need to apologize a lot. I think about 8,000 apologies will do the trick.”

After massive backlash, Wayne issued an apology over his hard-hitting Black Lives Matter remarks.

Wayne tells TMZ … “When the reporter began asking me questions about my daughter being labeled a b*tch and a h*e, I got agitated. From there, there was no thought put into her questions and my responses.” Wayne told us, “Apologies to anyone who was offended.” (TMZ)

Early Wednesday (November 2) a new Lil Wayne interview went viral with him talking about his distanced feelings toward Black Lives Matter.

“What is it? What do you mean? 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 f*cked up reason,” Wayne explained in an interview when asked about Black Lives Matter. “I don’t feel connected to a damn thing that ain’t got nothin’ to do with me. If you do, you crazy as sh*t. You. Not the camera. You. Feeling connected to something that ain’t got nothing to do with you? If it ain’t got nothing to do with me, I ain’t connected to it.” (“Nightline”)
