Lil Wayne has set social media ablaze once again. But this time, he’s done more than insult the morality police who often take him to task for his controversial rhymes.
On a leaked version of the rapper Future’s remixed “Karate Chop” song, Lil Wayne raps that he would “beat that [expletive] up like Emmett Till.” His record label, Epic Records, was forced to release a statement Wednesday night offering its regrets and vowing to go to “great efforts” to remove the version from the Web, as the Till family and African American leaders expressed outrage. Lil Wayne has yet to issue a public comment.
