Lil Wayne
The American star believes there’s "no such thing as racism."
Lil Wayne is currently promoting his prison diary Gone Til November, and a Rikers Island, a journal interviewed the American rap artist and he reacted as saying he doesn't know anything call racism.
Lil Wayne said he could remember shooting himself when he was a teenager, 12-year-old to be precise, that it was a white as snow police officer that came to his rescue, He said the police "jumped over" his body as he lay injured on the ground. They were looking for "guns and drugs and whatever,” he recalled. Finally, an officer who called himself Uncle Bob stopped them all, picked Wayne up, and asked someone to drive them to the hospital.
"He brought me to the hospital room," and "He stood there and waited until the doctor said, ‘He’s gonna make it.’ He said, ‘Don’t worry. My name’s Uncle Bob.’ He was white as snow. Them motherfu**ers that hopped over me was blacker than me. Yeah, he was a cop and my life was saved by a white man. I don’t know what racism is. I know a good motherfu**er named Uncle Bob, though."
Tunechi with The New York Times, earlier in the week echoed these sentiments in an interview.
"I was on a sports show recently, and I was asked a question like that about black lives or whatever," he said. "When we got off the air, (the host) Shannon Sharpe said: ‘I really want to commend you for answering like that, because you didn’t make something up just to make yourself one of us. And to make yourself a victim.’ I’m not that. And honestly, I don’t care. I care what’s going on with me and my kids and my world and my mom and who’s going to pay this next bill. That’s what matters to me."
