After Lil Wayne’s dismissive comments about the Black Lives Matter movement in an interview on ABC’s Nightline last week (“I don’t know what it is” and, “My life matter, especially to my bitches“), many were disappointed by Weezy’s response. Though Wayne has since apologized, T.I. wants Lil Wayne to go further and to embrace the activist movement. On Instagram, the rapper wrote a lengthy post calling out Lil Wayne directly for his “absolutely unacceptable” stance. The two rappers have known each other for over a decade, and T.I. acknowledged that Lil Wayne has a unique outlook, “Our relationship outside of music is what makes me sensitive to your disposition. I know you wired a bit different than most other responsible adult.” Yet, that “disposition” does not excuse Wayne in T.I.’s eyes:

You’re disrespecting yourself, bringing shame on your family name & tarnishing your legacy. You have children (including mines prior to now) that have looked up to you. You have sons & a daughter that depend upon your leadership. Bro if you don’t stand for something out here,all the money,jewelry,cars,mansions bandannas & hit records don’t mean shit!!!! Our people are being oppressed!!!

T.I., whose recent EP Us or Else raged against police brutality, went on to accuse Lil Wayne, “Oppression knows no neutral party, either you’re part of the oppressed, or you with the oppressor. There is no such thing as oppression not affecting you.” Read T.I.’s full post below.
