Some pictures were leaked of Lil Wayne stepping on the American flag in his new video “God Bless Amerika.” If you don’t know already it is VERY disrespectful to even have the flag on the ground let alone standing on it. Now the thing is did he do it or purpose? Well Lil Wayne took to his Twitter and Facebook to respond to all the backlashing.
Twitter:
I didn’t step on the flag on purpose! It’s a scene in a video where the flag drops behind me and after it drop it’s just there as I perform
Facebook:
It was never my intention to desecrate the flag of the United States of America. I was shooting a video for a song off my album entitled “God Bless Amerika”. The clip that surfaced on the Internet was a camera trick clip that revealed that behind the American Flag was the Hoods of America. In the final edit of the video you will see the flag fall to reveal what is behind it but will never see it on the ground. In most people eyes including my own who were raised in that environment, the Hood is the only America they know and the only America I knew growing up. I was fortunate from my God giving talents to escape the Hood and see the other beautiful places this country has to offer but most people who are born in that environment don’t get that chance. That’s their view of their America. That was Dwayne M Carter from Hollygrove New Orleans view of America. That’s who I’m speaking for in this song.
I honesty do believe that the flag fell behind him but that’s when he’s supposed to stop what he is doing to get that right, but instead he kept the video going. Let me know that you think about this whole situation. Was Lil Wayne intentionally being disrespectful?
Publicity hate that man for no apparent reason. Smdh
