Hip Hop DX - Lil Wayne Apologizes To Emmett Till's Family lyrics

Lil Wayne came under fire when Future's 'Karate Chop (Remix)' dropped due to a controversial lyric where he rapped, 'beat that p**y up like Emmett Till' Now, he has apologized to Till's family during a live show. In the middle of performing 'Karate Chop' at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee. Instead of his original lyric, he rhymed, 'I apologize to the family of Emmett Till' In February, Till's cousin reacted to the original lyrics, saying Lil Wayne has 'no pride and no dignity' as a black man So intense was the backlash from the lyrics that Wayne lost a sponsorship from Mountain Dew and was banned from a Michigan radio station. In April, Talib Kweli suggested that Wayne apologize to Till's family, and in May, Wayne issued a public apology to Till's family
