Prominent rapper Lil Wayne has received a lot of backlash for a comment he made during a Nightline interview regarding the Black Lives Matter movement.

Interviewer Lindsey Davis questioned the rapper regarding comments that deem his music "vulgar," "offensive" and "misogynistic." Wayne calmly responds that his music—no matter how it's labeled—has made him who he is, aka "a very successful man."

Davis then asks Wayne if he would have an issue if someone were to call his daughter a "bitch" or a "hoe." Wayne keeps his composure when he responds he would have a "a huge problem with that," but his facial expression certainly reveals his irritation. He also justifies that he hasn't referred to a specific woman with derogatory words unless it's someone he has a big issue with.

Wayne's annoyance at the question is what allegedly leads into his Black Lives Matter rant when Davis asks what his thoughts are on the movement. Wayne reaffirms his stance, from a previous interview on Fox's Undisputed, that America clearly understands black people since there are successful black men like him who have never experienced racism. However, Wayne did state on Undisputed that he's aware racism exists, he's just never personally experienced it.

Wayne's comments sparked a lot of controversy from the Undisputed interview alone, and now his Nightline rant portrays him in a negative light: "I am a young, black, rich [man]. If that don't let you know that America understand that black fuckin lives matter, then I don't know what it is. Don't come at me with that dumb shit ma'am. My life matters, especially to my bitch." Wayne's answer is insensitive and completely self-centered. Just because something hasn't personally affected you doesn't mean you can't support it. Although, I can also understand Wayne's perspective. How can you say you support something if you truly can't comprehend its meaning or signficance?

Wayne, however, has apologized to anyone his message may have offended. He told TMZ that Davis's question regarding his daughter upset him; thus, there was no real thought put into his following answers.

Regardless of his apology, it's still clear from his Undisputed interview that he doesn't support nor condemn the movement simply because he does not understand its purpose.

So to those who are bashing Wayne, you're wasting your breath. Move on to more important matters like educating people about the movement's significance rather than criticizing. The racism and police brutality that Black Lives Matter stemmed from may be a macro issue that everyone should easily acknowledge and oppose, but we should never assume that people will understand something from our perspective (no matter how immoral the issue at hand is).
