T.I. Goes Off On Lil Wayne For Dismissing the Black Lives Matter Movement

He also offers some sound advice.

T.I.'s daughter and son are keeping their father hip to what currently is trending in hip-hop related news, but when it came down to his children showing them what Lil Wayne had to say during his recent Nightlight interview, Tip had no choice but to come for the rapper.

"I'm at a complete loss for words here," the rapper writes, on a video clip recording of Wayne speaking on Black Lives Matter, as if during the disastrous interview, he was just hearing those three words for the first time.

Considering T.I. has effectively utilized his platform as a reputed rapper countless times to speak out intelligently on issues of racial inequality and police brutality, it is no surprise that he had trouble digesting what Weezy was trying to say in his now-viral interview.

In his reactionary post, T.I. also points out how their children practically grew up together, and how each were there for the other while dealing with outside circumstances, such as when Wayne was in prison.

"Our relationship outside of music is what makes me sensitive to your disposition," T.I. continues. "I KNOW you wired a bit different than most other responsible adults, but still n***a U TRIPPING!!!! I don't know what you goin thru,or what you are attempting to avoid but this s**t is absolutely unacceptable!!!!"

T.I. then dives deep into it, mentioning how Lil Wayne's commentary is "tarnishing" his legacy. He then hits a personal nerve, mentioning how his very children used to look up to Weezy prior to this, putting it into a perspective that forces the rapper to think about the consequences he now inevitably has to face as a result of his actions.

"Our people are being oppressed!!!" he writes. "We are being hunted, captured & slaughtered out here daily!!! You have to get outta that bubble that you've been living in & get out here & educate yourself on what's going on around US!!!"

T.I. then goes on to remind Wayne he's always available to share "whatever knowledge or understanding" he may have in order to assist in Weezy's growth & development, further pleading him to stop what he's currently doing. He also adds the tough love reminder that if Wayne isn't prepared for a question in an interview, he's allowed to say "no comment, bro."

"But stop embarrassing yourself & everyone out here who's been supporting you," Tip concludes.

Hopefully if anyone can get through to Lil Wayne, it'll be T.I.
