Original Story Earlier this year, Cash Money Records superstar Lil Wayne angered the family of slain Civil Rights figure Emmett Till on his lyrics to Future's "Karate Chop Remix." While Wayne subsequently apologized for his "beat the pussy up like Emmett Till" lyric making light of the 1955 murder of the teenager, he may now be upsetting American patriots.
Video footage, courtesy of TMZ.com, surfaced of Wayne recently filming the video to "God Bless Amerika." The Cool & Dre-produced song, which appears on this year's I Am Not A Human Being II, contains lyrics "the stars on the flag are never shinin'." Wayne further stressed his opinion at the shoot to the song's music video. A witness captured a take where Wayne appears to intentionally dance on a fallen American flag.

In the United States Flag Code, it is stated that the flag should never touch the ground, as well as "the flag should never be stepped on." While the code is federal law, there is no legal penalty for failure to comply.
