Lil Wayne Apologizes To Emmett Till's Family During Live Show

Lil Wayne came under fire when Future's "Karate Chop (Remix)" dropped due to a controversial lyric where Weezy rapped, "beat that pussy up like Emmett Till."

Now, Wayne 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, Wayne 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.
