Mountain Dew Drops Lil’ Wayne

Bad news for Wayne: even after suffering from a seizure earlier this week, Mountain Dew has cut ties with the rapper.

The move stems from the controversy surrounding Weezy’s Emmett Till reference on “Karate Chop (Remix)”. In a statement, Mountain Dew’s parent company PepsiCo said:

“offensive reference to a revered civil rights icon does not reflect the values of our brand.”
