UPDATE: Lil’ Wayne (Supposedly) Disrespects The US Flag In Upcoming Video; Wayne Responds

UPDATE: Lil Wayne has since responded to the above video in a message to Karen Civil:

It was never my intention to desecrate the flag of the United States of America. I was shooting a video for a song off my album entitled “God Bless Amerika”. The clip that surfaced on the Internet was a camera trick clip that revealed that behind the American Flag was the Hoods of America. In the final edit of the video you will see the flag fall to reveal what is behind it but will never see it on the ground. In most people eyes including my own who were raised in that environment, the Hood is the only America they know and the only America I knew growing up. I was fortunate from my God giving talents to escape the Hood and see the other beautiful places this country has to offer but most people who are born in that environment don’t get that chance. That’s their view of their America. That was Dwayne M Carter from Hollygrove New Orleans view of America. That’s who I’m speaking for in this song.

The flag drops, his still-being-recorded performance scene continues, and the hickory smoked citizens go nuts. Wait until the video drops first.

LIVE STREAM: FIFA World Cup 2014 Qualifying – Costa Rica Vs. Panama

10PM EDT is the starting time. To get to the action, click to the next page below (or click on the above image).

If CONCACAF World Cup Qualifying ended ahead of this match, Costa Rica would be off to Brazil while Panama would be going on summer vacation.

Both sides have played five matches coming into Tuesday’s showdown in San Jose, and at the halfway point of the schedule, Costa Rica are second to the United States in The Hex with eight points—three places up on Panama, who are just two points adrift but second from bottom in the six-team table.

Panama have never progressed to a World Cup finals, but never before have they had a side quite as good as this. Already they have picked up a win against Honduras and a draw at home to Mexico, and their 2-0 defeat to the United States last week was their only loss of The Hex so far.

Costa Rica, meanwhile, partook in the World Cups of 1990 (where they made the Round of 16), 2002 and 2006 and, like Panama, have lost only to the United States in the fourth round of CONCACAF qualifying.
