Video Footage Of Lil’ Wayne Speaking On Uncle Luke’s Letter (99 Jamz Interview)
This is a video clip showing part of the interview we posted earlier, which shows Felicia Monet as she speaks to Lil’ Wayne. Reports HipHopDX:
After Lil’ Wayne recently cursed out the Miami Heat (specifically LeBron James, Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh), Luther “Luke” Campbell wrote a letter taking not only Wayne to task, but his own city. Now, Wayne has responded.
“I can’t change nobody’s personal opinion. I can’t change nobody’s personal view,” said Wayne in an interview with 99 Jamz. “I can just keep doing what I do and keep putting food on the table for my family and that’s what I’m going to do no matter what.
“I haven’t [read Luke’s letter], but I already know how he feels about me,” continued Wayne, referring specifically to the letter. “I’ve never met him actually. …Ever since I got here, there were billboards and signs saying, ‘Lil Wayne, Go Back Home,’ you know what I mean? And I didn’t do anything.”
Though Miami’s perception of Wayne has apparently become frosty, he has no intentions of leaving the city. “This is Miami, I can’t move,” said the Young Money general. “I got the best skate weather, ever, down here. … Like I said, the main thing I really want to get out there is that I do apologize for the misunderstanding to the city of Miami. I love everyone here, it’s just I’m passionate about sports and I felt very disrespected, that’s all. I felt very, very disrespected.”
The altercation between Lil Wayne and the Miami Heat began when Wayne claimed he was kicked out of a game for rooting for the Los Angeles Lakers.

Lil Wayne Dated Adrienne Bosh Before She Got Married?
Reports Global Grind:
Global Grind’s entertainment editor BlogXilla has learned from a very reliable source that Lil Wayne and Adrienne Bosh were an item before she got married to the NBA baller.
According to reports, Mrs. Bosh, then Adrienne “short stack” Williams, was a regular in the industry night life and she worked up quite a rep for herself. They say she was a fixture in the VIP sections at a lot of popular Atlanta nightclubs back in the day. Wayne messed with the Cincinnati, Ohio native back when she was still modeling for magazines like Smooth Magazine, but things turned sour when she allegedly scammed Lil Wayne out of a lot of money.

“Truth prevails. Today stand in your truth and ignore the chatter around and about you. #myhighestself #TodayICan #chakrawisdom. Some people create hate for profit, and some people create love for free. Pay no mind to the haters, embrace the love. #TodayICan. #TodayICan ignore those who live in hate for their own ego, and keep my eyes on pure love. They will never bring me down.

Stevie Wonder Speaks Out About Lil’ Wayne Emmett Till Line
In the midst of the growing backlash due to one lyric from Future’s song, Stevie Wonder has now throw himself into the pot:
“You can’t equate that to Emmett Till. You just cannot do that. … I think you got to have someone around you that – even if they are the same age or older – is wiser to say, `Yo, that’s not happening. Don’t do that.’
Sometimes people have to put themselves in the place of people who they are talking about. Imagine if that happened to your mother, brother, daughter or your son. How would you feel? Have some discernment before we say certain things. That goes for me or any other (song)writer.
Epic ‘Pulls’ Song With Lil’ Wayne Emmett Till Lyric
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Epic Records is going to “great efforts” to take down a new Future remix leaked over the weekend with a vulgar Lil Wayne lyric that has offended the family of Emmett Till.
The New Orleans rapper made a sexual reference to the beating death of Till, a 14-year-old Chicago boy tortured and shot in Mississippi in 1955 for whistling at a white woman. Till’s family objected and the Rev. Jesse Jackson reached out to his management, The Blueprint Group, on the family’s behalf.
The label issued a statement Wednesday night apologizing for the release of the song.
“We regret the unauthorized remix version of Future’s ‘Karate Chop,’ which was leaked online and contained hurtful lyrics,” the statement said. “Out of respect for the legacy of Emmett Till and his family and the support of the Reverend Jesse L. Jackson, Sr. … we are going through great efforts to take down the unauthorized version.”
Epic will release an official version of the song that “will not include such references.”
Neither Jackson nor members of Till’s family could be reached late Wednesday. A publicist says Lil Wayne has had no comment so far.
He appears briefly on the song, alluding to the black teenager’s beating in a way too vulgar to print.
Till, a native of Chicago, was in Mississippi visiting family in 1955 when he was killed. He was beaten, had his eyes gouged out and was shot in the head before his assailants tied a cotton gin fan to his body with barbed wire and tossed his body into the Tallahatchie River. Two white men, including the woman’s husband, were acquitted of the killing by an all-white jury.
Till’s body was recovered and returned to Chicago where his mother, Mamie Till, insisted on having an open casket at his funeral. The pictures of his battered body helped push civil rights into the cultural conversation in the U.S.
Bob Dylan wrote a song about it: “The Death of Emmett Till.”
A Facebook posting on the Mamie Till Mobley Memorial Foundation page Wednesday night said Epic Records Chairman and CEO LA Reid had reached out to the family to personally apologize.
