The 36-year-old rapper took to Instagram to call him out after Wayne told Nightline that he didn’t feel connected to the Black Lives Matter movement. You can watch that interview below.
“I’m at a complete loss of words here. Wayne I’ve known you over a decade. Our daughters grew up together practically,” T.I. wrote. “Our relationship outside of music is what makes me sensitive to your disposition. I KNOW you wired a bit different than most other responsible adults, but still n—a U TRIPPING!!!!”
He continued, “I don’t know what you goin thru,or what you are attempting to avoid but this sh-t is absolutely unacceptable!!!! You’re disrespecting yourself,bringing shame on your family name & tarnishing your legacy…Our people are being oppressed!!! We are being hunted,captured & slaughtered out here daily!!! You have to get outta that bubble that you’ve been living in & get out here & educate yourself on what’s going on around US!!!”
“Oppression knows no neutral party,either you’re part of the oppressed,or you with the oppressor,” T.I. added. “There is no such thing as oppression not affecting you. It’s #USorELSE out here”
