Lil Wayne Apologizes For Black Lives Matter comments

Wayne explains why he dissed Black Lives Matter on Nightline.

Hours after standing by his rant against the Black Lives Matter movement, Lil Wayne has apologized for the comments.

Wayne explained to TMZ that he was upset by host Lindsay Davis's line of questioning about his daughter. "When the reporter began asking me questions about my daughter being labeled a bitch and a hoe, I got agitated," he said. "From there, there was no thought put into her questions and my responses."

He extended the following apology: "Apologies to anyone who was offended."

Davis asked Wayne if he would be offended if someone called his daughter a "bitch" or a "hoe," as he has called many women in his music. Later in the interview, Wayne rubbed many viewers the wrong way when he said he doesn't care about the Black Lives Matter movement and added that anyone who does is "crazy as shit." "My life matter, especially to my bitches," he said.

Azealia Banks Apologizes for Use of Homophobic Slur on Facebook

Azealia Banks is infamous for not holding back when she has something on her mind. Recently, she's gotten her into a whole lot of hot water that left herTwitter account suspended and her slot as the headliner of a U.K. festival canceled. Perhaps sensing finally that she had gone to far, the young rapper took some time out to pen a lengthy apology letter Friday, specifically for her use of a particular homophobic slur.

"I'm never saying the word F****T ever again," Banks post on Facebook began. "This isn't a cop out, its just me realizing that words hurt. and while i may be immune to every word and be thicker skinned than most, it doesn't mean that i get to go around treating people with the same toughness that made my skin so thick." She then went on to add, "To end this note i want to SINCERELY apologize to my fans for having let so many of you down over the years. I know that you all want nothing else for me but to see me win, and i thank the many of you who saw the beauty in me and have stuck around this far."

Banks has used the offending word on numerous occasions in the past, even going so far as to defend it as coming from a place of feminism. Clearly, the outcry against such a stance finally reached a boiling point, which ultimately resulted in the apology she's just now issued. You can read her statement in full below.
