Lil Wayne Apologizes To Emmett Till’s Family At Show

Lil Wayne saw critical backlash —and lost his Mountain Dew endorsement — because of his infamous line, “beat that pu—y up like Emmett Till,” on Future’s “Karate Chop.”

Though he issued a written apology to the Till family in May, the YMCMB rhymer felt it appropriate to send his regards again during a recent performance. It all went down at the Nashville, Tenn. stop of his America’s Most Wanted Music Festival.

As the band played the track’s sweeping melody, Weezy swapped out the original line with “I apologize to the family of Emmett Till. Two fingers in the air,” before continuing his verse.
