The weird murder of George Floyd by a White Minneapolis cop has caused debates, protests, and more across the country as we continue to hear and see disturbing instances of racism in the United States.

Meek Mill, Ice Cube and more celebrities have reacted to the killing of Floyd this week and Lil Wayne is the latest to speak his mind, explaining that if we want to place blame on anybody for what happened, it should be on ourselves.

During a recent chat with Fat Joe on Instagram live, Lil Wayne said that he thinks we could all be blamed for what happened to George Floyd. “I think when we see these situations, I think we also have to understand that we have to get very specific,” he explained.

“And what I mean by that is we have to stop viewing it with such a broad view, meaning we have to stop placing the blame on the whole force and the whole everybody or a certain race or everybody with a badge.”

“We have to actually get into who that person is. And if we want to place the blame on anybody, it should be ourselves for not doing more than what we think we’re doing,” said Wayne.

And on why he hasn’t made a public statement about this, Wayne said “What else am I gonna do after that?” he said. “Some people put a tweet out and they think they did something. Some people wear a shirt and they think they did something. What you gonna do after that? Did you actually help the person?

Did you actually help the family? Did you actually go out there and do something? So, if I ain’t about to do all that, then I ain’t about to do nothing. I’ll pray for ya.”
