In the wake of nationwide protests, Lil Wayne has recounted his experience with a White cop who saved his life when he was 12.
Rapper Lil Wayne has doubled down on his support for cops in the wake of George Floyd‘s death. The 37-year-old came under fire earlier in the week when he suggested that activists were also to blame for the unarmed black man’s tragic death. Now, he’s appeared on the latest episode of “Young Money Radio” on Apple Music, to further explain his thoughts about the police following nationwide outcry and protests in support of the Black Lives Matter movement.
“My life was saved when I was young,” he began. “I was 12 or something, I think. Shot myself. I was saved by a white cop, Uncle Bob. So you have to understand… you have to understand the way I view police, period. I was saved by a white cop. There was a bunch of black cops jumped over me when they saw me at that door, laying on the floor with that hole in my chest. He refused to. He said, ‘I found this baby on this floor. I need to get to a hospital.’ He didn’t wait for an ambulance. He took his car.
