T.I. Says He and Lil Wayne Haven’t Spoken Since Tip Blasted Him Over Black Lives Matter Comment

It’s been almost six months since T.I. took to Instagram to tell Lil Wayne to stop the “buffoonery & coonin’” regarding his Black Lives Matter comment during an interview with ABC’s Nightline. But the two longtime friends have still not spoken to each other, Tip recently revealed in an interview with SXSW obtained by Baller Alert.

As the Atlanta native sits on the stage with Sway, he takes questions from the audience. An editor from BallerAlert.com asks him had they spoken. Tip answers:

I ain’t spoke to lil’ bro. That was probably one of the most difficult responses or one of the most difficult tasks I have been faced with…I was speaking to him but I know that my words weren’t necessarily going to affect him as much as they would the people who were following behind. We can’t allow the fans and followers of lil’ bro to think that ‘Okay, well if he said it and don’t nobody address it, it must be cool. So then I can go ahead and feel like this too.’ But no, then you got a little army of people going around and that’s counterproductive to the movement. I just wanted to let people know, ‘No this ain’t right. This ain’t cool. This ain’t what’s up.’ It wasn’t even in any way for me to attempt to be disrespectful to him but just to let everybody know this ain’t cool.

@liltunechi This is my son & daughter showing me this for the first time & asking me what you mean? I'm at a complete loss of words here. Wayne I've known you over a decade. Our daughters grew up together practically. Reginae' spent countless times at my house with Niq-Niq when you were in prison & you extended my daughter the same courtesy when I was in the same position. 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 nigga U TRIPPING!!!! I don't know what you goin thru,or what you are attempting to avoid but this shit is absolutely unacceptable!!!! You're disrespecting yourself,bringing shame on your family name & tarnishing your legacy. You have children (including mines prior to now) that have looked up to you. You have sons & a daughter that depend upon your leadership. Bro if you don't stand for something out here,all the money,jewelry,cars,mansions bandannas & hit records don't mean shit!!!! 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!!! I'm always here to share whatever knowledge or understanding I may have to assist your growth & development,but u MUST STOP this buffoonery & coonin' you out here doin. You looking like somebody who has something to gain or lose by pretending like it's not as bad as BLM making it seem & you're not aware of an issue that needs to be addressed. That's what would be considered "Uncle Tom Shit"…. I know U,YOURE BETTER THAN THIS!!!!! I've been proud to call myself a fan & a friend of Lil Wayne ,but if that must end in order to stand up for those who can't do it for themselves…So be it. If you're not prepared for a question in an interview,say No Comment Bro. But stop embarrassing yourself & everyone out here who's been supporting you. There is no middle ground. Oppression knows no neutral party,either you're part of the oppressed,or you with the oppressor. There is no such thing as oppression not affecting you. It's #USorELSE out here
