The Haute Living cover star continued: ‘And I said: “They be angry when they see a Black man with someone else other than African-American women in general.”‘
On Lil Wayne’s show early last month he said: ‘When you see a lot of sisters, they go: “Oh, you f***ing this kinda girl or that kinda girl?” That s*** is exotic! That s*** look a lot different from the s*** that you see in the neighborhood all the time.’
As Lil Wayne melted into laughter his guest continued: ‘That s*** look like it’s come off a boat, baby. You don’t like that, mother****er? You don’t like that? You go: “Goddamn, what’s the matter with you?”‘

He said that Black women ‘get mad. They get angry. “How did you end up with this mother***er or this, that?” I’m like: “Huh?”‘
The In Da Club hitmaker said: ‘I just look at it like: “Oh, look at this angry – ” and then my instincts always makes me defensive. So I go: “Look at this angry Black mother***er. Get the f*** outta here, b***, trying to f*** up the whole vibe.”‘
