Musical legend Stevie Wonder has shared his opinion on Lil Wayne's controversial lyrical reference to Emmett Till on Future's "Karate Chop" remix. Regarding Wayne's "beat the p***y up like Emmett Till" line, the iconic singer-songwriter said that someone have taken Wayne aside and let him know that making such an analogy wasn't appropriate at all.
"You can't equate that to Emmett Till. You just cannot do that," he explained. "I think you got to have someone around you that - even if they are the same age or older - is wiser to say, 'Yo, that's not happening. Don't do that'...sometimes people have to put themselves in the place of people who they are talking about. Imagine if that happened to your mother, brother, daughter or your son. How would you feel? Have some discernment before we say certain things. That goes for me or any other writer."
