Military Reacts To Lil Wayne's Flag Dance - Business Insider

By now you may have seen the YouTube video that shows Lil Wayne dancing on an American Flag after it was dropped at his feet on the set of his newest music video.

If not, don’t worry, here it is below:

Lil Wayne - Steps on the US flag - God Bless America - HD - YouTube

The 30-year-old rapper was in New Orleans filming the video for his song “God Bless Amerika.”

Wayne has said that he didn’t mean to step on the flag, even though the video depicts him looking down and dancing on it.

It doesn't look like the military community is buying it.

“All Americans should treat (the flag) with respect,” said John Raughter, an American Legion spokesman, told the New York Daily News. “It is the American flag that is draped across the coffins of our fallen heroes when they come back from war. In fact, any veteran can have a flag on their coffin. As such, it’s entitled to the highest respect.”

It was never my intention to desecrate the flag of the United States of America. I was shooting a video for a song off my album entitled "God Bless Amerika". The clip that surfaced on the Internet was a camera trick clip that revealed that behind the American Flag was the Hoods of America. In the final edit of the video you will see the flag fall to reveal what is behind it but will never see it on the ground. In most people eyes including my own who were raised in that environment, the Hood is the only America they know and the only America I knew growing up. I was fortunate from my God giving talents to escape the Hood and see the other beautiful places this country has to offer but most people who are born in that environment don't get that chance. That's their view of their America. That was Dwayne M Carter from Hollygrove New Orleans view of America. That's who I'm speaking for in this song.
