Lil Wayne: Emmett Till Lyric On 'Karate Chop (Remix)' May Land Weezy F. Baby In Hot Water With Mountain Dew

Even though his offending lines have been removed from the remix of Future song "Karate Chop," Lil' Wayne is still feeling the heat for his words regarding slain teenager Emmet Till. Till's family is pushing for Mountain Dew to revoke their sponsorship of Weezy F. Baby for his insensitive remarks about Till.

 Beat the p---y up like Emmett Till," Wayne rapped in the original version of the song. Till was an African-American teenager from Chicago who was visiting relatives in Mississippi in 1955. He allegedly whistled at a white woman. Several nights later, relatives of the woman dragged the 14 year old Till out of his home, took him to a barn, beat him, gouged one of his eyes out and shot him in the head.

The men disposed of Till's body by tying a cotton gin engine around his neck with barbed wire and tossing him into the Tallahatchie River. When Till's body returned to Chicago, Till's mother had a public funeral service with an open casket so that news outlets and visitors could see the brutal way in which her son was murdered. The murder brought intense scrutiny upon race relations and Mississippi and is often cited as an inspiration for the Civil Rights Movement.

The family feels that Wayne's words trivialized the events and has called for a boycott of Mountain Dew (Wayne is a spokesperson for the drink) until the company drops him.

"We...support blocking and banning the endorsements." A Till representative says in the above YouTube video. "I've maintained through February, Don't do the Dew. His biggest endorsement is through Pepsi's Mountain Dew. Stop buying it, stop lining his pockets. People are outraged because they feel that he should apologize to our family."

The move is drawing parallels to the controversy over Rick Ross' verse on "UOENO." Feminist group UltraViolet pushed Reebok into dropping Ross after he penned lyrics that appeared to be about drugging and raping a woman.
