After a run-in with the family of Emmitt Till, losing his Mountain Dew endorsement deal, and being dropped from the official “Karate Chop (Remix),” the discussion surrounding Lil Wayne‘s facetious lyrics still continues. Standing beside the rapper, Future called in to Power 106 LA to speak to Big Boy and give his point of view on the matter, where he stated:
