Lil Wayne’s been in hot, hot water ever since footage surfaced of him trampling all over the American flag while filming a music video. Today, he took to Twitter to explain away his actions — poorly:
I didn't step on the flag on purpose! It's a scene in a video where the flag drops behind me and after it drop it's just there as I perform

That lame excuse may be enough for a few of his supporters:
@NickBrinley @LilTunechi and what if he was too pre occupied entertaining that he didnt realize?

But the rest of us are calling B.S. on Weezy:
So @LilTunechi is saying he "accidentally" walked on the flag. Except watch the video http://t.co/UEPBHl6i9F he sees it there.

Caught the the act, for all to see:
Lil Wayne clearly looks down at the flag. Multiple times. He takes us all for fools — and we take him for the pathetic lying liar that he is:
@LilTunechi You're full of excuses. You looked at the flag several times before walking on it. We can see you do it..dipshit.

@LilTunechi sure didn't look like you were "just performing" it looked like you looked down, seen the flag you were trampling, then kept on.

@AaronWorthing, @LilTunechi < Is FOS. He clearly sees the Flag. Knows it's there and knew it would be on the ground to start with!

@LilTunechi Are you saying you didn't know that Flag was to be dropped on the ground behind you? BS! Man up!
— Jo Anne moretti (@JoAnneMoretti) June 18, 2013
Yea, you're full of fucking shit. @LilTunechi

Wouldn’t surprise us. But even that’s no excuse.

@LilTunechi I was a fan, not now. Admit it like a man not excuses. unfollow/unfan/dislike. I support America not some bullshit like that
— Charlie (@WhoDisIsMan) June 18, 2013
@LilTunechi that has to be the lamest attempt at an excuse I have heard in a long time. Shame on you.
— Ashley W. (@MrsIttyBitty89) June 18, 2013
@LilTunechi @adamsbaldwin I'd be more likely to believe you cared about the flag if the song wasn't so hateful towards the U.S.
— Kate (@kateinva) June 18, 2013
Yep. Some choice lyrics from “God Bless Amerika”:
My country ’tis of thee,
Sweet land of kill ’em all and let ’em die
God bless Amerika
This so godless Amerika
Yet for some inexplicable reason, Lil Wayne expects us to believe he harbors no animosity toward America and would never purposely stomp on our flag. Give us a break.
Lil Wayne should be ashamed — of his desecration of the flag and of his slimy attempt to defend his despicable actions.
Want to take a step toward redemption, Weezy? Here’s a good place to start:
@LilTunechi maybe you should take a history class to remind you of the importance of that flag you were stepping on.
