\n\tEx-NBA player Stephen Jackson<\/a> took to social media to reveal that Lil Yachty<\/a> called him to apologize after rapping a controversial George Floyd-referencing lyric during a recent PlaqueBoyMax stream. On the August 13 live stream, a song was played where Yachty rapped, \u201cPut my knee up on her neck, I went George Floyd,\u201d while he, Max, and the rest of the people in the room danced to the song.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tIn May 2020, Floyd was killed by Minnesota Police Officer Derek Chauvin, who was filmed with his knee on Floyd\u2019s neck as he called out, \u201cI can\u2019t breathe.\u201d His death, alongside Breonna Taylor\u2019s<\/a> murder at the hands of the Louisville Police Department, sparked worldwide protests<\/a>. Jackson, a Port Arthur, Texas native and a friend of Floyd, was a major public advocate after his death. \u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tOn August 14, the All The Smoke <\/em>co-host angrily took to social media in a since-deleted post,<\/a> calling Yachty a \u201csambo\u201d for the lyrics. \u201cYou think you saying George Floyd name, and trying to use his name in a bar, that\u2019s gonna make people like your wack-ass music, my nigga? That shit weak. Y\u2019all the only era that feel like demeaning the dead and saying that shit is cool, my nigga. It ain\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tJackson continued, \u201cDon\u2019t ever say his name, bro. None of ya\u2019ll knew G, nothing about him. But y\u2019all wanna say his name for clout. That\u2019s some weak-ass shit, Yachty. Let somebody die in your family, we gonna do a whole skit about it. And see how funny it is, bro. Cut that shit out.\u201d<\/p>\n
