Rapper L'il Wayne Meets With President Trump

Reaching out:

Before President Trump left Miami on Thursday for another long day on the campaign trail, he had a private meeting with a supporter with a big following among a group of voters his campaign has been courting all year: rapper Lil Wayne.

Later, Lil Wayne revealed the meeting to nearly 35 million fans on Twitter.

Just had a great meeting with @realdonaldtrump @potus besides what he's done so far with criminal reform, the platinum plan is going to give the community real ownership. He listened to what we had to say today and assured he will and can get it done.

This isn't completely out-of-the-blue: Back in 2016, L'il Wayne said that he didn't even know who Black Lives Matter was, and also, did not care.

I would like to associate myself with the fine remarks of the distinguished gentleman, L'il.

Corrected: I mistook the cause of today's Twitter rage about L'il Wayne. The new provocation was his meeting with Trump. The statement about BLM was made back in 2016, and was merely re-discussed today.
