Lil Wayne: 'I didn't mean to step on American flag'
Written by . Published: June 18 2013
Lil Wayne is adamant he did not mean to trample on the American flag during the filming of his latest music video.
The hip-hop star came under fire after footage emerged online showing him standing on the country's beloved Stars and Stripes during the God Bless Amerika shoot in New Orleans, Louisiana over the weekend (14-16Jun13).
The incident sparked outrage among American patriots, who accused
Lil Wayne of disrespecting his home nation, but the star insists
trampling on the banner was an accident.
In a post on Twitter.com, he writes, "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 (sic) it's just there as I perform."
