T.I Calls Floyd Mayweather ‘Socially Irresponsible and Insensitive’ for Promoting #AllLivesMatter
Boxing champ Floyd Mayweather has once again gotten into the bad books of T.I and this time, the rapper is not letting him off easily.
A few days ago, Mayweather stirred an outrage among Black people on social media after a video of him supporting and promoting #AllLivesMatter was shared online. In the video, the 39-year-old boxer stated that he believes a lot of people are just generally followers of anything. “A lot of times, we get stuck, and we are followers,” he said. “When you hear one person say, ‘black lives matter,’ or ‘blue lives matter’- all lives matter.”
Well, Floyd’s statement ruffled a few feathers including those of rapper T.I, who is a vocal supporter of the ‘Black Lives Matter’ movement. The father of six took to his Instagram page yesterday to heavily slam the boxing champ for his misguided takes on the movement and boy! was it epic.
T.I started off by calling his Floyd’s remarks “socially irresponsible, inconsiderate, and insensitive” before asking him to acknowledge his role as a leader and take responsibility.
“Don’t get so lost in personal possession or individual achievement that you lose sight of the things that are larger than all of us,” he wrote. “Freedom, equality, justice, human rights,qualities of life that have been withheld (or given out sparingly) from our people for generations (400 yrs approximately).”

T.I and Mayweather have not been on the friendliest terms since their nasty brawl in 2014 over a photo of T.I’s wife that was shared on Instagram.
Black Lives Matter was created in 2013 to protest police killings of black people and broader issues of racial profiling after the acquittal of George Zimmerman in the shooting to death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.
Floyd is yet to respond to T.I’s comment.
