Lil Wayne discussed Colin Kaepernick’s protest, racism and his own retirement rumors on Fox Sports’ Skip and Shannon: Undisputed yesterday.

When asked about his views on the state of race relations in the United States, Weezy told co-host Skip Bayliss:

“They wouldn’t want to ask me that. They wouldn’t want my answer to represent it because God knows I have been nothing but blessed. My whole path, these 33 years have been nothing but a blessing. I have never–never is a strong word–never dealt with racism. And I’m glad I didn’t have to. I don’t know if it’s because of my blessing, but it is my reality. So I would have to say that I thought it was over, I still believe it’s over, but obviously it isn’t.”

The New Orleans rap icon then added that he “sees what’s going on” after co-host Shannon Sharpe mentioned fellow Louisianan Alton Sterling’s death during a police encounter and police violence in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.

Later in the interview, Bayliss asked Weezy what he thinks of the fact that so many of his fans are white, to which the rapper replied:

“I don’t want to be bashed because I don’t want to sound like I’m on the wrong, if there is a side, but I thought that was clearly a message that there was no such thing as racism.”

Sharpe countered Weezy, explains that, as a man who grew up in rural South Georgia and who continues to experience racial attacks on social media to this day, he believes that racism is still very much a problem. However, he noted that Lil Wayne’s experiences are his own and commended the rapper for not making up a story in order to advance the conversation.

The interview also touched on music when Bayliss and Sharpe asked Lil Wayne about a recent tweet in which he suggested he was retiring. The rapper explained that the tweet was sent out after an argument over business, adding, “I did feel that way, and I didn’t take the tweet down because I said I still feel that way. And until something is done about it, maybe it will change.”
