Lil Wayne is facing backlash after stepping on an American flag during a music video shoot in New Orleans.

The controversial rapper first received slack on Sunday when a one-minute clip from the music video for "God Bless Amerika" was posted on YouTube. Weezy has since responded to the criticism, claiming that he accidentally stepped on Old Glory when it dropped on the ground during the shoot.




However, Wayne can clearly be seen looking down directly at the flag on multiple occasions. The song's contentious lyrics are further evidence that he may have stepped on the stars and stripes on purpose to act the part of an angry American in the vid.

"My country 'tis of thee/ sweet land of kill 'em all and let 'em die/ God bless Amerika/ This so godless Amerika … the stars on the flag are never shining," he raps in the song.
