The New Orleans-based rapper said in the statement his environment helped shape the way he views America and his song and video represent the people he grew up with, noting, "I was fortunate from my God giving talents to escape the Hood and see the other beautiful places this country has to offer but most people who are born in that environment don't get that chance. That's their view of their America. That was Dwayne M Carter from Hollygrove New Orleans view of America. That's who I'm speaking for in this song."

Origins: Video footage reported by TMZ and posted on YouTube in June 2013 showed rap star Lil Wayne (the stage name of Dwayne Michael Carter) stepping, dancing, and/or trampling on an American flag during the shooting of a music video for his song "God Bless Amerika" in New Orleans:

It was never my intention to desecrate the flag of the United States of America. I was shooting a video for a song off my album entitled "God Bless Amerika". The clip that surfaced on the Internet was a camera trick clip that revealed that behind the American Flag was the Hoods of America. In the final edit of the video you will see the flag fall to reveal what is behind it but will never see it on the ground. In most people eyes including my own who were raised in that environment, the Hood is the only America they know and the only America I knew growing up. I was fortunate from my God giving talents to escape the Hood and see the other beautiful places this country has to offer but most people who are born in that environment don't get that chance. That's their view of their America. That was Dwayne M Carter from Hollygrove New Orleans view of America. That's who I'm speaking for in this song.



In most people's eyes, including my own, who were raised in that environment, the hood is the only America they know, and the only America I knew growing up. I was fortunate from my God giving talents to escape the hood and see the other beautiful places this country has to offer, but most people who are born in that environment don't get that chance. That's their view of their America. That was the Dwayne M Carter from Hollygrove, New Orleans view of America. That's who I'm speaking for in this song.

After the minute-long clip surfaced, some fans were quick to express outrage: "that is extremely disrespectful! 1st dropping tha american flag on tha ground and then wayne walking all over it!!! I have now lost all respect for you wayne!" one wrote.

The song's lyrics fanned the controversy. They include the line, "My country 'tis of thee / Sweet land of kill 'em all and let 'em die," and the hook, "God bless Amerika / This so godless Amerika" Wayne explained on Facebook that the song reflects the environment that he and many others have grown up in.

"In most people eyes including my own who were raised in that environment, the Hood is the only America they know and the only America I knew growing up. I was fortunate from my God giving talents to escape the Hood and see the other beautiful places this country has to offer but most people who are born in that environment don't get that chance. That's their view of their America. That was Dwayne M Carter from Hollygrove New Orleans view of America. That's who I'm speaking for in this song."

As far as the general criticism of the American poli-judicial system within the video, Lil Wayne explains in a statement to Billboard: "I was fortunate from my God given talents to escape the hood and see the other beautiful places this country has to offer, but most people who are born in that environment don't get that chance. That's their view of their America. That was Dwayne M Carter from Hollygrove New Orleans view of America. That's who I'm speaking for in this song." 006ab0faaa
