Recently Weeebie was quoted on Lil Wayne’s most recent mixtape Sorry for the Wait 2. Weebie’s infamous hook on “Let Me Find Out” was used by Wayne as he sang, “Girl ya know I love ya and I’m there for ya, I got some new shoes and a bag of hair for ya.”

The famed director and film maker revealed a more detailed analysis of the situation, including the he told the actress to play ball in Hollywood so she could be successful. When taken to task, Lee Daniels even called himself a “sell-out” saying that he would always continue to work and tell “his truth.” Check out the video below. So, does this make Daniels a sell-our smart?

Here are some of the quotes:

“She was making unreasonable demands, and she wasn’t thinking — this was when reverse racism was happening, I think. I told her, ‘You have to thank the producers of the film, you have to thank the studios.’ And I think she didn’t understand that, and I said, ‘People aren’t going to respond well if you don’t.”

“This is not just ‘show’. It’s ‘show business,‘ and you’ve gotta play ball, and you can’t scream — I don’t like calling the race card. I don’t believe in it. If I buy into it, it becomes real. If I knew what I knew when I was 21, I wouldn’t be where I’m at right now.

Iggy says a lot of “they” talk. That may be the issue. “They” I think she puts herself in an outsider space a lot more than she realizes. Hip-Hop is a community and a group…”we.” In this recent interview, Iggy sounds like she may be damn ready to retire from rap. She should not speak too much anymore, because it just makes things worse.

“They know, deep down. I think they know. They just don’t want to admit it. That’s what I think. I have a feeling. That’s why they’re mad. Because they do know that I actually am good, and they can’t really accept that. But we could be friends, and this could all be easy. Or we could not, and I could send Bitcoin s### chocolate boxes to your door. But I’m still going to be here.”


And for the record, there are a number of rappers that have said Iggy is dope.
