“I am a young, black, rich motherf—er,” Wayne said. “If that don’t let you know that American understands black [expletive] matter these days, I don’t know what it is.”
Wayne went on to say he doesn’t feel connected to the movement because it doesn’t pertain to him.
“I don’t feel connected to a damn thing that ain’t got nothing to do with me,” Wayne said. “If you do, you crazy as s—t.”
It’s not the first time Wayne has expressed dissent towards Black Lives Matter. He also recently said he believes there’s “no such thing as racism.”
