Lil Wayne has written a letter of apology to the family of Emmett Till, the teenager whose infamous and gruesome murder in 1950s Mississippi the rapper controversially referenced in his lyrics on Future’s track “Karate Chop.”

14-year-old Till, an African-American, was tortured and killed after allegedly flirting with a white woman in 1955, with his case becoming a rallying point in the civil rights movement.

On “Karate Chop” from earlier this year, Wayne raps, “Pop a lot of pain pills / Bout to put rims on my skateboard wheels / Beat that p**sy up like Emmett Till.”

Lil Wayne is opening up about his recent health scare in detail for the first time, revealing not only that he’s epileptic, but “could’ve died.”

Speaking on Power 106 FM in Los Angeles on Thursday night, the rapper said the “bad news” is that he suffers from epilepsy and is “prone to seizures,” like the ones that landed him in the hospital earlier this month.

“This isn’t my first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh seizure. I’ve had a bunch of seizures, ya’ll just never hear about them,” confessed Wayne.
