Lil' Wayne Twitter Claims 'I Didn't Step On The Flag On Purpose' After He's Seen Trampling American Flag For 'God Bless Amerika' [Video]

The New Orleans bayou emcee, Lil' Wayne, has gotten in some hot water after video from his "God Bless Amerika" shoot showed the rapper apparently trampling the American flag. But the emcee claims it was not on purpose.

After video of the alleged American flag trampling made it's way around the Internet yesterday, people reacted with hostility to the 30-year-old rapper, Weezy.

But Lil' Wayne made clear in a tweet that he didn't trample the flag on purpose, writing earlier today "I didn't step on the flag on purpose! It's a scne in a video where the flag drops behind me and after it drop it's just there where I perform."

The "God Bless Amerika" track for the music video is the thirteenth song off his underwhelming "I Am Not a Human Being II" album, which was released to critical slams, but his usual commercial success.

The album debuted at #2 after selling 217,000 copies in the first week of it's release. He released three other singles before the album dropped: ""My Homies Still", "Love Me", and "No Worries." 

The lyrics from "God Bless Amerika" are almost as inflammatory as the flag trampling, but less symbolic since they're words rather than the image of him standing on the flag. 

"My country 'tis of thee / Sweet land of kill 'em all and let 'em die / God bless Amerika / This so godless Amerika."

Cell phone footage leaked from the music video shoot at his old New Orleans neighborhood in Hollygrove, New Orleans.

Once the cell phone footage went viral, Twitter users and others called Wayne out for his supposedly unpatriotic act.

This isn't the first time Wayne has run into trouble in 2013 after spending a year in Rikers Island from March 2010 to the following year.

In early March this year, Pepsi dropped Lil' Wayne as a sponser for their Mountain Dew commercials after his lyrics about civil right's activist, Emmet Till, were deemed too offensive. 

In case you're wondering, the Flag Desecration Amendment that's been opined about endlessly by politicians arguing against and for free speech when it comes to our national flag, was last shot down in the Sentate by one vote in June of 2006.

It is still not illegal to desecrate a flag since it's protected under America's constitutional right to free speech.
