Lil Babygraced the cover of the August 2020@RollingStone issue, and the 25-year-old also spoke about his experiences with police brutality and racism. In addition, he shared that Black people can be racist, too.
When sharing his experiences about racism, he recalled an incident. We have a physical altercation and left me in a room for about an hour, he added. Im in there yelling and screaming. Im so accustomed to it, we dont even make it no big deal.
When asked abouta lyric that implies not all police are corrupt from his song#TheBiggerPicture, But Id be lying if I said it was all of them, he statedJust cause you work in a racist system doesnt mean you racist, he explains. D-n near every system that got a job is a racist system. You know what I mean? CEOs be like old white people, he expressed. Lil Baby continued, You never know, they got to be some kind of racist cause at some certain age, your parent, that was the way of life almost. So I almost feel like all these corporations or what not may be racist. And black people are racist too, he added.
He continued to expound on his statement about Black people and racism, To me, a racist is someone who treats a different race than theirs a different way than they would treat theirs, he explained. I feel like if youre a Black person and you treat all Black people one way and all white people one way, youre racist. Im not a racist, so I give a white person a chance to talk and actually we get into it before I can say I dont like you or not. And I feel the same way about a Black person. You aint gon be my buddy just cause youre Black. Just straight up.
