| Posted: 03 May 2013 05:18 PM PDT  Well even Stevie Wonder probably saw this one coming. Mountain Dew DUMPS Lil' Wayne over Emmitt Till controversy!  On Future's "Karate Chop" remix, Weezy's disrespectfully compared having sex with a woman to the beating Till received in 1955. The 14-year-old was visiting family in Mississippi and was attacked for whistling at a White woman. Till's mother famously refused to have a closed-casket service, letting the world see how her son's face had been brutally dismembered by the White suspects cleared for the murder.  Lil' Wayne issued a STATEMENT about the disrespectful lyric, but not a REAL APOLOGY. He said that he had "tremendous respect for those who paved the way for the liberty and opportunities that African-Americans currently enjoy." The Till family rejected the half-hearted 'apology', and that statement was NOT ENOUGH to safe face in the eyes of PepsiCo. From the Associated Press: PepsiCo said in a statement late Friday that Wayne's "offensive reference to a revered civil rights icon does not reflect the values of our brand." It declined to provide any further comment. A publicist for Lil Wayne, Sarah Cunningham, said in a statement that the split was due to "creative differences" and that it was an amicable parting. "That's about all I can tell you at this time," the statement from Wayne's publicist said. The controversy erupted after Wayne made the reference to Till on Future's song "Karate Chop" earlier this year. He refers to beating someone during a sexual act and says he wants to do as much damage as was done to Till.  One day these public figures, although they profess to not being ROLE MODELS, will be accountable for the things they say or do while representing a BRAND. https://www.facebook.com/TheGamuttWebMag Like us on Facebook Join us on Instagram Follow us on Twitter @zamzhinga www.thegamutt.com  |

| #Oprah SCORES in-depth interview with #JasonCollins! Topic:Homosexuality & the Black Church! [video] Posted: 03 May 2013 05:18 PM PDT  You KNEW this HAD to happen. The QUEEN of Media, Oprah Winfrey scores an in-depth interview with NBA's Jason Collins. In the 90-minute special airing on Cinco de Mayo on OWN, Oprah chats with Collins about his decison to come out and the support and some BACKLASH in the wake of his announcment to the world. She also talks to his family members including his TWIN BROTHER, Jarron, about the STIGMA of homosexuality and the Black Church!  "You obviously know that within the African-American culture, which I didn't know until like a decade ago, that the stigma of being gay is even worse than it is in the general population," Oprah says. To which Jason responds, "I think that it has to deal with a lot of just how hand-in-hand the church is with the African-American community, and trust me I grew up in a very religious family," Jason responds. "I knew as an African-American, it adds another dimension to the discussion."  Oh, it gets JUICIER! Collins' FAMILY weighs in on how his coming out impacted them as well.
