Dr. Dre<\/a> discussed the killing of George Floyd<\/a> during a conversation with Lil Wayne<\/a> for the rapper\u2019s Young Money Radio show on Apple Music.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThat situation, it hurt my heart. My heart is still aching,\u201d Dr. Dre said of Floyd\u2019s death.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAnd it felt like that cop had his knee on all of our necks, meaning black men. And yeah, it\u2019s extremely painful. It\u2019s extremely painful because it keeps going on. It continues to go on and it\u2019s like, what can we do, or what do we need to do to make this thing stop? What is supposed to happen to make this thing stop? It has to stop.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Lil Wayne then said the now-former Minnesota police officer who put his knee to Floyd\u2019s neck for almost nine minutes, Derek Chauvin, had been arrested; Chauvin was charged<\/a> with third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter, while no charges have been filed against the other three fired police officers.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re supposed to be arrested and convicted of first-degree murder. Point blank, period,\u201d Dre said. \u201cAnd the fucked up part is they\u2019re so brazen with it. Broad daylight, with cameras on. And he\u2019s got his knee on this guy\u2019s neck for that amount of time and he doesn\u2019t give a fuck. His hand is in his pocket. He may as well have been whistling.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Dre continued, \u201cIt\u2019s baffling, but it really feels like something is going to happen now, to at least put us in the area where we can start talking about a way to make this thing stop. I think this one could be the one\u2026 because I\u2019m seeing white people out there protesting as well, which is a good thing.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Lil Wayne added of the protesters, \u201cI think they\u2019re fed up. Any decent-hearted human being, I think they\u2019re all fed up. We\u2019re all fed up.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAny decent human being should see that and go, \u2018Fuck this. Enough is enough,’\u201d Dre said.<\/span><\/p>\n
