Even though Lil Wayne’s publicist wrote an apology letter to Emmett till family, PepsiCo decided they wanted to part ways with the rapper. PepsiCo, which distributes Mountain Dew, said in a statement that Wayne’s offensive comparison of Till to a violent sexual act on Future’s “Karate Chop” remix did “not reflect the values of our brand.” According to sources, PepsiCo execs were “on edge” and “in an uproar” over Lil Wayne’s latest seizure on Tuesday night. The unnamed execs reportedly called Wayne a “PR nightmare.” Mountain Dew was sponsoring Lil Wayne’s “America’s Most Wanted” concert tour, featuring rappers T.I. and 2 Chainz.
