"See I have a very strong opinion that the black community hates to hear.. but needs to hear... we need to learn how to deal with police...and or racism...because THIS is the part of the scenario we have failed to fix," Shameik Moore tweeted. "We have to work on our community before blaming everything on 'racist' and police. 1... there is STILL black on black violence that needs to be addressed...and 2.. if we KNOW that the wrong white person could change our whole life with a false accusation... WHY DO WE GIVE THEM THE ENERGY THEY WANT? Give them an inch they WILL take a mile..... We literally know this already. At what point do we look at ourselves and make adjustments?"

Later, Moore apologized for the abrasiveness of his remarks, and he hopped don Instagram Live to discuss further. There, he spoke about Rosa Parks sitting at the front of the bus instead of the back, adding there were plenty of black owned bus and cab companies that could have been utilized. Check it all out below along with a few reactions.

Just because she claimed that TMZ‘s initial report about her Rosa Parks lyric wasn’t true doesn’t mean the outlet was finished talking about it. Following the social media backlash over Nicki’s “All you b*tches Rosa Parks, uh-oh, get your ass up” lyric from the snippet of her unreleased track “Yikes,” TMZ wrote that Nicki was aware of how upset people were. They reported that they spoke with sources close to Nicki who stated the rapper never intended for the lyric to be disrespectful, especially on Parks’ birthday (February 4).

Later, Nicki took to her Instagram Story to blast the outlet. “Never said this. Had no clue anyone was mad. Don’t care. #Yikes,” she wrote. In their own way, it seems that TMZ is making sure they get the last word in because they’ve made yet another report about this topic, except this time they’ve actually spoken to Rosa Park’s family member to get their opinion on the matter.

TMZ received a quote from the Civil Rights leader’s nephew William McCauley that stated: “It was both heart breaking and disrespectful that Nicki Minaj would have a lyric in a song that can be used negatively when mentioning someone who provided her the freedoms that she has today.” They also claim to have spoken to Anita Peek, the executive director at the Rosa and Raymond Parks Institute for Self Development.

The publication reported that Peek, who worked closely with Rosa, said the late Civil Rights icon would “be extremely hurt by Minaj taking her bus protest — one of the most significant moments of the Civil Rights Movement — and putting a negative spin on it for a song, even if she was just trying to be clever or funny.”

Peek reportedly also urged Nicki to study the historical account of Rosa Parks and her refusal to give up her seat on the Montgomery, Alabama bus that led to the 381-day boycott.
