It's been a rough 24 hours for Shameik Moore. The Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse star, like millions of others, has shared his opinion about the protests that have erupted following the police-involved murder of George Floyd. Shameik Moore took to Twitter to share a few thoughts about how the black community should respond to police officers and racism. His words weren't received well, and Moore has continued to become the target of critics.

"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.

“I think there’s a boiling point that has been reached and exceeded,” he told The Washington Post. “I call these people the modern-day Rosa Parks — they are protesting against injustice and a loss of liberties,” he added.

Moore is on President Trump's council aimed at reopening the country.

Moore expressed similar sentiments in a YouTube video uploaded by a libertarian think tank earlier this week: "This is a great time for civil disobedience. We need to be the Rosa Parks here and protest against these government injustices."

During an appearance on CBS News, Friday, Moore went into greater detail: "I think actually think we should have started this a week or two ago," he said. "I think we lean way too much in the direction of keeping the economy shut down to try to save every life, not realizing that we're causing huge hardship for citizens — again, people at the bottom and businesses — and we're going to suffer a big loss of living standards because of this."

Protesters against stay-at-home orders have taken to the streets to protest the government's closing of non-essential businesses.

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.

There may have been a bit of controversy on Tuesday (February 4) over Nicki Minaj‘s lyric about Rosa Parks, but according to the rapper, she had no idea people were upset. The rapper took to her Instagram to share a snippet of her song “Yikes” that included a bit about the later Civil Rights Movement icon and as far as she was concerned, her fans were excited.

“All you b*tches Rosa Parks, uh-oh, get your ass up,” Nicki rapped in her preview that circulated on Parks’s birthday. Then, TMZ shared a report where they wrote, “Sources connected to the femcee tell TMZ … Nicki’s aware of the heat she’s been catching from folks after releasing a snippet of a track she’s been working on called ‘Yikes.’

They added that Nicki didn’t mean to disrespect the Civil Rights leader in any way, especially on her birthday, but Nicki took to her Instagram Story to shut down TMZ‘s claims. According to Nicki, she wasn’t even aware there were any rumblings about the line. “Never said this. Had no clue anyone was mad. Don’t care. #Yikes,” she wrote. 

It’s been a busy day for the Queen rapper as she went back and forth on Twitter with her ex-boyfriend Meek Mill in a scathing exchange. She would later make an appearance at the Pollstar Live Conference where she joked that she was hacked. Check out her “Yikes” snippet below.

We can all come together and collectively agree that retirement plans were a farfetched idea for Nicki Minaj. Now that the rapper is officially Mrs. Kenneth Petty, it seems that Nicki has let the stress of public opinions and preparing for her nuptials dissipate and now she’s ready to get back into the studio.

Last week, the Queen rapper returned to social media after month hiatus and was featured on Meghan Trainor’s new pop single “Nice to Meet Ya.” Nicki thought it was time for her to preview music of her own, so on Monday (February 3), she shared a video of herself working on music in the studio with her husband by her side. Initially, fans were excited to hear what Nicki had in the works, but when rumblings about an alleged disrespectful Rosa Parks line circulated, people were suddenly outraged.

“All you b*tches Rosa Parks, uh-oh, get your ass up,” Nicki rapped. February 4 is Rosa Parks’s birthday, and many believed that Nicki was taking a jab at the Civil Rights leader. TMZ reports that Nicki had no intention of disrespecting Parks and the timing of the lyric was just a coincidence. The outlet’s “sources” confirmed what most people believed: Nicki just wanted to give a preview of her new music and it ended up being witty Rosa Park rhymes delivered at the wrong time. If you haven’t heard Nicki’s snippet yet, check it out below.

Choosing not to release a full-length project in 2019, Nicki Minaj announced to the world that she would be retiring from music, shocking her fanbase in a major way. Nobody saw it coming -- apparently, not even she did. Since her infamous tweet was sent out, the rapper has popped up on several feature verses, including one for Meghan Trainor last week, and she explained that she may have been a little pre-emptive with her announcement. Now, it appears as though the star is getting back into the groove, previewing new music and getting everybody excited for what's to come. Knowing Minaj, things wouldn't be complete without one line that got people talking.

In the preview to her upcoming record "Yikes," Nicki Minaj makes reference to Rosa Parks and not everybody is feeling it. "All you bitches Rosa Parks, uh-oh, get your ass up," spits Minaj on the unreleased Pooh Beatz banger. Considering Black History Month just began, some of her Barbz aren't quite in tune with the bar, calling it insensitive or reacting with memes on social media. Others find it absolutely hilarious.

Shortly after the snippet was posted, people began reacting on Twitter, causing a chaotic ruckus and even getting Rosa Parks trending on the social platform. What do you think of the line?
