When the Back Lives Matters movement was gearing up, Kevin Gates dismissed it.

The always outspoken rapper took some hate for that.

It's been some years, but Gates isn't backing off his statements.

During his recent interview with DJ Akademiks, he reiterated his POV on BLM. [Jump to 2:30]

“They got mad when I said ‘I don’t support Black Lives Matter’ ’cause who they matter to,” Gates told Ak. “We kill each other all day. We talk about each other all day. You know who talk about me the most on the internet? N*ggas. N*ggas. You know what’s worse than a n*gga? Two of them. Make you don’t want to be a n*gga. It be n*ggas my own people that look like me. Talk about me like a dog, kick me when I’m down. I don’t look at color and see race no more. I see real and fake. That’s it.”

What do you think about that?
