Lil Wayne is being asked to edit some of his lyrics.

Airickca Gordon-Taylor, director of the Mamie Till Mobley Memorial Foundation, has requested that Lil Wayne remove Emmett Till’s name from his verse on Future’s “Karate Chop.”

Gordon-Taylor calls Wayne’s use of Till’s name “disappointing, dishonorable, and outright disrespectful to our family.”

Guesting on “Karate Chop,” a new single by Atlanta rapper Future, Lil Wayne (aka Dwayne Michael Carter Jr.) contributes the third verse of the remix, which begins:

Gordon-Taylor added:

“My agenda is not to be disrespectful to Lil Wayne, even as much as I feel he’s been disrespectful to my family. We just want Emmett’s name removed from that song,” Gordon-Taylor told the Sun-Times Wednesday afternoon. “That entire segment is very misogynistic and promotes domestic abuse toward women by our own race.
