- Rapper Killer Mike is receiving much backlash for an interview he did with the National Rifle Association that raised questions.
“It ran a week ago and then someone at NRA got cute and dropped it on top of you know the biggest youth led march our nation has probably ever had. I’m sorry that happened. I don’t have any control over that,” explained Killer Mike.
He’s in favor of having access to guns and especially encourages Black families to keep 5 types of guns in their house in case of tyranny.

His interview with Colion Noir was on point.
Did anyone actually see the NRA TV interview with Killer Mike? Because I know I did, and everything he was saying was actually on point. I don't understand why he's going on a apology tour when everything he was saying was true. This is why I say people got to get out of this oh I'm a liberal or oh I'm a conservative mentality. Because rationale goes out the window, this is very disappointing seeing him now Backtrack on his statements.
There's no free thinking allowed, he had to backtrack or lose $$$ and "street cred". In the NRATV video, he specifically said he doesn't want his kids walking out of school because they're a gun-owning family, then he says in this interview that it's about his son's bad grades in math. LOL.
MrMalcolm900 well my biggest thing is how our own are so quick fast and in a hurry to judge .
I was a organizer with Mike Render 15 years ago and we had conversations like this every Saturday morning. I was only 15 years old ..... he knows what he is talking about . Black ppl need to wake up and learn to organize and save your money 💰 also plz stop eating chicken 🍗 its poison
@AlexTechie, I got no respect for that!! I think a couple of big wig liberals got in his ear and told him to, "apologize the NRA is our enemy" and like a little bitch he backed down and did it. One thing I respect about Trump and conservatives in general is most of the time they are very unapologetic.
He back peddling now, that’s a shame everything he said in that NRATV was on point.
I agree with Killer Mike, learn to do for self. That includes DEFEND yourself.
okay what happens when you are legally allowed to carry a gun, and then shot dead and nothing happens. Just another dead brother eh, no biggie you got your gun so who cares if some one else is dead.
mike askme your argument doesn't make any sense. Studies show when more people have guns crimes or at least likely to happen. I grew up in a small town where mostly everybody carried a gun and sometimes it will be a few years before you hear about any crime happening in that town on the news. You will be less likely to rob a store if you know everybody in that store is packing heat. Just imagine you walk you're a Bozo the Clown looking ass inside of a convenience store and pull out your gun, and though guy behind the register pull his gun out and pointed at you the little old lady that's waiting behind you pull out her 357 and the guy that's mopping the floors he pull out something. Now you as a robber what do you think you going to do? You going to turn into Superman and Dodge the bullets or you going to surrender right then and there or try to run away..... there are even some videos on CZcams where are robber broke into a Texas home and everybody in that home shot the Excel it and ever since then no one ever broke into that neighborhood and that happened a few years back
actually you are wrong and you really dont understand the studies, and if you could prove your argument you would show these studies, and more than one with opposing views and let the data speak for themselves. but even subjective studies show that the more society is awash in guns shows more crime and more deaths by guns.
law abiding citizens are allowed to have guns so i dont understand all the pushback, the ones doing all the killings with guns are the criminals so why should non criminals suffer for that. The blacks that call the government racist but at the same time want to give up their guns so that the same government can protect them because the government will not be giving up their fire power so lets get real about that. I refuse to vote democrat because of things like i just mentioned no thought goes into anything just emotional reactions.
I agree but you don’t need the NRA to do that
Anytime people keep talking and won’t directly answer a question, tells you everything you need to know.
He sounds more radically for guns here than on the NRA interview. I like it.
AFTER HEARING THAT INTERVIEW I NOW REALIZE ROLAND ISN'T WHO HE SAYS HE IS PERIOD
Killa Mike. 💯% correct. I advised my son ... he stayed in class. 800 children at the school 60 walked out. nuff said.
Naw bruh, don’t change it up. You said what you said, now you feeling the heat.
I'm Black and I'm joining the NRA.
kamala80 they definitely don't care about yo black ass nor none of our blackasses
Huey P Newton gun club that’s for black ppl not the NRA but you have the right idea.
I'm Black and I go where I want to go.
Miss Becky Fuck Trump
I know what I can do. I'm joining the NRA because more Blacks need to be members.
I don't like Killer Mike nor socialism, but I have to agree with him on black gun ownership.
Covinaman socialism is for lazy people.
For over 10 years I've been saying black people need ti get there own stuff. I'm glad, I'm not the only one who feels this way.
Mike B if been saying it for 35 and I'm tired so tired. ....NOI been telling black people for 60 years
Stop apologizing to them Mike. There is no apology for the truth.
My family will be joining NRA 7adult children 9 total husband retired ARMY! Teach your kids the laws of God & country! Stay blessed and thanks killer Mike for saying what needs to be said
👍😄🇺🇸
I watched Killer Mike's interview on the NRATV, on here he sounds like he is back peddling in regards to the interview with Colin Noir from NRATV, cause Mike did say "if my kids walks out of class, they should walk out of my house" he didn't say anything about his son not doing good in math and needing to be their. I think it is awesome the black community is becoming more self sufficient, all people should, people's race has nothing to do with be able to provide for themselves.
He's talking about going to the polls and vote, but that's exactly what the March was telling folks and getting them to do, register to vote.
killa mike spoke like a brother who knows the history of the black man in america...
Killer Mike this the first time I’ve seen this and I’ve seen the interview Brother you was on point 💯 everything you said Awesome on point don’t back down. Keep preaching what you preaching. I live in NC a gun owner people that only know what they see in the movies should get educated about what they don’t understand before they open their mouth. Keep doing what you doing no apologies needed you on point. Every black Person should own a gun. Black people need to learn to provide protect and defend themselves .
As a black woman and knowing the history of this government there is no way in hell im voting for any politician who would try and take away my right to arm myself! I didn’t HEAR ANYTHING wrong with Mikes statements! He spoke truth!
I got much respect for Killer Mike. I agree with him a thousand percent
Is sad he was pressured to reneg.
Killer Mike says you should own a AR and AK....interview is over
They sound disappointed when killer Mike said yes to the ar 15 question.
Don’t backpedal Mike!! You were right!!
Killer Mike must have recently terminated his membership with the NRA. There's a video of him on Tavis Smiley's show where he clearly says that he's a member and his family has a tradition of being NRA members. I think that past affiliation is at least worth mentioning in addition to what motivated him to leave the NRA.
This guy does an awesome interview with the nra. He talks here about being self sufficient, then mentions a socialist gun club. Walking contradiction.
How? They just put out the entire interview?
Killer Mike is one of the most intelligent social and political voices in the country. He is an ally to the human nature, and comes from a place of love for everyone and truly believes that noone should be under the boot of others
This sums up everything Mike says:. "You must have a do for self mentality..." NO ONE is going to do for you, especially government.
He shouldn't have given the NRA an interview, they used him. He is absoultely right about us doing it for ourselves. Thats how I was raised.
African American gun ownership is not different than Caucasian, Hispanic, Asian, etc. gun ownership. I want black people to be self sufficient, along with all other people.
Relevant question, did you watch it in full?
And this title is click bait. He didn't say they misused it. They simply re-released it. You know, like an album?
I lost a little respect for K. Mike. He allowed people on the left to make him back peddle on his word. What he did in this interview is what politicians, Democrat and Republican, do when they do not want to answer a question. They will not give you a direct answer. Instead they force feed you a bunch of secondary information that has nothing to do with the primary answer. I hope that each and everyone of you do watch the full interview Mike did with Colin N. Mike has a lot of knowledge and it hurts me to see him feel presured to go back on his words and apologize for something he has no business apologizing for.
Killer Mike is a true man and speaks with knowledge and conviction!!!!
He stands his ground and if you miss understood the interview, then you can’t think for your self or ignorant!!!!
He made it real clear that it was about black gun ownership point blank!!!!
I never weigh in on CZcams but to give up your weapon that just sounds crazy. Head of the house you need something to keep you safe, goons don't come at you with bb guns that just sting. Match power with power
Mike should not have used the NRA platform to speak for black ppl....he played himself!
His interview with Colion Noir was great. Thanks for clarifying some of the details.
This notion that you have to explain to someone else why you NEED something is ridiculous. If it’s within your rights and you follow the laws? Do whatever the hell you want.
Great Job Mike!!! Well said indeed!!!
Most people misunderstand the 3/5th topic.
The NRA did not misused his interview the media just got mad and now Mike back pedaled. I'm disappointed in mike on this one.
Well spoken my brother
I saw the full interview with NRAtv then, this one with Roland. Mike did not say during the interview that his child was failing. He said (paraphrasing) that his child better not walk out of that classroom to protest because their family have always owned guns and that its important to protect oneself. Also, that, a person must attach themselves to a cause that makes sense their personal life and not because of emotion or someone else setting an agenda for you.
Im BLACK ASF !! been a NRA member for a hot min. Dont let these DEMOCRATS fools ya my brothas and sistaz
Very deceitful title to this video. When does he say they “misused” his video? He wasn’t edited or taken out of context at all.
David Hogg is definitely saying all guns should be banned
If you watch the whole interview or ANY of Colion noir you know killer mike had no reason to apologize
EVeryone on here saying, "How you gonna fight tyranny with an AR???"
It's called attrition. See Vietnam.
Notice how they’re the same people that call an AR-15 a weapon of war. Like make up ur mind
Bro how he gon walk back on his position... damn
If anyone watched the Whole video thats 42 minutes. You would not be questioning what this man had to say! He did nothing wrong!
That's not what he said about his son. He said that his kid couldn't walk out because that's not what they believe in. He is a strong advocate of gun rights. So they trying to make him backtrack.
Killer Mike speaking truth!
And the win goes to killer Mike 💪
They were very condescending to killer mike at times. I think they should’ve taken his ideas seriously. Unwarranted disrespect
I'm calling BS...Killer Mike if you're going to say something than stand by it. In the interview you gave with CN you never said anything about grades being a reason why you told your kids if they walked out the building in protest then they could walk out your house as well. You made the point that this was clearly because you are a gun family. Don't back peddle brotha!
Killer Mike, Right On...
Every black household needs 5 guns: AR15, a revolver, shot gun, semi automatic pistol, bolt action hunting rifle......woooooow!!!!!!
I'm not sure if it was the way they chopped up the interview but it didn't sound like that was the message he was putting forth when it was put out there.
5 gun types to own. And each of their named purposes.
Watch the interview. Mike's got a good point.
Arm yourself😁😁
If you haven't done so already, get trained and armed. Most local ranges offer classes if you are a beginner.
Speak to it Michael! People need to hear it. They otherwise will vote, cheer and choose to be helpless. Listen to intelligent rational thought rather than mindmelders.
So, he was asked if he said during the interview that the reason he told his son not to walk out of the school was because he was flunking math and I noticed he never answered that question. Having watched the full interview, I can say he did not. He did give a reason in the NOIR interview, though, and that reason was that his is a gun owning family. Again, I watched the whole interview and I'm not seeing what NRA TV took out of context.
Killer mike really disappointed me with he’s damn back tracking. He should have never backed down it’s a culture war and there’s no compromising with these fascists
can't be mad, at that interview
What's the % of black ppl who own guns again? Where is the level playing field
Brothers and sisters get your concealed carry permit and join black own gun groups like the huey Newton gun club !
In the words of Malcolm x we are non violent with people who are non violent with us. but we are not violent with people who are not non violent with us!
You don't have to like the NRA but respect that they're the lobbying force that's actually out to protect your 2nd amendment rights. Their reasons aren't necessarily your own but the same can be said for privileged liberals who haven't exercised their right to gun ownership but seek to take it out of the hands of Americans across the socioeconomic spectrum. You think network television would grant K.M. an interview to talk about his appreciation for the 2nd amendment and gun rights? Thank you, Colion Noir. Thank you, NRATV.
100% behind Killer Mike. My question is why the revolver as a must have gun.
Killa Mike stick to your guns, these people don't know and don't wish to educate them selves on history and the importance of rights. Especially gun rights.
Well he don't hold his tongue for nothing.
there are 323 million people in the u.s. there are 320 millions guns in the u.s. more guns are not the answer.
Killer Mike killed that interview
I like how he turned it into a black history lesson.
His interview was a good one.
Not an NRA fan but the way Killer Mike broke it down in that interview, was on point. I do not own guns but did serve 10 in the Marines, Family is from the South and owns guns. So yes I have used them and know how to use a multitude of them. I am not a supporter of some the weapons that are legal.
Dishonest title! All he said was that he didn't intend for the interview to be released on the same day as the march (which it wasn't, they were two days apart). It was also very clear that they hadn't listened to the interview before talking to him about it.
Killer mike a year ago went on Travis smiley show and said he is a member of the NRA. I wonder if he’s membership was up by the time he did this interview.
Killer Mike was not misrepresented. He was completely correct in everything he said. I wish he would have had rhe same fortitude after that interview that he had in the church when he told black people that they weren't ready for revolution. When a vlack leader tells vlack people that once they are self reliant, then that's a black leader ready to fix things. God bless Mike and his honesty. Hey Mike, push back on those that think they own you you on the left. You can be an agent of change and the black community needs someone like you.
all these silly comments...No one watched the whole interview?
Folks, you can argue all you want about whether we should ban assault weapons or not! We damn well should! Simply put, you can't use something that you do not have. Sounds simple enough to me!
He discredited himself by changing his story about why he told his kid not to march... then he says he’s not a member of the NRA... sure sounded like it in the video that’s in question.
I love everything that Mike & Colion stand for but I honestly don't understand why Mike felt a need to apologize. Everything he said in the interview was on point and it's perfectly normal for footage to take a week or more to be released. Additionally, if you search for the interview with Mike and Bernie Sanders you will see Mike clearly say that he is a proud member of the NRA (lifetime member if I'm not mistaken), sticker on his truck and all. Totally contrasting what he says here. It's extremely disappointing to see him deny things that he's already said.
Why apologize for the truth?
I don't see a thing wrong with what he said. There was an audible gasp of disbelief when the word tyranny was mentioned. Don't say Donald Trump is a tyrant or dictator in one breath and in another breath say we need to ban guns.
Killer Mike used “over speak” in this interview. He knows he made a mistake and allowed the NRA to use him as a dupe. Now he has to appeal to his fan base to make sure his money continues to roll in. He made a mistake but I do not believe he is a fool. The NRA loved it because they think rappers, black rappers in particular, are stupid. Don’t let the man play you. Think long and hard about what you say and who you say it to.
''The NRA loved it because they think rappers, black rappers in particular, are stupid.''
Well he certainly didn't do or say anything to dispel that stereotype! Big man played himself going on NRAtv to have that discussion.
He's backtracking a little. You can't say you didn't know NRA tv would use you. It was like when Steve Harvey went to see Trump after the election and was used for a photo opt. He did not say in the interview that he told his child to stay in school because they were flunking, he said he didn't want them aligning with others and his family was pro gun. I agree with us learning to be self sustaining, but going on NRA T.V is not cool. He should have asked NRA about Philandio Castille!
Killer Mike said nothing wrong and he back stepped on what he said
Sounds like Killer Mike shut that shiggeti down!
What’s the point of being a member of the NRA? Do u get a discount or something?
Sibel: Did you say that in the interview?
Killmonger Mike: Starts talking about shit that doesn't anything to do with that interview
You trusted the NRA now you know
Every Black American need to get a gun permit, all policemen need to be required to get insurance just like every other occupation. The insurance will get tire of the payout and maybe things will change. No way should blacks be afraid of guns, we should stay at the range
killer mike I am behind your choice of your membership and insuring your children aren't follow like sheep.
What's that gun list again ,😏
What I don't get is that his initial comment in the interview was actually about black people experiencing things like this more often than these sheltered white kids in their school and yet the news doesn't even turn their head for when it happens to their kids; but for much so make it weeks of coverage when sheltered white kids experience this. And so as a result he told his kids not to be part of the school walk out because it wasn't for the seemingly reoccurring issue in black communities but that isn't even part of the "support" behind the walk out. Anyway, I am sure he is required to have a soft stance on the NRA and guns due to who and what companies he associates with. But I truly believe his interview with Colion Noir was his true view and on point, and it saddens me that he believes he needs to "scale back" in any way shape or form from what he said in the interview.
While I disagree with "killer" mike's political view points, he talks as if it is him/black people against the world. It is as if he assumes all other races are against him as a black man, which is a form of prejudice racism; I understand the justification as to why he speaks and behaves that way. However, I do not believe assumed/prejudice racism will ever cure, what I believe to be, the true goal which is to end racism all together.
Regardless, I do agree with him 100% on one thing. That last statement on the 5 types of guns every American household should have.
NRA life member here.
We dont NEED any of those weapons killa...My weapon is the Word.
