The Atlanta rapper, activist and marijuana mogul joined us on"TMZ Live" and made the case why Black people deserve a big piece of the cannabis pie.
The way Killer Mike sees it ... ganja's popularity in America has largely been built on the backs of Black folks, so he says they deserve at least 25 percent of the industry -- profits, licenses, businesses, etc. While legalization and decriminalization continue to gain traction at the state level, one of the criticisms is the lack of access for minorities to make money off a substance that put so many behind bars. Mike uses prohibition to explain why we're making the same mistake twice here.
Affirmative Action?
You have to be able to pay for it. No freebies.....

Wtf is this nigga talking about 🤣 marijuana wasn't build on black backs stupid mf lol why everything gotta be about race? Why people feel their color of skin makes them in titled to something 🙄

When you start it from the bottom and work your way up. Shit just ain’t handed to nobody. Hard work is how you get your stake in shit. I’m Native American. Ain’t shit free. Well maybe some college for some of us. You still end up paying it back in your own way.
Doesn’t work that way Mike 🙄
How about killer Mike gives up all of his money to make it happen. If not, stfu.
Ok?
That’s rite!!! But I also need a job
