A Baltimore based group of young sisters picked up a video camera and a microphone and let rapper Lil Wayne have it with a song titled "Letter to Lil Wayne".
The girls, who go by the group name of "Watoto from the Nile," have produced numerous videos over the past year but this is their only song that is creating a huge buzz in the online community is "Open Letter".
The sisters, Nia (10), Nya (9), and Kamaria (5), made the seven-minute video over Lil Wayne's "I'm Single" beat because "he talks about drugs, is disrespectful, and calls women out of their name."
Wow , I am sooo glad that these young girls are expressing themselves and exposing these grown immature phoney fraud musicians such as Lil Wayne who don't have any positive messages in their music.
Way to go Watoto from the Nile and much respect to your father for help producing yall.
