In his new video for “How to Love” Lil Wayne pushes the envelope by providing mature context and images about molestation, multiple pregnancies, abortion, single-parenting, domestic abuse, black male incarceration, prostitution and HIV/AIDs in our communities.

With a cameo from Tristan Wilds (The Wire, Secret Life of Bees), Wayne’s video takes us into the life of “beautiful” girl who has never known love. She endures abuse and rape; signs up for an abortion but then skips out; she chooses the wrong men, becomes a stripper and then has sex for money. Some have called the visual offensive, while others feel it’s a perfect way to solicit dialogue on these important issues.
