Mountain Dew Drops Lil Wayne

According to ABC, Lil Wayne has been dropped from PepsiCo's Mountain Dew for his offensive lyric about Emmett Till.
On Friday, PepsiCo said in a statement that Wayne’s “offensive reference to a revered civil rights icon does not reflect the values of our brand.” It declined to provide any further comment. A publicist for Lil Wayne, Sarah Cunningham, said that the split was due to “creative differences” and that it was an amicable parting.
Rappers are getting shot down right now by their sponsors. Could this change commercial rap?
