It's probably not a surprise,Scarlett Fay Archives but you shouldn't trust the NRA.
Killer Mike, one half of popular rap group Run the Jewels, had to issue an apology Sunday for an interview he taped with the National Rifle Association last week.
The interview appeared on NRATV's NOIRon March 22. It included Killer Mike giving a full-throated support of black gun ownership. It also went into an exploration of "woke" culture.

The way that NRATV packaged the interview with Killer Mike, who supported Bernie Sanders, made it appear that the rapper was critical of the forth-coming March for Our Lives.
"So I have to ask, what are you all marching for?" asked host Colion Noir in the introduction to the interview. "Because from where I'm standing, it looks like a march to burn the constitution and to rewrite the parts that you don't like in crayon."
Backlash against Killer Mike quickly followed, accusing the activist of being used by the NRA.

But by Sunday night, he was back with a more nuanced and detailed apology. He shared two videos to Twitter, saying that he had tried to sit "with people I might not always agree with," and that the video was then used to "disparage a very noble campaign that I actually support."

While he continueds to support the idea of black gun ownership, he apologized repeatedly if the interview made it seem like the he was not an ally or an advocate for the march or the movement that has grown up around it.
"My interview with an organization that we all don't agree with, was supposed to be something that continued the conversation...," Killer Mike said in the videos. "It should never have been used in contrast to your march, and I think it's wrong. To the young people who worked tirelessly to organize, I'm sorry adults chose to do this."
Mentioning his past as a youth and community organizer, he encouraged young people to keep marching and organizing for change.
