Sammy Watkins can blame Tyrann Mathieu for this one, but with all the senseless violence going on across America, dialogue is needed on the topic.
Mathieu took to Twitter on Sunday after the shooting death of Will Smith in New Orleans, to touch on gun violence, and that he knew Cardell Hayes, the man charged in Smith’s death.

After calling Hayes a coward, Mathieu went on to tweet about dealing with adversity and changes that need to be made in the community.
Until y'all get them crooks out of office and until y'all give these kids something constructive to do, the violence will continue to grow!!

Not too mention half of their fathers are in prison… So this isn't coming from an angry place but from a person who has made it out!

Sammy Wasn’t done there, and made some valid points to back up his talk.
The truth is nobody care for the truth and if you had common sense you would know the true knowledge of yourself 😁😎

Watkins isn’t the first to speak about rappers doing the “devils” or “elitist” work, I just hope he has a plan to help make a change on his end.
We can argue all day about rappers, the elite and the Illuminati, but Cardale Hayes didn’t shoot Will Smith because of some music he streamed in his car.
