Bow Wow just pissed a LOT of people off.
On Wednesday, the Like Mike alum caused quite the tizzy on Twitter when he decided to comment on his stance on social issues and his own racial heritage.

The craziness first started when a follower asked the rapper if he would be voting for Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump in the upcoming election.
The Ohio native admitted that he doesn’t plan on hitting the polls in November, saying:
I dont really care because after i learned what i learned about politics i just stay away… Let down https://t.co/S6ORL9nmnr

After that, one fan decided to call him out for refusing to vote by bringing up his ancestors:
@smoss @bonezmayne you SHOULD care, based on the fact that your ancestors died so that you could have the right to vote!

The 29-year-old responded by saying he doesn’t care because his race is ‘mixed,’ writing:
Man i only believe what the eyes see. Im mixed. I dont know what my ancestors was doing. I only know what i see! https://t.co/OdDO2pvtBS

Ummmmmm… so is Bow Wow saying the things that happened before his lifetime don’t matter to him?!
This definitely angered his followers, who brought up the acclaimed civil rights movie Selma:
You don’t know what your ancestors were doing??? Did your eyes see a movie called Selma directed by @AVAETC ?? https://t.co/37C8k9yZTY

But the actor continued to dig himself into a bigger hole by replying:
Yeah i seen SELMA. Was i related to anyone no. Im saying my moss side of family is NOT BLACK. Heritage different. https://t.co/AIFTxVAdJs

Ch-ch-check out more of the uncomfortable exchanges between Bow Wow and his followers:
@smoss so cuz you’re only half black you’re saying you can’t relate to sacrifices black men made in the past for you to be where you are?
