Mets outfielder in trouble over rap song?

Wednesday, May 16, 2007

The Mets issued a statement last night condemning a song from a record company that, according to the company's Web site, is co-founded by Lastings Milledge and features him on the track, reports the NY POST.

The song, "Bend Ya Knees" by Manny D featuring L Millz, has lyrics ripe with vulgarity, demeaning references to women, explicit sexual content and multiple uses of the n-word.

The Mets statement said, "We disapprove of the content, language and message of this recording, which does not represent the views of the New York Mets." GM Omar Minaya later added that he was "looking into it."

On the Web site, there is a description of Manny D, and Milledge's name is mentioned as "an old friend from junior high school." It says Milledge is the co-founder of Soulja-Boi Records and the manager of Manny D. There are also photos of Milledge, who is on the disabled list with a sprained ligament in his right foot.
