SPIKE LEE TALKS "CHI-RAQ" AND CALLS OUT MAYOR IN CHICAGO MAGAZINE INTERVIEW

Spike lee sits down with Chicago Magazine To Talk His Forthcoming Film Chi-Raq And Its Controversy.
You’d barely announced the film when Mayor Emanuel went ballistic over the title and summoned you to City Hall in April. How did that go?
[Chuckles and shakes his head.] OK, so that’s where your mayor and I got off on the wrong foot, right away. What I didn’t like was him trying to paint me as this villain. I’m not the bad guy, but that’s how he was trying to portray it. Do I have the guns? Am I the one pulling the trigger? To be honest, he’s a bully.
