TMZ caught up with the son of late NWA founder Eazy-E on Wednesday, March 22, to get his thoughts on a bill [Senate Bill 239] recently proposed on the California Senate floor that would decriminalize the negligent (or intentional) spread of HIV by infected persons. Under existing law, one who passes the virus on to another without having disclosed their HIV status prior to intercourse would incur a felony punishable by up to 8 years in prison.
"If you ask me, I think it's population control. Um, but for you just to be out here laying around with people unprotected and not having the consequences of letting them know that you are unsafe to have sex, you know what I mean?" Lil Eazy-E told TMZ. "You could have like a vendetta female who wanna sit here and get back at a group of individuals knowing that she's infected and I'm just gonna go ahead and mess the whole football team up, you know what I mean. You know, you've gotta have some consequences to stuff like that."
The 22nd anniversary of Lil Eazy's legendary father's passing to AIDS is soon approaching. As was dramatized in the film Straight Outta Compton, and as hip hop fans from the 1990's recall, Eazy-E was diagnosed with HIV after being admitted into the hospital for what was initially thought to be an asthma attack in 1995. He died on March 26 of that year, with many attributing the cause of the sickness to have come from his penchant to bed women without protection. When confronted with a question as to how the law might impact someone like his dad, Lil Eazy responded by saying that it would be apples to oranges to compare someone living the way he did back then, to someone consciously carrying the virus and sleeping around today.
"My father's situation is just a whole lot different situation, you know what I mean? That was a different era where, you know what I mean, they probably didn't even have a full understanding of how serious this virus was," he said.
