With wildfires continuing to wreak havoc on Southern California, Chuck D is denouncing a gross misinterpretation of his work.

The Public Enemy member recently called out fans for using the hip hop group’s 1990 track ‘Burn Hollywood Burn’ with videos of the wildfires as he asked his followers to “PRAY 4 LA.”

“‘Burn Hollywood Burn’ is a protest song. Extracted from the Watts rebellion monikered by the magnificent Montague in 1965 against inequality when he said ‘burn baby burn’ across the air,” he wrote in a statement.

“We made mind revolution songs aimed at a one-sided exploitation by an industry,” added Chuck. “Has nothing to dow with families, losing everything they have in a natural disaster. Learn the history. Godspeed to those in loss.”

Meanwhile, stars like Paris Hilton, Milo Ventimiglia, Adam Brody, Leighton Meester and Billy Crystal have lost their homes in the ongoing wildfires.

Fires have broken out in the Pacific Palisades, Eaton Canyon, Malibu, the Hollywood Hills and other areas around Los Angeles County amid a “life-threatening and destructive” windstorm that picked up Tuesday.

As of Sunday, at least 14 people have died in the Southern California wildfires, and the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department has received 16 missing persons reports related to the fires. Meanwhile, more than 105,000 people have received mandatory evacuation orders, with another 87,000 under evacuation warnings.

Since the fires started, officers have made 29 arrests across the impacted areas, including for burglary, breaking curfew and other violations.

President Joe Biden, who extended his Los Angeles trip on Wednesday to visit first responders and those affected, declared the fires a major disaster and directed the federal government to cover 100% of costs for disaster assistance.

“Over 100,000 people have been ordered to evacuate communities impacted by the Southern California wildfires,” wrote Biden on X. “At least two people have been killed. And many more are injured — including firefighters. It’s devastating. To the residents of Southern California: We are with you.”
