Seems like Sir Mix-a-Lot does like "big butts and cannot lie" as he has weighed in on the drama surrounding Blake Lively and her recent controversial Instagram post.

That's the way I took it," reports E! Online.
The 'Gossip Girl' star took to social media on May 17, to post a photo of her curvaceous backside in a stunning golden Atelier Versace gown, which she captioned, "L.A. face with an Oakland booty."
