Fans have about seven more years to hear Lil Wayne. The New Orleans bred rap superstar appeared on Hot 97 this afternoon, and during the interview with Angie Martinez, Weezy said he plans on retiring at 35.
Citing his intense work schedule, the Grammy-Award winning artist stated that although he will give it all up at such a young age, he’s dedicated all his time so far to his career. “That’s why retiring at 35, that’s a life lived, because this music thing is my life,” he said. “So retiring at 35 would be enough.”
“This is a solid plan, and I stick with my plans,” he added, saying that he wants to spend to be a father to his four kids once he leaves the rap game.
During the Q&A Wayne also said that he because he has been so busy working on his upcoming album, Tha Carter IV, (set for May 16), he surprisingly still hasn’t had a chance to hear his Young Money artists Nicki Minaj or Drake’s albums in full. “I’m always focused on something and it captures my whole attention,” he explained, “I can’t do nothing else. “
Asked if he feels any competition with his signees, he replied, “I want them to do way betrer than I do [actually]. I get paid for that,” he joked. “I just wish them the best.”
Lil Wayne will be at the Bryce Jordan Center in University Park, PA tomorrow with Nicki, Rick Ross and Travis Barker as part of his I Am Still Music Tour. —Elan Mancini
shit why wait till then do it now lame ass rapers
YEA!! My niqqa..
Word, Wayne is a shitty and overrated rapper and needs to stop NOW.
wayne>>>>rakim,krs one,……………biggie etc
wayne is the true god emcee not rakim the WASHED UP,IRREVELANT,TALENTLESS PIECE OF TRASH I.E RAKIM
WAYNE IS THE KING f@#k the haters.the game wil really miss u
and who are you
His hype won’t last that long.
I’ll admit to not getting through Drake’s and Minaj’s albums also. Shit got tiring quick. At least Wayne can recognize mediocre music.
Um…..could you fix all the errors in this post??? Who writing for yal freddyo or somethin???
wayne is dope but drake and nikki suck
Sounds like wayne going back on his words. “would i ever think of retiring…. i look at retiring like you retire out when you die out….. “
Don’t count on this! Just like most rappers, I doubt that will happen. He loves music way too much! He’ll be around as long as he can.
7 more years until he is ready to be a father to his kids, LMAO.
why not wait a little longer wayne?
I think he will still make music after 35 but it will just be organically and slow and he won’t tour or do features anymore…..
Me and the bretheren understand this decision as they have watched me go through HELL with this music shit! Say what you want.,Wayne is ill! I am 39 and still producing these young bloodz in N.C. We can’t get enough of the lyrical expertise this dude exhibits! I tell and have told’em.,you have to live and breathe this shit as I do. They wouldn’t listen therefore they are in precarious positions as we speak. That nigga Wayne took the path seldom traveled by the multitude is what I am saying! He reminds me of myself at his age! If that is so. He will retire undisputed! P.S. Wayne. Who is Richey YC. I just wanna know.
Reminds you of yourself? Man gtfo
All these muthufuckas say they gona retire but never do…Waynes been retired in my book…never lsted to that fake ass blood….him and his whole YM “cliq”…fuckem all …they all should retire or be disposed of…same with Taylor Gang, Kanye, Gucci , Wacka…all them commercial muthufckas and lets get back to real rap/hiphop…….
These “real/hiphop” rappers need to step their game up. It is not Wayne fault, they ain’t doing sh*T!!!
no its youngbucks that listen to this uneducated sesame street rap…has nuttin to do with steppin game up…commercial rap is trash and always will be!…..
kanye’s last album was about as real as it gets, deeper than anything i’ve heard in hip-hop, commercial don’t mean bad, underground hip-hop’s dead, lil wayne’s got more energy alone than the entire scene does
Actually, it’s because the underground artist don’t have fans that will buy their music, & those people do. Most rappers that are underground have enough fans to go platinum if they all bought their shit, but they don’t. Why it’s like that is beyond me, but that’s the problem in my eyes.
