Lil’ Wayne Says He’s Addicted To Codeine
March 3rd, 2008Rapper’s handlers fear for his life
Lil’ Wayne says he indulges in the popular and dangerous southern practice of drinking
cough syrup to get a codeine high – and no one should expect him to quit. The recent death of Wayne’s fellow southern rhymer Pimp C was ruled an accident, due to codeine and a sleeping sickness. But Weezy says he doesn’t even want to hear the warnings. At a recent concert, Wayne vented: “Everybody wants me to stop all this and all that. It ain’t that easy. …You gotta learn how to stop, you gotta go through detox. You gotta do all kinds of stuff. Like I said, I’m a selfish-ass ni**a. I feel like everything I do is successful and productive. It’s gonna be hard to tell me I’m slipping… ‘This ni**a is making progress. He just went and talked to kids and that sh** was amazing.’ Feel me? So what am I doing wrong? Let me do me. Everybody’s got their thing. Why focus on me? Don’t compare me to no one. Don’t compare me to no one who has passed, and why they passed. I can walk out this b**ch right now and get hit by a bus. Don’t judge me. You wanna judge me? Put on a black gown and get a gavel. Get in line with the rest of them that’s about to judge me. I got court dates every other month.”

i feel wezzy on that on. ppl going to do what they want to do. its his lofe let him live it.
Well, he said it. He’s got to stop when HE wants to stop and that’s IF he wants to stop his addiction. Some people have to hit rock bottom and like he said “I feel like everything thing I do is successful”, so he feels invincible. Some people have to knock at death’s door to change and even then it’s too late…

Some people have to knock at death’s door to change and by then it could be too late…
It’s a shame that when our brothas make it, and they still remain trapped in the ghetto mentallity. Wayne could do so much more w/ the influence he has on kids. Instead he wants to defend something that is killing our people and artist in his industry. He could at least say he going to try and get himself cleaned up! For god’s sake, he has a child too! A daughter I believe. How will he feel the first time she stumbles home high off of coedeine and cough syrup or something else?! How is he going to deal w/ her bringing home someone like him? I don’t think he is thinking about anyone but himself and that is just selfish! I hope he gets some guidance quick before he is another sad headliner of another artist lost too early in the game due to ignorance and ego!
Man, dis mi baby and shyt, and HE does wut he want to ckuz he got $$$$. He got every thing he need… so, he dont have anything better to do wit his $$$$ after he take care of his daughter. (do yall feel me) and shyt, he’ll never stop no matter wut ckuz HE’S “A PILL POPPIN ANIMAL”

>> every body loves him n we’ll all b devasted if he leave us.
Da brother “Wayne” is grown just enjoy his music.
I am so sick of these lowlife rappers. Young men are looking up to these guys and like it or not they are role models and not very good ones. He’s doing just what the white man wants them to do. Killing themselves slowly. When you of them dies they just laugh and say another dead n—er. They need to straighen up, I don’t care how much money they have. That’s not cute bragging about your court dates.
Yes he has a right to live his life, but he must remember he is in the public eye’s. There are young children that look up to him, so that means he is teaching our future that it is okay to be high all the time. What is he going to do when his child turns out like him or he gets sued because a child followed in his footsteps and the family says it is his fault because the child got hurt. We all have the right to privacy except when you are in the lime-light.
With the attiude he has chosen to take, he may not have much life to live, he admits he’s an addict and then he’s in denial at the same time, which is typical of an addict, he needs help but will refuse it and use the excuse that ppl are being judgemental, it’s nothing cute about having court dates every other month. I like Weezy and he has throngs of young fans who listen to his music,…it’s just sad to hear about his addiction and his helpless almost hopeless attitude towards it.
Well its a shame that all that talent comes in a cough syrup bottle. Who knew…. I thought it was all little who….
So much for role models and the next generation. Somewhere in history someone asked that same question “Am I my brothers keeper?” To find the answer read the book BIBLE. Shame on you little Wayne for not wanting to give your little brothers hope of a drug free life….
I think that society make these stars turn to drugs because they become so rich at a young age and get caught up in all the glit and glam not realizing the outcome until they have nothing left in Lil wayne case he has 2 kids he need to think about he is not living just for his self anymore but his kids also.
weell he said it let him do him just like everybody do them when they ready
See …this is what they have done to us. Taken the WORST of us and made them the STARS. Wayne is a ”crack baby” we can’t and should not expect any better from him or the rest of those damaged kids.
Buy his records? And you get the ramling of a drug addict ….pure ignorance !! Now we know why all you guys are so WACK !!!!!!!!!!!!
Well keep posioning your body and mind …if its possible …you will get stupider than you already is. And you know what is over looked in this conversation?
With all your money …will all you so-called sucesss you still end up being nothing more than a drug addict !!
See you are what you were born to be …crack baby is now drug addict !
Sad …
Lack of education and the current drug culture is destroying our youths and it is even made worse by kids having kids and we are producing a generation of kids without proper role models and proper training. So sad, we have produced a generation that is all but lost, steering death and hell in the face while thinking they are at the gates of heaven. May God help us.
I see it like this everyone has the right to their privacy, no matter if you are a celebrity or a regular individual. We can all sit here and point fingers at him; in the end he’s gonna do what he wants to do and to each his own. He’s not bragging about his court dates if you understood what he was saying basically is I’m going to be judged regardless and since you want to judge me join the crowd. Nothing stays gold forever there is a beginning and an end to everything.
Don’t bash him because it could be your brother or uncle or son doing the same thing. All you do is pray that he bounce back before it’s too late and that goes for everyone that has some form of addiction.
I’M F. BABY WEEZY, AND BEING SOBER AINT EEZY, BELIEVE ME, COMPARING ME TO THE DEAD MAKES ME QUEEZY. THE PRESSURES AND PAIN, WOMEN SCREAMIN MY NAME, I WISH COEDINE WUD FALL LIKE RAIN. LEAVE ME DA FUK ALONE, IF I DIE, I DIE, MORE COURT DATES THAN OJ, IF I FRY, IF FRY!!!!!
