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.”

Then we wonder why MANY African American youth in the hip-hop generation have no morality?
Anyone who glorifies this type of behavior is just as ignorant as Lil Wayne!
i luvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv lil wayne
What alot of rappers/celebrities don’t realize or understanding is that where much is given much is required. And what is it for a Man to gain the world but lose his soul. Money can and will not buy happiness, love, or salvation. But it can bring alot of unhappiness, heart ache, & pain if not used with the right guidance.
Lil’ Wayne being born as a crack baby if that is the case; he had no say in that. However growing up in a very hostle environment with a lack of positive male role models, has affected his out look on life; and as a man thinketh, so is he.
Hopefully he will one day step into the light and see the Power in which he has been given through his talents and use it for good. Right now I think he’s blind and in so much darkness to even see the potential destruction to his very own life.
But I pray tragedy doesn’t have to strike first whether it be with him, his child, or loved one before he realizing it.
Rappers have the wrong attitude about life. Life is precious.
i feel like if he want to do that let him do him and i jus hope he stop and look at wat he doin in life cause he’sthe best rapper alive weezy f baby

I thank people should stop judging weezy about wut he do! people gone do wut they feel like doing no matter wut other people thank about them! so let weezy do weezy!

It may be sad to say but at this point beware of strategic publicity stunts and marketing tactics. The more we focus on people in the media, the longer they stay in front of the camera and in print. You either like his music and buy it or not. If you disagree with his personal lifestyle, don’t support his music sales. That’s the only real control we have in his life. Talk is cheap, but pray changes things. It did for me.
A genius of a lyricist though.
let lil wayne do him.it is his life and he’s not technically hurting anyone so let him do what makes him happy.sure it’s dangerous but it’s his decision.and as far as the surprise element goes..we’ve all known from his songs that he does drug now he’s just plainly and blunty said it.but i love him reguardless..at least he’s being real.
I can’t believe most of you are sitting talking about “he’s grown, he got money, let him do what he wants to do!” Whats gonna happen when he’s lying in a coffin somewhere? Then what? All of you will be sitting on here crying talking about “RIP Weezy.” People are not invincible and just because your doing good now does not mean it’ll be like that forever. He better stop while he’s ahead cause one day it’ll be too late. People are telling you to stop because they care about you. The Ni**as tellin you to do whatever you want couldn’t care less. GET IT TOGETHER WAYNE!!
YAL HATERZ NEED TO GIT DA FUKK OUT OF WEEZYS BIDNESS HE UP IN DA GAME AND HE GOT MONEY
People are going to do what they want to do. But if they are wise they will take the advice given, especially if you know the advice will have a positive outcome. I love Weezy, and I do feel he’s being real, but if he wants to keep doing what he does best and wants to continue being successful he should seek help.
As in many of my other comments, the people who agree with him and say it’s his business have no clue as to the state of our young people. It’s shows the hopeless state of a generation lost. Even those so called successful individuals who seemingly have it all are hurting inside and looking for something. It’s a sad day when a young man with so much potential basically says he doesn’t care about living. How many kids will we have to use before we wake up and realize that our young people are looking for a life with purpose. My soap box (only a real relationship with OUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST) can fix that. Weezy, I’m praying for you son.
Dude is what we call in cincinnati goofy cool. being addicted to anything at were it’s at. Once you addicted your not in control your addiction is. He has a valid point with the let him live his life piece, but everything else if riff.
I pray for my brother. Only Jesus can save this brother. The devil has our people so blinded that they fill they are right. This brother makes money, so why take cough syrup? I feel that he won’t be coughing but he will soon end up in a coffin.
