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.”

first off let me start by saying that Wayne is grown man and he has his own mind, i am quite sure that he knws right from wrong! u can go str8 to the doctor office and get syrup n pills for no more than $200! any kind u want! everyonr makes mistake he gotta live wit it not u, me, r anyone else i love wayne and i will still remain his biggest fand despite his wrong doing! i love u wayne and u will always be in mii prayers!
O.LAMONT P. MC RILEY FROM PASADENA CA,AND WHAT I THINK.IS WE ALL GO THROUGH WHAT WE GO THROUGH AND WE GET OVER ALL TYPE’S OF EPISOIDE’S FAR AND NATIONWIDE.AND THIS MAN IS HERE,TOO DO WHAT HE DO.AND IS TWO LIV HE’S LIFE 2 THE FULLEST BECAUSE,WE ONLY LIV ONE TIME. P.S TOO ALL MY PEOPLE’S WHO KNOWN ME FAR & NATIONWIDE STILL HOLDING IT DOWN, SO KEEP DOING WIT DO AND KEEP IT MOVING.
This is another tragedy in the making. Weezy is a train wreck right now. Doesn’t he remind yall of a former Cash Money artist, B.G.? I think Wayne is probably the best young rapper out. But it’s looking like he might not be around to much longer(between the charges and drug abuse). He need to get it together. People aint judging him outta hate but outta love. He should wanna be alive and rapping as much as his fans want him to be. But we can’t do it for him.
I don’t feel what Wayne is saying about his addiction. I would really hate to see him go. He’s like the best rapper out there and with out him there is no such thing called rap! He has a whole lot of family, friends, and FANS out there that love him a lot and would do anything to help him out if he really wants to change his life and become better. He needs to be there for his child and love ones. No matter what Wayne choose to do I’m going to always be behind him because I’m one of his true fans!!!
One of the most irritating things in the world is to watch someone knowingly speed down the road to self destruction. However, like the man said, it’s on him. Hopefully he makes the right choice before it’s too late.
I think that lil wayne should do what he want cause don’t no body tell him what to do he gone do him reguardless what happen
i feel like everybody has there on opinon and most people judge but that not me i feel that every body got there own addiction with something and i just doing something that makes him happy keep your head up wezzy and know that i dig u a whole lot
I dont knw I mean it dnt make any since what so ever.
I look up to weezy, just like everybody else who listens to his music. NOBODY can deny he da best and he gon be da best after he stops, but we gotta remember he is a person and he has a life of his own. There are millions of people hooked on drugs but why is the media singling out weezy? I say, if you like his music, then listen to his music but let the man live his life. He has enough common sense to make an effort to stop when HE wants to.
MAN PPL LOOK UP 2 THIS GUY AND IF HE WANT TO KILL HIMSELF SO BE IT. I HAVE NO SYMPATHY 4 HIM BUT I DO HAVE SYMPATHY 4 THE PPL WHO LOOK UP TO HIM AS A ROLE MODEL BECUZ THEY FOLLOW IDIOTS LIKE HIM. I WILL STILL LISTEN TO HIS MUSIC BUT HE WILL ALWAYS BE A LOSER TO ME.
YO WAYNE YOU KNOW YOU THAT GUY AND YOU ALSO KNOW WHAT YOU GOTTA DO BOTTON LINE THEY KNOW HOW IT HOW CAN THEY EXSPECT ONE TO GO COLD TURKEY THAT’S KINDA BOLD TO THEY MIND AS WELL TELL YOU TO RUN OUT ON A HIGHWAY
You know, some of the comments on here that are undoubtedly posted by Wayne’s young fans, are very disturbing. Very disturbing. Unbelievable even.
It is a shame to see, obviously so many young people who don’t care about life and idolizes a person who obviously cares even less for his own and his child. This world is going to hell in a hand basket. *smdh*
He should be able to do what he wants as long as he is providing for his family and he keeps making money and music maybe he “feels like dying” if he wants to “jump in a sea of codeine” then let him do it
Wezzy all i have to say is take of yourself and your kids.And let GOD do the rest.
LI WAYNE I LUV U I’M 1 OF YOUR BIGGEST FAN. BUT I TOTALLY DISAGREE WITH YOU DOING SYRUP. IT HARD BUT WHAT GOOD ARE YOU DEAD. PLZ GET SOME HELP. YOU CAN OVER COME THIS. I QUIT SMOKING CIGARETTES 4 YRS AGO. MAN YOU WANT TO KNOW ABOUT HARD. I QUIT COLD TURKEY THAT WAS THE HARDEST ADDICTION. I DIDN’T WANT TO QUIT BUT I HAD TO BECAUSE I BEEN ON A OXYGEN TANK OR DEAD. MY PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU GET THE HELP MY FRIEND GOD BLESS
Sweetie….you can’t be addicted to ANYTHING and provide for your family. And as usual, the world thinks they can do whatever they want…you have to answer for everything you do. And of course, you know that your actions can hurt people other than you. Think!
I agree with Wayne about letting him live his own life, but when you know the facts about something and you continue to do the opposite, then that is where the problem lies. I know one thing if Wayne continues to let his habits be his excuse for why he lives the life that he lives or does the things that he does then, I don’t see any productivity or success from that. This is not a general statement, it was meant for Wayne and I’m only stating that because I know all about it.
That’s the most ignorant shi* that I have ever heard. He must was high on something when he made these comments, yeah you can die from getting hit by a bus especially when you high off codine walking in the middle of the street.
I THINK IT A SHAME. HE JUST SAID HE WAS TALKING TO KIDS. ABOUT WHAT? WHAT COULD HE POSSIBLY SAY THAT DOESNT MAKE HIM LOOK LIKE A HYPOCRITE? IM SORRY WAYNE NEED TO GET IT TOGETHER IT’S NOT ALL ABOUT HIM HE HAS A CHILD TOO. MAN GET A CLUE BEFORE ITS TO LATE!!!
