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.”

Man i guess the white men dreams r comin true. Weezy don’t listen 2 people who r tryin 2 take u further than where u r goin by pursuading 2 keep doin things that r damaging ur soul.As known our bodies r temples of God it don’t belong 2 us it belong 2 him. And wat about money; Money ain’t everything and it aint ur life either. When ur dead in ur grave behind the addiction of cough syrup wat good iz da money. Think Now!!!! And a child iz da cough syrup addiction dat bad dat u want ur daughter 2 grow up without a father next 2 her. Weezy life iz short and wat u make and No we’re not gonna die till God iz ready for us but dont sell ur self short by an addiction. They may be behind u know but when ur gone and there iz No Weezy then who iz behind u then? Noone, then its gone man Weezy gone, What’s next for me signing off “REST IN PEACE”. Weezy wake up and smell da coffee. Jesus love u and so do i.
I am really shocked at Lil Wayne’s statement. That was truly a selfish comment he made. He might have been under the influence when he said it. Regardless, it should let you know that his fans don’t mean anything to him, but our money does because it allows him to continue to “do him”. Most young people don’t buy into that “Do as I say, not as do” speech.
I feel Sha on every thing she said I wish he would get some help but you know what they say you can’t tell people with money nothing. He really need to get some help cause all the BLACK rappers is setting a bad ex. for all the BLACK kids in the getto and we are the ones who made them rich if LIL’ WANYE made it out of the getto he should know what it is like looking up too somebody who you really like. Naw they see why BUSH don’t do nothing for us I am 15 years old and I still like Lil’Wanye he is a pretty good rapper to me but he need to give up them DRUGS weel that is all I have to say.
u just do u and he gone do him/if he want 2 kill his self than just let him do it/he’s a grown man im sure he can handle his self/if he cant oh well/he dead/for all his fans he say he luv yall but if he wants to kill his self well…..the question is DO HE??????????
Syrup enlarges your heart, literally!!! I used to sip it and every now and then I have heart pain and it’s proly gone last for da rest of my life… I grew up on it, we used to ride to high school on our bikes with drank in a cup and then go lift weights. Face it life for some people is a harsh reality, but for lil wayne its not so harsh anymore. But if he did get help with his addiction would his fans still be down for him?
Sam: learn how to write my dude. you wanted to end with ‘does he?’ You want to make money? get an education. Then, instead of ‘want fries with that?’ you can ask, ‘counsel, may you please repeat the question?’
Bill Gates said it best. Thats the thing about success. It makes you think you can’t lose. Weezy thinks he can’t lose. That’s why he’s gonna fall and big time. And nothing is worst than a rapper that’s fallen off. Its almost impossible to get back on.
i think that lil wayne is doin the best he can do even tho he is tryin hys best to do wat he got to do cant no body change his ways or his life but him
It’s so sad to see another brotha making excuses for his ignorance and carelessness. A person like Wayne who has so much potential and so much influence on young people all over the world should really reconsider his selfish choices. Of course, all people want to be free to “do them” but with fame comes some required sacrifices and one of those sacrifices is privacy. You don’t get any!!! Regardless of Wayne’s background and upbringing he is old enough to know right from wrong and he’s a father himself so he has a lot to lose should his selfishness ruin him.
Reading the article on Wayne’s addiction, I think he knows he has a problem despite his efforts to tell people to leave him alone. He seems afraid to get help and to get clean because then he’ll have to be a real man and deal with real life and its hardships. Many people would love to run from the harsh realities of this world but it’s how we run that matters. Wayne has enough money to take a vacation and take himself away from whatever it is that’s causing him to want to be out of his sane mind. He can pay a neutrual party to listen to his problems without offering judgement if he needs that (therapy/ist). Why choose the cowardly, irresponsible way? Why? Let go of the ghetto mentality and grow up Wayne. It’s time. You’ve made a name for yourself and you’ve carved out a place in this world for yourself that allows you to have more choices than most so go ahead and start to choose more wisely from now on. You’ll still be cool and you’ll get more respect. Plus, your music will probably get more intelligent and sensible and meaningful! Get help and get stronger!
why do you think they made “Umma Do Me”, it has alot to it. So let him do what he do.
WELL ALL I GOT TO SAY IS HE IS RIGHT HE DO HAVE TO STOP THAT ON HIS OWN AND THAT NOW YOU HEAR THINGS A BOUT HIM EVERYDAY AND EVERYBODY WANTS TO BE LIKE HIM WELL YOU BETTER PREPARE YOUR SELFS FOR EVERYBODY THAT WANT TO BE LIKE WAYNE SORRY!
You would think, that seeing a friend like Pimp C die from what he’s into stop him from doing it. He always talks about his daughter, he should at least stop for her.
Um sayon doe i kno thyey gone let him live his life…. N if he wanna get hifh or drink or wateva let him do him….. YA DDDIIGGG!!!
Man y’all know you can’t tell a grown @ss man what to do. Let Weezy live his life. Erybody got their vices and erybody do things we know will hurt us. Life is hard and erybody needs their escape once in a while. Stop judging!
I am sorry I almost don’t want to even comment yaw black people make me sick especially the females cause yaw sound stupid. No little Wayne I love em and all but he aint talking no sense no one is perfect but for you to have an excuse for a bad habit you are sick and so are the dingy females and the wanna be hard black dudes. we have to admit our wrongs and set an example you aint gone tell me that makes since true only God can judge you but God don’t like ugly either I have lots of flaws but I am not going to condone them wake up and smell the coffee is little Wayne paying yaw hell no. he got his yaw get a life. some of the comments make since but to the airhead kids didn’t ya moms tell yaw about sneaking on the net go do ya homework.
And think before you speak cant nobody make you do anything I don’t care how rough life gets where there is a will there is a way and I am not afraid to say I have nothing but I am not going to stoop lower cause I don’t have it I just want our black people to be stronger because all that ” I wanna be hard” & ” I wanna be a hoochie” is not cute while your doing what your doing you might enjoy it for the times being but what you gone do later or when it’s all over with? we only have one life so do what you gotta do to do it and a little help wont hurt I would want someone to tell my babies the same I have 3 at 24 and still I have a lot of since enough to know I need to stay on my job.

Y’all know Weezy’s really feelin’ himself these days and the dude thinks he’s invincible for real. You can’t tell a grown @ss man nothin’, especially a millionaire! This world is hard to deal with sometimes and we all need our escape from reality ery now and then. I tried lean when I lived in Killeen, TX but it slowed me down a lil TOO much so I’ll just stick to haze!
