Rap superstar Lil Wayne has said he might retire after releasing Tha Carter IV.
In an interview with XXL magazine, Lil Wayne admitted that he plans to retire from the music game soon and that his long-awaited Tha Carter IV album may just be his last.
He said, “I’m bowing out still on top. I’ma make y’all want me when I retire. I’ma make y’all be like, ‘Nooo!’ I ain’t leaving out this bitch when y’all be like, ‘Yeah, it’s about time, dawg.’ Carter IV might be my last one. I’ma make y’all be like, ‘Fuck!’ Yeah, nigga, I’m gone.”
He then admitted that his music lifestyle is unfair on his children
He said, “I’m super dedicated into what I do. Like, it’s no questions—it’s hands down, I do this. I live this. I don’t have a day out my week that I do something else. I do this every day of my life, and I’m not about to stop, ’cause that’s the only way you can succeed in this business, is to do it the way I do it.
“I want to succeed the way I want to succeed. You can succeed. You can put out a hit… But to do it the way I want to do it, to be comfortable to do what the fuck I want to do, you’ve got to work like no other. Like I said, it’s unfair to my kids. So about 30, 31, 32, I gotta get ready.”
Lil Wayne has four children and turns 29 in September this year.
Tha Carter IV is scheduled for release on August 29.
