Due to his poor memory, Lil Wayne's existence is hazy. This means that he can literally forget everything - not excluding his music.
The New Orleans-born rapper disclosed in a new interview with Rolling Stone on Friday that he cannot recall which of his famous albums contained which tracks. "I don't know 'Tha Carter III,' 'Tha Carter II,' or 'Tha Carter One' from 'Tha Carter IV,'" he acknowledged. And that is the honest truth from God. You could lie and ask me about a certain melody, and I wouldn't even know what we're talking about."
Wayne, 40, added that his endeavors have "absolutely no significance" to him because he cannot recall them. The "Lollipop" rapper stated that his memory loss is so severe that he cannot recall the release dates of his albums, citing "Tha Carter III" as an example.
"That's how much I don't know," Wayne said before offering a plausible explanation for why he forgets significant facts. "I work every day, bro - every single day," the "A Milli" rapper stated. In addition, he said he always views it as the blight component of the gift and the curse. Wayne stated that he was compensated for his poor memory with a "amazing mind" that allowed him to produce such successful hits in the first place.
"I believe that [God] blessed me with this amazing mind, but would not give [me] an amazing memory to remember this amazing s-t," he told Rolling Stone.
According to reports, Wayne has a history of health problems, including a protracted struggle with epilepsy.
According to Rolling StoneLil, the "Sucker for Pain" rapper was forced to cancel a Las Vegas performance in 2017 due to multiple seizures. At the time, he was reportedly discovered incapacitated in his Chicago hotel room. In 2013, Wayne was also hospitalized due to a series of seizures. According to the Los Angeles Times, at the time, many believed that the rapper's consumption of sizzurp, a recreational drug beverage typically combined with cough syrup, may have contributed to the incident. Wayne told Rolling Stone on Friday that he has no intentions to slow down despite his difficulties.
"The motivation isn't to show them that I'm still that dude, which I am," the "Masked Singer" alum explained.
"The motivation is to show them why I'm still that dude. That's the motivation, because I want [rappers of the new generation] to hopefully get something from that and they continue to still be whoever the dude or woman they are.
