Hip-Hop's newest inmate, Lil' Wayne is featured on the cover of Ozone Magazine, where he gives one of his last interviews before being sent off to Rikers Island. Inside the issue he covers being a father, rumors, and his respect for women.Being a Good Father & Child Support:
I’m not on child support with none of my kids cause I’m a great father. So it’s not determined by how much money you’re paying at all. That’s not what it’s about. It’s about being there and being that important person in their lives. It’s about being #1 or #2 in their life. That’s very important for your child, to make sure you’re that #1 or #2. Because if you’re not, you know what #1 or #2 could end up being. That’s the most important thing of all. I just try to make sure I’m of the highest importance in their lives, next to their moms.
If He Respects Women Even Though He Calls Them "Bitches and Hoes" :
There’s two answers to that. One is – there are b*tches. There are hoes. There are ladies. There are women. There are girls. Pick which side you’re on. When somebody’s saying something about “b*tches,” if they didn’t say “Julia is a b*tch,” if it doesn’t apply to you then it doesn’t apply to you. The second answer is, you’d have to be a woman who’s met me to know if I believe you’re a b*tch or a hoe or whatever.
Adresses His Relationship with His Artist Shanell:
That’s a rumor, sweetheart. No, it’s never been a personal thing. As far as us being friends, yeah. That’s my friend. Shanell is a great artist and that’s it, period. She’s a Young Money great artist. I heard a rumor that she was pregnant from me. How could that be? We’ve never had sex. How could she be pregnant from me? You’ve got to have sex to be pregnant. That’s one of the things you have to do. I don’t understand how people’s brains work. You know? I’m a really big person. I’m a real superstar. I’m not afraid to tell you or nobody else, you know? I die every week [according to the rumors]. I’m in jail right now [according to the rumors].
I love reading his interviews, he's such a intelligent, insightful man that people underestimate just because he's that rapper with all the tattoos, but he's much more than that. Read some more excerpts of this interview over at Necole Bitchie.
In other Lil' Wayne news, his video to "Single," off his No Ceilings mixtape was released last week. Yeah, I get a late pass. But anyways, this is one of my favorite jawns off No Ceilings. Put Ya Hands Up, If You Single For the Night, *raises hand* Haha :) He also has a new website, "Weezy Thanx You," where he thanks and responds to all his fans for the love they've been sending him since he went in. We Miss You,Weezy ! :(
Dedicated to Imari Carter, ily whore :p
