Earlier today, the rap world awoke to some potentially devastating
news, as everyone got word of Lil Wayne venting his excruciating
frustrations on Twitter and suggesting his retirement.
"I AM NOW DEFENSELESS and mentally DEFEATED," he wrote at around 4 AM
this morning, seemingly in response to his futile attempts to escape his
contract with Cash Money Records. He then wrote, "I leave gracefully
and thankful I luh my fanz but I'm done," causing alarm across social
media. Obviously, many esteemed rappers reacted to the possibility of
saying goodbye to one of the undisputed greats.
They praised all that he
has done for the hip-hop game and culture, and they offered empathy and
words of encouragement regarding his unfortunate predicament with Cash
Money.
Rick Ross responded to a fan requesting that Wayne sign to MMG by writing, "get Birdman on the phone." Chance the Rapper, who included Tunechi on the Coloring Book hit
"No Problem," tweeted a message of inspiration to Wayne, writing, "I
just wanna remind you that absolutely nothing and no one in this world
can defeat you." Other artists who shared their feelings about Wayne's
lamentable situation include Missy Elliott, Lupe Fiasco, Flying Lotus, Chevy Woods, and more.
Without
discounting the severity of Wayne's grievances, it's fortunate to see
that both Reginae Carter, his 17-year-old daughter, and Mack Maine, the
current president of Young Money,
have suggested that Weezy isn't going anywhere. Though he's been in the
industry for over two decades, Wayne is just 33 years old.
