Lil Wayne Says He's "Ready To Retire Now"

[Elano The One And Only]

Lil Wayne was the guest of honor in the second season debut of Katie Couric's show, "Katie."

During the show, Weezy and Kouric discussed topics such as Lil Wayne's time in jail, as well as his upbringing.

Another subject the pair broached was Wayne's oft-dicussed retirement plans.

During the interview, Wayne confirmed that he plans to retire from music by the age of 35, and that his motivation to do so would be to spend more time with his children.

"Whatever they want to do. I don't want to have no influence ... 'Hey you must do this, you must do that,'" he explained. "Because I didn't have that and because I didn't have that I grew up to be exactly what I wanted to be and how I wanted to be. I want that for all of my kids."

"I know I'll be ready to retire at thirty-five because I am so ready to retire now!" said Wayne, who has one daughter and three sons.

Lil Wayne has said or hinted he will retire after releasing Tha Carter IV, then said he would once Tha Carter V was released.

[Hack Wilson - real]

that's true Spoonie.  notice how all the old rappers who disappear don't retire, they just become irrelevant.

[MistaNova]

Didn't he already say he was going to retire like 7 or 8 times already? The day he actually retires is probably the day he becomes a competent guitarist.

[Okka]

I think we're ready to see him retire and disappear from the public.

[V2DHeart]

He's about 17 years too late. The damage has been done
