During a recent interview with Atlanta radio station Hot 107.9’s DJ Drama, Lil Wayne admitted that he would rather skateboard than rap. The Young Money rapper remarked “I picked up the skateboard and I thought it would be a hobby, but it’s a lifestyle…You have to be fully committed. In order to be fully committed, you have to live that lifestyle. What these young kids say right now, you have to be about that life. I guess I’m about that life.”
The New Orleans native continued “It’s kinda of putting rap on the backburner, that’s all. Rap is a taking backseat to skating. That’s alright. But I kind of feel I deserve that. … I think fans deserve some peace from me.”
That doesn’t mean Weezy will quit music entirely, he recently released the “Dedication 4” mixtape and his upcoming album “I Am Not A Human Being II” will likely drop within the next few months.
Check out the interview below, Tunechi makes the comment at 7:50 mark.
