Lil Wayne is back on the cover of Rolling Stone, for his second feature
within the span of a year. In the new issue, the Young Money rapper
opens up about his recent, eight month stint in New York's Rikers
Island jail.
Wayne admitted that he was forced to spend his last month in solitary
confinement after being busted with an iPod charger, but also sent
thanks to a fellow inmate who took the heat for a second violation that
would have cost him more trouble. "Shout-out to Charles [Manson]...
Solitary was the worst," Wayne told Rolling Stone writer Josh Eells.
"No radio. No commissary. Basically you're in there 23 hours a day."
The eccentric rapper shared his strategies for passing the time behind
bars, one of which included a reading list of musical biographies from
Jim Morrison, Marvin Gaye, Jimi Hendrix, Anthony Kiedis, as well as
some heavier reading. "[Kiedis'] Scar Tissue was really good," Wayne
explained. "I also read the Bible for the first time. It was deep! I
liked the parts where some character was once this, but he ended up
being that. Like he'd be dissing Jesus, and then he ends up being a
saint. That was cool."
Since his release from jail, the sports fanatic has been spotted
courtside at several Miami Heat basketball games, but Weezy revealed
that he hasn't gotten any preferential treatment from Lebron James or
Dwyane Wade. "Them n----s never speak to a n----," an annoyed Wayne
said. "They don't chuck me the deuce or nothing. N---- spent all that
money on them f---ing tickets ... Come holla at me. We sit right by
them little b---- a-- n----s. At least come ask me why I'm not rooting
for you."
