[@Mobcityrecords100]

Wayne will forever be the goat 🐐

[@Shaun_Natty_869]

Lil Wayne needs another 8 months in jail so he could stay from the drugs and get healthy again cause he don’t look healthy today. I just want to see him around for a long time man

[@devontedent9093]

Facts

[@carolinelaronda4523]

He might just get it , and it may be divine intervention. He’s a genius and a workaholic. He makes no secret of his drug use and perhaps jail time is exactly what he needs to force him to slow down and get healthy .

[@HaikesXO]

man this is fucking 10 years ago? he's almost 40 years old.

[@grindewest5940]

Me 2 agreed

[@rosaaponte4267]

Who the hell wishes jail time on people, you are a peasant for LIFE... bye. Deuces.
