Lil Wayne Opens Up About Deadbeat Dad & Being A Loving Father In GQ
 Lil Wayne has a candid conversation with GQ magazine about his motivation to retire from the rap game, his deadbeat father and his undying love for weed and everything syrup.
I hear you plan to retire when you turn 35?
Basically, I have been doing this for eighteen years. That’s reason number one. I have accomplished all that I have set out to accomplish and more. But the main reason is my kids, my children. Now, if I thought I’d be selfish to my artists, imagine what I think I would be doing to my kids. I have enough money that they don’t have to ever do anything—which, they will do everything, ’cause they ain’t getting shit. [cackles wildly] Six more years, I can do this Lil Wayne thing, and my boys will be about 7 and 8 years old. And man, it’s all about them then. You know, whatever they’re doing. Sports. Whatever they’re into. That’s where I am. I’m at every game. I’m the dad with the hat on. The jersey. That’s me.
He don’t give a shit about me. And I don’t give a shit about him. I know
his friends be like, “Damn, nigga. That is not your son. Stop lying.
Nigga, you could be living in a motherfucking ranch right now, nigga.”
You know, whatever your father’s into, if you’re rich, you’re gonna get
him that shit. I would’ve got that nigga all kinda harnesses,
ranches—you know what I mean?
I saw the nigga recently—I had a show in New Orleans. And I ain’t afraid
to put this out there, ’cause this is just how much I don’t give a fuck
about a nigga, and I want people to see how you’re not supposed to be. I
was parked at the hotel, and I saw him walking outside the hotel. Just
walking back and forth. I’m like, “Look at this nigga! You gotta be
looking for me.” If Lil Wayne got a show in New Orleans, the whole of
New Orleans knows. Basically, you’re not there for nothing else but me.
So I call my man on the bus. I’m like, “Nigga, that’s my daddy.” He’s
like, “Word? Oh shit. That nigga looks just like you!” So I tell my man,
“Go see what’s up.” So my man goes to holla at him. He tells my man,
“Oh. I didn’t know y’all was here. I’m here waiting for this little ho
to get off. Get off work from the hotel.” For real? That’s when I was
like, “Typical Dwayne Carter.” So that’s what’s up with me and my real
father. I don’t want to look like his ass, but I do.
You’re sober now? No more syrup?
I’m good. I ain’t tripping. I’m used to it now. But I was never on
heroin or cocaine or Ecstasy or nothing like that. I drank syrup and
smoked a lotta weed. I wish I could be back on it. That’s how it fucking
feels. [cracking himself up] “How does it feel to be sober?” I’ll be
like, “It feels fucked-up.” What you want me to say? “It feels great”?
No. I was on something that the doctor prescribed. I was ill, and that
was helping me.
What do you think of Lil Wayne's interview?

I respect Wayne yes I do but check this
Even the bible in Ephesians 6:2 says "honor thy father and mother". I don't know what Lil Waynes mother told him about his dad coming up but at some point I believe God will force Wayne to soften his heart towards his dad. It shouldn't take tragedy for people to wake up and realize Life is just a mist. I also believe deep down Wayne is willing to be the bigger person but his pride won't let him show it. I believe his dad loves him but can't express it the way he'd like to. Maybe he feels if he tried Wayne wouldn't except it or he just don't know how.
