Lil Wayne Announces His Retirement: "I Am Now Defenseless & Mentally Defeated. I Luh My Fanz But I'm Dun"

RadioOnFire.com - Lil Wayne rang off a series of tweets this morning that might be foreshadowing the day we’ve all been fearing; his retirement.


As you may know, the past year has been rough for Lil Wayne. From some of his health scares to his public feud with Birdman and the Cash Money Label. As we’ve been made privy to, Wayne has been frustrated about not being able to put out his ‘Carter V’ album as well as the money he’s owed by Birdman. At one point it looked like they were on good terms back in January but it was quickly dispelled when he yelled “Fuck Cash Money” at a number of concerts.

Wayne took to Twitter early this morning to let his fans know that the end may be near. He said he was feeling defeated with the whole situation. Even Ross chimed in and tweeted “Get Birdman on the phone”.

Wayne then later took to twitter to calm his fans saying “I’m good y’all, don’t trip”.

It looks like the contentious and protracted contract negotiations with Birdman and Cash Money Records have taken a heavy toll on Lil Wayne.

The 33-year old rap superstar announced that he was walking away from the game via his Twitter account on Saturday morning, September 3.

"I AM NOW DEFENSELESS AND mentally DEFEATED & I leave gracefully and thankful I luh my fanz but I'm dun," he wrote. "Ain't lookin for sympathy, just serenity."

On December 31, 2015, the stalemate appeared to be coming to an end when Birdman, Wayne, Drake and Mack Maine were photographed ringing in 2016 together in Miami at E11even nightclub. 

Mack captioned the photo on his Instagram page: "United we stand divided we fall."

However, that moment of solidarity was short lived. Since then, Weezy has dissed Cash Money during his concerts, took a photo in May with Birdman foes Rick Ross and Trick Daddy and was spotted wearing a cap with "F*** Cash Money" written on it in July.
