Lil Wayne Talks Alcohol-Free Probation, Early Retirement
Having been denied any drugs or alcohol, Lil Wayne explains life after prison and his hope to retire in seven years at age 35.
Part of Lil Wayne’s post-prison probation calls for a provision that prohibits him from consuming or drinking “any substances containing alcohol” for three years. It’s a change for Wayne, who has been seen for years carrying a pair of Styrofoam cups filled with what is usually a mix of codeine and promethazine. While Wayne joked with Hot 97’s Angie Martinez
that his court-enforced sobriety leaves him with little use for his sunglasses, he said it was more difficult to adjust to other things behind bars.“The hardest part about it was just coming from the life we live…coming from having a chauffer, masseuse, this that and the third. That’s why it’s different for everybody that goes,” Wayne said.
During Wayne’s nine-month stay on Rikers Island, his Young Money artists Drake and Nicki Minaj enjoyed continued success. He explained that their accomplishments were expected, and hoped for continued success as part of a larger plan for himself.”
“People think when you say work hard it’s just, ‘Okay let me put two extra hours in.’” Wayne added. “No, this is my life. That’s why retiring at 35 would be a life lived, because this music thing is my life. I want their singles to be hotter than mine. That’s why Nicki comes out after me. It’s all part of a plan.”

Snoop Dogg Honors 213 Bandmate Nate Dogg With Memorial Tattoo
After the shocking news of Nate Dogg's death two weeks ago, the Doggfather honors his bandmate and 25-plus year friend with some arm ink.
Long Beach, California emcee Snoop Dogg revealed that he has mourned the loss of longtime friend, 213 bandmate Nate Dogg with an arm tattoo, pictured to the right. Last week, Nate (born Nathaniel Hale) died after a series of strokes in the last three years.
Along with a tribute concert a week ago today in Austin, Texas' South By Southwest, Snoop Dogg has already publicly and financially supported the Nate Dogg Foundation, to aid the singer's family.
Below the tattoo portrait of Nate is text that reads, "All Doggs Go To Heaven."
Although Snoop and Nate reportedly met as classmates in 1986, it was in the early 1990s that Snoop Dogg, Warren G and Nate Dogg began a group called 213. The trio worked together through to Snoop's signing with Death Row Records, where Nate would also sign later in the decade. Throughout the years the members of 213 worked on each other's projects, and in 2004, released The Hard Way on TVT Records.
