Lil Wayne said he stays with some trees but gave up the “screwed-up” swag:

During a well publicized interview with Katie Couric for a pre-Grammy awards special, Wayne admitted that he still smokes marijuana. Instead of harping on it’s recreational use, Wayne says that he partakes in the sticky to help fight migraine headaches “that make me wanna just kill myself.”"I will stand up for marijuana any day… I’m a rapper. That’s who I am… and I am a gangster and I do what I want. And I love to smoke. And I smoke,” Wayne said. Although he admitted to smoking weed, Wayne insists he no sips “syrup,” a mix of prescription grade codeine and promethazine….“I am not addicted to [syrup] anymore,” Wayne reportedly said. Despite being arrested on possession charges and admitting to “sipping the purple,” Lil Wayne went on national television and proclaimed his affection for marijuana. Wayne reportedly said.

  • white male

    he was probably high when he got those tats on his face

  • TONE.AYE

    lil short retard….he said some stupid sh*t in that interview.

  • SIDEWAYZ

    Now you know that gremlin still be tripple stackin those cups. But I do feel him on the weed. A BUD is a terrible thing to waste!

  • NIKKI UNDERWOOD

    Good for you…nice down-grade…on the high side…

  • Jamie Foxx’s Hair Tint

    smoking makes one a gangster? wow

  • High Life (Perfect Imperfections)

    That interview he was acting a lil strange. Or maybe it was just me.

  • He’s my ROC

    What is Sizzurp?????

  • Meeko From Detroit (Katt Williams Got Smacked Like A Broad BUT DO NOT HATE on them Gator Boots)

    OMG this nigga such a lie

  • Toxicity

    Are we supposed to be feel bad IF he dies from an overdose? Thats where he’s heading…he’s definitely a candidate for early onset Alzheimer’s.

  • High Life (Perfect Imperfections)

    Ok.

    At times he seemed very patronizing, and at others he seemed zoned out.

  • Toxicity

    No I think Katie genuinely enjoyed being there with him. I didn’t see any disgust on her face or in her tone. I didn’t feel uncomfortable at all while she was talking to him, which I thought I would have felt. It was more productive than any interview made in 106&Park’s entire history.

  • pm

    I bet those demons kick his ass at night.

    that is not what he said, he said that he sips syrup but he’s not addicted -

  • High Life (Perfect Imperfections)

    She did look somewhat uncomfortable when they were at the table…

  • Sawyer

    Hey Lil Wayne…F**K YOU and everything you “stand for” as a rapper! And what do you stand for…ignorance thats what!

  • j

    For some reason wayne is the nigga people luv to hate, when they know that ther favorite rapper couldnt put out a album like the carter 1,2, or 3.

  • Toxicity

    Despite Lil Wayne being high and addicted to cough syrup, he still sounds incredibly more intelligent than Beyonce during an interview. Does anyone else agree?

    …he did get straight A’s and went to college compared to Beyonce who stopped in 4th grade.

  • NIKKI UNDERWOOD

    I agree…

    and…

    LMAO@ 4th grade…

    Where did you get that from?

  • High Life (Perfect Imperfections)

    Beyonce can’t speak to save her life. Wayne I believe is intelligent, but I feel he tries to go out of his way to prove it. Which makes him sound dumb at times.

  • Toxicity

    @High Life (Perfect Imperfections)

    You really think so? I didn’t get that. But I guess I felt it could of been worse compared to what I thought would happen than what really did. It wasn’t so bad.

  • SIDEWAYZ

    Whaz up Nikki ?

  • Toxicity

    Yeah he says some pretty interesting things, he’s definitely not dumb he just makes some real bad choices. But he said that he only owes his two kids and thats it. And that a good point. He is trying to say that he doesn’t represent the whole community, so don’t look to him for that. He just wants to be a good father…wasn’t it weird when he started talking about his deadbeat dad…he eyes started bulging out the sockets…i think that when Katie got nervous lol…

  • Toxicity

    LoL,Thank you Nikki

  • MS T

    He’s my Rock.

    Syrup is Prescription cough syrup that has Codeine in it. Very popular in Houston.

  • High Life (Perfect Imperfections)

    @ Toxicity

    You could see that hate coming out of his eyes when he started talking about his father. LOL I was like calm down Wayne it’s going to be ok.

  • DAME UN BESO

    Why is THIS fraggle rock news?

    Who cares if he stopped doing syrup?
    Who cares if he likes to smoke weed?
    Who cares if he falls off a bridge?

    Bossip, you wasted space on this one.

  • Toxicity

    @DAME UN BESO

    LoL, you just called him a fraggle rock

    what made you say that???

  • NIKKI UNDERWOOD

    SIDEWAYZ…
    HEEEYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!

    Toxicity…LOL…

  • Miss Take

    Trees are good, but not when you stay high on it.
    Part of the whole weed experience is sobering up and reflecting on the shyt your mind was thinking while u were on it.
    Sounds like someone is unhappy and has to abuse every substance he can find.

  • DAME UN BESO

    @Toxicity:

    I have no idea where that came from. He just looks weird to me. Like some cartoon thingy. Luckily, I didnt call him Wylie Coyote….*thinking*…cuz he do look like him too. lol

    But I do like him as a person (from what I know). I dont care much about his actions because I am not the one to judge what people do…..but he just looks weird to me.

    And I laugh at girls who think he’s cute, fine, etc.

    Where?

  • j

    HATE HATE HATE

  • Miss Take

    @ dame en beso– IMO he kinda favors Miss Cellie from the Color Purple.

  • K-mia

    Im happy to hear that. He was becoming a junkie, and starting to glorify it like its cool.

  • Miss Take

    lol– or Rizzo the rat from the Muppet Show.

  • http://www.k.com noelle

    Lmao at him saying. “oh I smoke because you know..I have headaches..I just wanna kill myself sometimes….” lol. Nigga is psychoooooooooooooo

  • http://www.stewartsynopsis.com/Site%20Index.htm We “Blacks” Are The Real Hebrew Israelites

    He is so weird. Seriously.

    Man made drugs and alcohol….God made weed. Who do YOU trust?

    ;)

  • STEFANY

    What kind of fool sits up and drink cough medicine, and Wayne sound so ignorant telling Katie that he’s a gangster.

  • Melino

    That nigga is a fool… he look like a lil black gremlin.. all them tattoos on his face look a hot mess. I bet he gone regret that shit in about 12 years.. But Katie was feelin her some Weezy! She was steady cheesin when they were bowling and she called herself ‘ms. katie’… wooooow

  • Fatimah

    lol @ gremlin. Yall are so mean.

  • http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/40e97b8b8af8fef86fb13bacf1ccf628?s=80 Triple T

    At least he was keeping it real.

    He supports weed as do alot of people, at least he is getting it thru municipal (legally thru the doctor).

    He didn’t try to act different in front of her like other black people do in front of white people.

    He is well mannered in a way, he called her Ms. Katie.

  • Black.Woman

    Is this who the youngsters look up to?

  • Fatimah

    He is well mannered in a way, he called her Ms. Katie.
    _________________________
    LOL. It’s amazing how low our expectations can be. I have a friend who referred to him as “intelligent”. Yes, he does have skill/talent whatever. However, he hasn’t gotten to where he is alone. The ability to justify drug induced before and speak somewhat coherently in complete sentences does not impress me much. I do give him props on where he is in his career though and I hope he can keep it together. Lay off the drugs.

  • Fatimah

    LOL @ Queen Tina.

  • DAME UN BESO

    *Miss Take:

    LOL….now THAT was funny!

  • DAME UN BESO

    We dont NEED to respect his mind.

    For what purpose? For keeping it real?

  • Macaroni and sleaze

    Looks like QUEEN TINA’s been sipping on the syrup too.

  • And U Ain’t Shit If U Ain’t Neva Been Screwed Up…Weezy

    It’s MEDICINAL, and not MUNICIPAL…
    I’m happy he’s not ADDICTED to the syrup anymore although he didn’t say that he doesn’t drink it anymore. He was very sweet in the interview, I guess. He definitely gives a good interview.
    This guy that I knew in college overdosed on that syrup stuff, it’s not something to play with. I have to admit I’ve done it twice and was basically sleep walking. Both times I felt like if I went to sleep I was going to die… That’s some scary shit.

  • j

    like i said earlier, all these people thats hatin on wayne know good and got damn well they got the caret in they car(even if u burned it)

  • http://Bossip Karmalitajones

    Bossip needs to check the facts. He said during the interview “Ms. Caty I am not addicted anymore” he never stated he stopped using the Szurp.

  • DAME UN BESO

    @Macaroni and sleaze:

    LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • http://Bossip Karmalitajones

    I have had the opportunity to interview Lil’ Wayne in DC, he is a well mannered person and he just doesn’t take any sh– he has self-respect, he just is adament about not being a role model. that is his choice, he chose to write good music not be idolized by millions. His choices have deemed him an icon. Believe me he is centered and knows full well what he is doing to himself. Just like Ray Charles, Redd Foxx, Richard Pryor and all the other greats, we as a people placed on pedastals to worship. He advices you idolize GOD.

  • http://www.hoodiashop.com/a/4061 Christy

    I wanna hear the part when Katie said, ‘take me on a journey of your face’…

  • http://www.k.com noelle

    @ Melino, that is If he is alive past next year. That nigga look ready for the death bed. IV that nigga STAT!

  • Dark&Lovely

    No matter what all those haters say, Wayne you are the shit and forver will be.There is no rapper alive thats better than Wayne right now.Some people need to get a life, just because he’s tatted up, smoke weed, and may or may not drink syrup it does’nt make him a bad person.Yes he can most definetely be a role model because he represents young entreprenuership.Wayne makes his money honestly and he is very hard working.Im so proud becasue he is not a person who is out here hurting people to get money or embezzeling.No he’s not your average suit and tie fake mutha#&!#.Keep doing you Wayne.

  • dirtygurl

    so ignorant and irresponsible, i can’t wait until he goes back to his deep dark trench in the ocean, and takes baby with him

  • http://www.k.com noelle

    Guess he was not lying on Mr. Carter when he quoted Jay’s song. FYI – do not EVER **** with Jay-Z!! He will annihaliate you! And you might die:(.

  • Just Sayin’

    It’s MEDICINAL, and not MUNICIPAL…
    ————————————
    ROFLMBAO!!! I thought it was just me…what, he getting that government weed…that was new for me.
    Katie Couric hurt me when she hollered, “Will you take me on a journey through your face.” Priceless!!!!
    He’s intelligent, but some of us applaud ppl for being who they are (ghetto, stuck-up, whatever) and some folks hate it…he is who he is and he seems to have a pretty good grip on that.

  • Miss Take

    LOL, dirtygurl. So true.
    Ignorance and pride is deadly.

  • Macaroni and Sleaze

    No thanks, I’ll pass on his “music”.
    Not a fan of his type of ghetto rap and never will be, lol.

  • lovely one

    Considering his slurred speech, I think Lil’ Wayne was high on something other than weed…Just a thought.

  • boys just disappoint….

    it would be really nice if people could learn to just comment on the subject at hand and not parallel everything and body to beyonce….

    i like lil wayne but he seems like he has a lot of mental issues….i remember he was on 106 and they were asking him about all these women he’s been linked to from trina to karrine to nivea….and he was like he loves them all…and i believe him. he needs a hug.

  • And U Ain’t Shit If U Ain’t Neva Been Screwed Up…Weezy

    Did anyone else notice that when he was walking to his buses Nivea was there walking with him? She tried to stay away from the camera I guess but that was definitely her and she doesn’t look pregnant to me. I’m gonna assume they are back together… Good luck to them.

  • ava unknown

    i can’t say whether or not he is intelligent because from this interview i didn’t see intelligence, he didn’t say anything that struck a cord with me. i couldn’t get over his annoying voice, he sounds like he needs some lozenges or a teaspoon of honey.

  • Mrs. Rance

    He didn’t say he gave up the syrup. He said he is not addicted to it anymore, but does still drink it from time to time. That and the weed for medicinal purposes are the only parts of the interview that I thought were hogwash. Otherwise the interview was dope and it was really nice to see him sober.

  • shuddawouldacoulda

    betcha he comes out later saying hes BIPOLAR

  • SayIt

    damn bossip yall always screwin sumn up how u gone hear from his mouth & still cant get it right SMH

  • LE

    Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaatt??

    The hell is he talking about he sounds slow

    I’m a rapper. That’s who I am… and I am a gangster and I do what I want. And I love to smoke. And I smoke,

    he sounds 5, I do what I want

  • hotmama

    ive def known some square looking gangstas. careful not to sleep! anyone can put on “gangsta clothes” but what does that really mean?

  • REAL women do REAL things

    OH COME ON NOW

  • REAL women do REAL things

    OH COME ON NOW WAYNE, QUITTING IS FOR LOSERS!!! NAW J/K! BUT GOOD LOOKIN ON THAT SHIT I WOULD HATE TO WAKE UO ONE DAY AND CUT ON THE T.V TO HEAR THAT MY FAV. RAPPER DIED OF AN OVEREDOSE… IT WOULD JUST BREAK MY HEART! SO IM PROUD OF HIM FOR HAVING THE WILL TO STOP!!!! MUCH RRESPECT!

  • ME ME ME

    DAME UN BESO

    Who cares if he likes to smoke weed?

    Bossip, you wasted space on this one.

    THAT FALLING OFF A BRIGE COMMENT WAS UN-CALLED FOR BITCH!

  • ME ME ME

    OH YA LIL WAYNE IS THE SHIT!!!!

  • *Treasure*

    I have a hard time believing him, because of all of his past drug arrests. Wayne was acting kind of crazy in that interview. I didn’t like when he kept saying I’m a gangster and that is what we do, in reference to him smoking weed.

  • Honey B.

    On a lighter note… Lil Wayne looked stupid as hell in this interview. Also I’ve never heard him refer to hisself as a gangster but he choose to do so on network tv, thats very interesting.

  • Its6amHoGetOut

    Lil Wayne don’t need to sip on syrup, All he need to do is bend over so I can beat it up. I love a tight ass

    love 6am

  • Menisha

    You friggin retards…he didnt say that smoking makes him a gangsta. He sais he smokes because he IS a gangsta. Thats part of why he said it National TV. He smokes and he doesnt care who knows.

  • MICHELLE

    I believe nobody is ugly but DAMN that moffo is straight up busted.

  • Honeybunz

    Karmalita..i think that was the most honest part of the interview…when Lil Wayne said that he isnt the role model for everyone else..just for his two kids..i think thats important ppl cant leave ppl in sports and entertainment to be role models for their kids..they need to be role models themselves…also i liked the fact that he is trying to be a father to his kids..eventho he shouldnt be glorifying these substances to even them..I dunno Wayne a little too brave tho to admit u smoke ganja on tv especially when u already caught a case!

  • asdasd

    beyonce started sucking dick in 4th grade and looking for a ring

  • e!

    NO BOSSIP GET YA FACTS STRIGHT HE SAID HE WUZ NOT ADDICTED…BET YOU WILL STILL SEE WAYNE WIT HIS HANDY DANDY CUP

  • mostarstyle

    hahahahaha I can’t believe this dumb people hatin on beyonce…

    Yep. I can tell you’re a bird. You probably are one of those girls who, if he asked for some whores, to come back to the telly after a concert, you would hope right on that, huh? Cuz “lil wayne is the shit”, huh?

    LOL

  • DAME UN BESO

    CORRECTION:

    And only birds hop online for the first time on Bossip and name call.

  • Butterscotch

    Some people just need to stick with performing. Not everyone needs to do interviews. And a little mystery might actually be appealing in this day and age when folks just put ALL of their business out there.

  • eva

    lil wayne is intelligent. He’s just on real bad drugs. He was a academically gifted student and chose to go to college on his own even though he was already paid so to me you can’t knock his intelligence. Most extremely smart people come off a little weird or crazy. Are any of yall clowns old enough to remember when he came out as a child rapping when Cash money first got together and he used no curse words when he rhymed his reasoning back then was that he was intelligent enough to rap with out them and he did not want to direspect his mom when she heard his music. When he was a child he was good and as an adult he does what he wants and there is nothing wrong with that. Some of yall haters should try it you probably be alot happier

  • BKLYNZ OWN

    WAT A DUMB ASS,A 5TH GRADER COULD HAVE TOLD HIM THAT
