Rikers Island inmate number 02616544L, more commonly known as platinum-selling and Grammy award winning rapper Lil Wayne, missed the release of his most recent album, I Am Not A Human Being. The release date coincided with him turning 28-years-old, but there was no talk of potential album sales in his seventh prison letter to his fans.
“Anyway, I’m still playing UNO,” Wayne wrote. “Still doing pushups and such, by the way, please don’t expect me to come out looking any different. I’m the same little ‘ol me. Also, I’ve been trying to get as much rest as I can because I know I won’t when I’m out of here.”
Aside from shouting out his children and noting a few of his favorite radio songs, Weezy slipped in a marriage proposal on behalf of a fan named Chris Kyle. The full contents of Lil Wayne’s letter are available at WeezyThankxYou.com
