Lil Wayne made headlines this week after pieces of his recent interview with Complex magazine hit the internet. Weezy took shots at the Clipse and cited prominent non-violent activist Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. as a reason to kill.
Yesterday, more snippets of the interview have surfaced as Wayne addresses love and marriage, his admiration for business, and why Kanye West outshined him on “Barry Bonds.”

While many emcees feel like there’s little or no competition in the rap game, Wayne goes one step further, revealing that he’s not competing with rappers these days, he’s got his sights set on some of the biggest and best entrepreneurs in the game of life.
“Oscar De La Hoya because he’s a beast,” he says about his competition, “because he caught Floyd Mayweather and Floyd Mayweather got like 10 million and they say he [Oscar] got like 25 million. When Michael Buffer started speaking he didn’t say broadcasting live from Showtime HBO, that nigga said, his first words were, ‘Brought to you by Golden Boy Promotions…’ That’s his fight, I don’t give a fuck, beat me, you made my fight, [claps] thank you. Can you please whoop my ass again on TV?”

Weezy goes on to shout out Tom, the face behind Myspace and Bill Gates, stating his desire to “smoke three blunts with them.”
Defying the stereotype that rapper’s don’t have hearts, Wayne also opened up about an anonymous woman who’s nearly stolen his heart.

“I got marriage in the future, though. I just don’t talk too much about it, because I ain’t sure yet, that’s the example of saying I’m engaged and nothing happened and I ain’t do that, but marriage in the future, hopefully. You know the person when you just ain’t ask it yet, [laughing] I ain’t ask her yet but…” he said, indicating a proposal might be in the future.
Perhaps more shocking than his murderous revelation or his comments about marriage may be that Wayne was more than willing to admit he was bested by rapper/producer Kanye West on “Barry Bonds,” which appears on Kanye’s latest effort, Graduation.

“’Ye killed me on that song. I was tight because I was like it could be way hotter than this. So when I heard his verse I was like ‘oh, we doing this again.’ I done it twice, they got two different versions. I done one and I ain’t hear his verse and I done the other one after I heard his verse and even when I finished I said why don’t you let him be the man of song. Meaning that it was needed and what I’ve done nobody else can do it.”
The issue of Complex hits newsstands soon.
