Lil Wayne recently discussed his plans for early retirement.
He said: "Basically, I have been doing this for eighteen years. That's reason number one. I have accomplished all that I have set out to accomplish and more. Also, I have a label, and I've only put out two artists [ Drake and Nicki Minaj]. I have a lot more work to do, and it'd be selfish to not focus on being the boss and focus on their projects. The main reason is my kids. Now, if I thought I'd be selfish to my artists, imagine what I think I would be doing to my kids. I have enough money that they don't have to ever do anything -- which, they will do everything, 'cause they ain't getting shit. Six [more] years, I can do this Lil Wayne thing, and my boys will be about 7 and 8 yrs. old. And man, it's all about them then. You know, whatever they're doing. Sports. Whatever they're into. That's where I am. I'm at every game. I'm the dad with the hat on. The jersey. That's me."
