Not even a jail cell can hold down Lil Wayne. After releasing his rock album Rebirth, performing with Eminem and Drake at the Grammys, and singing Bob Dylans part on the We Are the World remake, Wayne is not worried about his impending prison sentence.
Im prepared for any situation, the rapper tells Rolling Stone for the magazines latest issue. Ive never been afraid of anything but God. I look at it as an experience. I say Im looking forward to it.
He will keep abreast of the outside world while hes gone through music. Ill have an iPod, and Ill make sure [my management] keeps sending me beats. He plans to keep his name out there through jailhouse Twitter accounts and endorsements.
So how will Weezy spend his last days of freedom before heading to prison on February 9 to serve a year on gun possession? This Sunday, he will be watching the New Orleans Saints take on the Indianapolis Colts at Super Bowl XLIV. But that doesnt mean hell be rooting for his home team.
Even though hes from the City, hes a true sports fan, says Young Money president Mack Maine. Hes like a scientist about that. He has ESPN tattooed on his leg. I love sports, but Im for my home team. Wayne, hes different.
According to the magazine, Tha Carter IV, Waynes highly-anticipated follow-up to 2008s best-selling album, is scheduled to arrive shortly after he gets out in 2011.
