Lil Wayne has 177 days until he is released from prison, but he continues to stay in touch with his fans and his family. By writing letters that are published on his website, Weezythanxyou.com, he stays connected to the outside world. For Mother’s Day, Weezy penned a letter thanking the mother’s of his children, his mom, and mothers in general.
The letter was heartfelt, touching, and well written, a bit surprising considering Weezy’s lifestyle and choice of topics in his music. But moms bring out emotion and rapper’s have moms too! The letter also had a great message — mothers are the real role models, not rap stars like him. Lil Wayne has four baby mothers. Read his letter below:
“It’s not many words in the world more powerful than “mother.” Those six letters can bring joy, just like they bring pain. It can invoke excitement just as quickly as it can anger, depending on the context, I guess. For myself, it means more than I can ever possibly describe, but I will try. I associate the term with immeasurable strength, beautiful patience and infinite wisdom.”
“You can probably already tell, but the main reason for this letter is to pay tribute to every positive matriarch on Mother’s Day. In my eyes, that day is 365 days a year, but I understand the significance of the holiday. The love between a mother and her offspring is hands down the most beautiful thing God created. More than money, more than fame, more than cars. You know why? Because true love is the only thing that lasts from the moment you’re born to the second you perish. To all the mothers who read this letter, I hope this day allows you to feel the love and respect you so rightfully deserve. You are the role models, not me.”
“To the mothers of my beautiful children, there remains nothing but love, adoration and respect coming from my heart. Even with the mistakes I’ve made in my life, you give me reason to smile in a place where they attempt to break your spirit each day the sun rises. I love my babies with all my heart. And the fact you brought them into this world only gives me more and more motivation to write these words. Happy Mother’s Day.”
