In the past, Lil’ Wayne has always been transparent and open about his mental health issues and even his childhood suicide attempt.
In a recent interview on Emmanuel Acho’s Uncomfortable Conversations series, Weezy detailed his suicide attempt at 12-years-old, telling Acho that it took place on a half-day from school when he almost got in trouble with his mother.
“I picked up the phone, I called the police,” Wayne said. “Yes, I knew where she put her gun and it was in her bedroom. And so I went in her bedroom, grabbed the gun. I already made the phone call, looked in the mirror.” Wayne then says he then pointed the gun to his head but “got a little too scared.”
He explained, “Then I said ‘Fuck it,’” pointing a finger gun at his chest. “Biggie was on. I’m looking in the mirror, so you could look through the mirror and the television was behind me. So I was watching the video through the mirror. ‘One More Chance’ was on. And Biggie was already gone or something. So I was looking, I was like, ‘You know what?’ Start thinking I had to get myself mad and noticed that I didn’t have to. That’s what scared me. How I knew I had a mental health problem was when I pulled the trigger.”
Wayne said he aimed for his heart but “didn’t feel a thing,” just shock. He was staring at his white walls when the police arrived.
As officers arrived on the scene, the rapper slid across the floor to knock on his door. Wayne claims officers stepped over him while searching for drugs and weapons, but one officer he called “Uncle Bob” refused to do so, picked him up and took him to the hospital.
Wayne admitted to Acho that God saved him that day.
He revealed that he had grown out of his mental health issues and is now happier than he had ever been.
