Lil Wayne has given the world so many hits that he can’t even remember his own lyrics.
During an interview with Rolling Stone, the 40-year-old rapper expressed he cannot remember some of his hits from “Tha Carter III,” “Tha Carter II,” “Tha Carter One,” and “Tha Carter IV.”
“And that’s just my God’s honest truth. You could lie, you could ask me (about) such and such song, I wouldn’t even know what we talking about,” he said.
Wayne further mentioned that the albums that launched him to fame in the early 2000s have no personal significance for him anymore due to memory loss. In particular, he disclosed that he couldn’t recollect the release year of one of his major albums, “Tha Carter III,” which came out in 2008.
“I don’t even know if that’s when ‘Tha Carter III’ came out. That’s how much I don’t know,” he added. “And also, I always look at it as the curse part of the gift and the curse. I believe that (God) blessed me with this amazing mind, but would not give (me) an amazing memory to remember this amazing sh*t.”
Wayne previously opened up about suffering from epilepsy and how recurring seizures sometimes cause memory loss.
“No warning, no nothing, I don’t feel sick. I get headaches real bad. And the headaches? I didn’t get no headaches or nothing,” he said in 2013.
“I told them the other day, ‘Y’all can tell me right now that y’all was lying, like, ‘You know what? We lyin’ ain’t nothin,’ and I’d have to believe them because I don’t know,” Wayne added. “I go to sleep and wake up in the hospital. I don’t feel anything. I just hope it stops happening.”
