In a new interview with Emmanuel Acho for his mental health-focused Uncomfortable Conversations series, Lil Wayne talked candidly about his mental health and his past suicide attempt.

The rap star previously shared this on both his track “Let It All Work Out” and Solange’s “Mad.” In the sit-down, he opened up more about it, revealing he was 12 and that it took place on a half-day from school after he almost got in trouble with his mother.

Wayne explained,

“I picked up the phone, I called the police. Yes, I knew where she put her gun and it was in her bedroom. And so I went into her bedroom, grabbed the gun. I already made the phone call… looked in the mirror.” Wayne went on to share that that he pointed the gun to his head before he “got a little too scared.” Then he aimed it at his chest. “Then I said ‘F*CK it.’ “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.

He continued,

“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.”

Sharing what was going through his mind at the time, the Grammy winner said that he aimed for his heart but “didn’t feel a thing.” After going into shock, he woke up to the police knocking as he was staring around. After police managed to get inside his apartment, officers stepped over him looking for drugs and weapons. However, one officer named “Uncle Bob” refused to step over him, and picked him up, then transported him to a local hospital. Wayne told hosts Acho that he believes God kept him alive that day.

During the interview, Wayne also digs deep about his mental health issues and shares how it has changed over the years.

Lil Wayne Drops New Song ‘Ain’t Got Time’ Following Trump Pardon

Lil Wayne is celebrating his freedom with a new song! Just a day after Trump pardoned him, he decided to drop a new track titled, “Ain’t Got Time.” The rapper was among 140 people to be pardoned by the former president before he left office on Wednesday, January 20.

As we previously reported, Wayne, whose real name is Dwayne Carter – was found with a loaded, gold-plated .45-calibre handgun while traveling to Florida on a private jet in 2019, and was facing up to 10 years in prison. Thanks to the former President, that won’t happen.

In his song, Wayne seems to reference the incident he was pardoned for: “The Feds, they hot on us, one hundred on the thermometer,” he raps. “They raided my private plane, I went got one that’s more privateer.”

This Thursday, he took to Twitter to personally thank Trump for giving him a second chance: “I want to thank President Trump for recognizing that I have so much more to give to my family, my art, and my community. I also want to thank @bradfordcohen for working so diligently to secure another chance for me. Love!

Lil Wayne’s Ex-Manager Reportedly Sues Rapper for $20 Million

Looks like Lil Wayne just can’t catch a break. According to TMZ, the rapper is reportedly being sued by his ex-manager for $20 million!

In legal documents obtained by the news site shows that Ronald Sweeney filed the lawsuit against the New Orleans rapper over unpaid commission. He claims Wayne initially hired him as his attorney in 2005 to help him negotiate his contract with Birdman’s Cash Money. The long legal battle eventually settled back in 2018, with Sweeney’s help. However, the lawyer-turned-manager says he was not fully compensated for his work in the Cash Money deal.

RELATED: Lil Wayne Looking At Serious Prison Time After Being Hit With Federal Weapons Charge

In the suit, filed by his attorney Ed McPherson, Sweeney notes that Lil Wayne asked him to fire Cortez Bryant — Weezy’s manager and childhood friend back in May 2018 over a conflict of interest in a legal dispute involving Drake and Cash Money. Sweeney claims he did so, and took over Bryant’s duties, and got Wayne to give him a pay raise from 10% to 17% commission. However, he says Bryant and Mack Maine somehow conspired against him, which made Wayne fire him later that year.

It was even noted that in June, Lil Wayne sold his masters to Universal Music Group for more than $100 million. Though, Sweeney doesn’t seem to be asking for any money from that deal. However, he brings it up to point out Wayne has the cash to pay him what he claims he’s owed, TMZ reports.

Lil Wayne has not publicly spoken out on this latest lawsuit.

Lil Wayne Looking At Serious Prison Time After Being Hit With Federal Weapons Charge

Lil Wayne is back in the headlines. This time it’s because he’s just been hit with a federal weapons charge and is now facing some serious prison time if convicted.

RELATED: Donald Trump Says Lil Wayne Asked To Have A Meeting: “He’s Really A Nice Guy”

The news site reports that the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida slapped the rapper with 1 count of possession of a firearm and ammunition by a convicted felon. The charge stems from a December 2019 incident where federal agents searched Wayne’s plane at Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport. At the time, the rapper was a passenger on that plane, which made a stop in Florida on its way to California. While Wayne’s attorney, Howard Srebnick, said his client was “cleared” to leave even though guns and drugs were reportedly found on the plane, it appears now the feds believe Wayne was wrongfully in possession of a weapon and ammunition, TMZ reports.

In a new statement to TMZ, Srebnick tells the news site that Wayne was charged for possessing a gold-plated handgun in his luggage back in December but “there is no allegation that he ever fired it, brandished it, used it or threatened to use it. There is no allegation that he is a dangerous person.” As he continued to talk about Wayne, who was convicted of a felony gun charge in NY back in 2009, Srebnick said “The charge is that because he was convicted of a felony in the past, he is prohibited from possessing a firearm.”

Lil Wayne faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted.

He posted a snap of himself standing next to the Prez along with the caption that read: “Just had a great meeting with @realdonaldtrump @potus besides what he’s done so far with criminal reform, the platinum plan is going to give the community real ownership,” Wayne said. “He listened to what we had to say today and assured he will and can get it done.”

Trump’s proposed “Platinum Plan” includes creating 3 million jobs in the Black community over the next four years, increasing access to capital by nearly $500 billion and strengthening Trump’s immigration policies to protect American jobs. Despite this, their little photo op sent social media into a storm, with some even claiming they will longer support the rapper. Wayne has yet to speak out on all the backlash.

However, this Friday, Trump has decided to give a little insight into their meeting, revealing that Wayne actually wanted to make this happen. While speaking to reporters, Trump said: “He’s a really nice guy. He’s really an activist in a very positive way. And he asked for a meeting and we had the meeting and as you saw the meeting went very well. Lil Wayne.”
