The rapper has spoken up on his memory problems earlier this year
Lil Wayne opened up about his memory problems while speaking to Rolling Stone in June this year. The rapper stated that when someone speaks to him about any one of his music projects, he cannot remember anything.
"I don't еvеn know if that's whеn That Cartеr III camе out. That's how much I don't know. And also, I always look at it as thе cursе part of thе gift and thе cursе."
Despite his memory issues, Wayne said that he will continue working:
"When you're an artist, a real artist like myself, I was born this way. So I don't think that the real true artists and pioneers, they never retire. They died doing this."
People magazine stated that Wayne suffered from two seizures in February 2022, when he was on a flight to California. The flight had to make an emergency landing twice, and while paramedics attempted to help him in the beginning, Wayne reportedly refused to get any treatment.
Lil Wayne's upcoming album is reportedly titled Tha Carter VI. He teased the album in September 2023 through X (formerly Twitter), where he posted a link that redirects to a website where fans can add or save the album in advance. An official release date for the album is yet to be revealed.
