Lil Wayne’s Last Letter From Jail

Hello world. Time is ticking and I’m counting every second. Because of my new limitations, this unfortunately has to be my last letter. I don’t think people truly understand how much their thoughts and well wishes have helped me through this time in my life. Not everyone is as lucky as I am and it humbles me daily. You would be amazed what positivity can do in a negative environment. I’m going to miss reading about your lives. I’m going to miss looking at the pictures. They were the highlight of my days aside from speaking with my kids. Don’t stress over this in 27 days, the ride starts again. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who is supporting I Am Not A Human Being. It amazes me each time people go out and support my music. I’ll always be in debt to you for that. Keep rocking your “Free Weezy” tees and rocking out to my music. Trust me when I say this is almost over. I love you. I’ll continue to pray for all of you. Just keep doing the same for me.

Read on.WHO: illseedWHAT: Rumors, Funnies, Fails and more!WHERE: illseed.com, twitter.com.illseedHOW: Send your rumors, sightings and ill pics to illseed at allhiphoprumors@gmail.com. THE DAILY TWO SENSE Did you read the letter Nas wrote to Def Jam? Click here. HE WENT IN. It was a beautifully written piece of prose. I love Hip-Hop when it is like that. Uncompromising. It makes me think abou Lupe Fiasco and all the other artists that TRULY stand up and fight for their art. Now, that’s whats up! That’s what artists are supposed to do. Here is a vid of Lupe dissing Atlantic Records: Labels better smarten up. CHELSEA DESTROYS RUMORS Now why did Chelsea do that? Weren’t we all ready to talk about her and 50 Cent all day and every day? Well, I guess she wasn’t. She had denied that she and Curtis are dating. “Everyone, calm down. I met with mr. Cent about a potential project,” Handler wrote. “There’s nothing to report yet, ill let you know if there is.” Well, 50 sure baited everybody in with the non-comment. OPRAH’S P##### AT KANYE WEST! Uh OH! You don’t cancel on Oprah mannnnnnnnnn! When Oprah says go, you go! (“What’s up with all that uncompromising talk, ‘seed?”) I don’t think this is exclusive or a secret. But, Kanye West recently canceled on Oprah and did it via email. Some are saying he is now on her s**t list for doing it in such short notice. I heard they had a rooftop performance planned and a super deep interview all set up. She’s not pleased. YUNG BERG WILL BE ROBBED AGAIN? Why do people rob Berger? Why does Berger keep buying chains? That dude from the UK who lives in Miami has vowed to rob Yung Berg again if he comes around him. Really? I mean, if Yung berg shoots him, he’d be a fool. Not, that Berg would do that, but you never know what a person will do pushed against a wall. Secondly, there are law enforcements that are looking at this foolish youtube era of criminality. Don’t believe? Read this! ILLSEED’S QUICKIES Lil Wayne has requested that his fans stop writing him during his last 30 days in jail. I think I said this, but both Fabolous and Amber Rose have shot down rumors that she is pregnant. Ciara’s album has no release date. How long has it been? Kanye’s new jawn Selita Eubanks is reportedly ready for kids. I hope she told him. Whether she sells or not, Rihanna is guaranteed $410k per show. As you may know, she hasn’t been selling very well. Nice deal. Shout out to Sister 2 Sister magazine…22 years in the game! Keyshia Cole is on the current cover. EPIC FAIL OF THE DAY Now, this doesn’t make any sense! Toni Braxton has filed for bankruptcy for the second time. She filed the first time in 1998 after selling $40 Million records. I wonder what label she was signed to. On the other side, which is present day, she is in even hotter financial water. She owes between $10 and $50 million to various companies and creditor. Guess who? The Four Seasons Hotel, American Express, Tiffany & Co., Orkin Pest Control, Screen Actors Guild and DirecTV. GET OUT! Now, you an I are working day to day, but she racks up a $50 MILLION DEBT? She could help bail out Haiti with all that misuse! Sad. SIGNS THE WORLD IS COMING TO AN END! What the hell…Wiz Khalifa spends like $10,000 a month on weed!!? YOUNG MONEY CREDIT CARD? **Sees Toni Braxton and passes on credit card** CRAZY VIDEOS! What is going on? Look at these crazy vids.

The reporter definitely is “OK.” YOU WACK JOBS, WE LOVE YOU! They keep us talking, but if we stop talking about them then they should worry!
