By now, Lil Wayne has made it clear that he is a great fan of sports. The emcee has had his own show online, he’s appeared on several sports shows in the past and he attends games regularly. But in a recent interview with another sports show, Jim Rome On Showtime, he took the time to talk about more than just sports. While most of the interview was centered around it, perhaps his most heartfelt message came at the end of the interview. During this moment, Wayne expressed regret for his past with weapons and respect to those who suffered from tragedy in the recent Connecticut shooting, showing that he had much more on his mind than just sports & Rap.
When discussing his time in prison, Lil Wayne thanked those who supported him. In particular, he thanked Brett Favre.
“At the moment, it meant more than a lot. At that moment, you’re looking for help from anywhere,” he explained. “You’re looking for support from anywhere possible so to hear Brett Favre say he’s praying for me everynight, that put a smile on my face for a long time. And to smile in that place is almost impossible.”
He also discussed his displeasure with current NFL rules, gave compliments to some athletes who rap and more.
However, his most most heartfelt moment came at the end of the interview. During this time, Wayne took a moment to provide a message for Sandy Hook Elementary, the school most affected by the Connecticut shooting.
“Before I leave, I want to say you mentioned that in 2010, I was locked up for a weapon. If there was anything I could do in my life that I could ever change, it’d be that. Sandy Hook Elementary, my heart goes out to you,” he said showing that Sandy Hook Elementary was written on his shirt.

its crazy the stuff we choose to comment on, respond to, and criticize. I feel like if this said “Lil Wayne Dropping Album in 2013” the comments would be filled. I think this is just as important, if not more so.
Yeah Your right MaG. Thiz Is Just Az Important. I’m Suprised No One Has Commented Yet.
that’s true. good on him
Good on him
remember when he shot himself?
How is this news? I regret those weapons charges I got? No way, he spent time in jail for it, I’d regret it too. Then why’d he have them? Why’s he still rapping about the same shit? Promoting Chief Keef and Lil Mouse? Dude wants attention. It’s like he’s looking for a way to make Sandy Hook about him…
he is definitely maturing. folks only praise the negative.
judging by his wardrobe i would say he is doing the opposite of maturing
30 year old man dressing like a 13 yr old
@WL yes that’s very true
you couldnt help still had to say something negative. Damn hater aint shit. Really its a shirt homie. A shirt
so you mean when you have certain clothes you are mature. Is that what Im hearing….lol.
@1st Anonymous
With all due respect, only women complain about other people’s clothes.
and maybe im a woman who dont like men dressed up like boys
also these are rappers with no education. What you expect them to look like. These are not lawyers and doctors. IjS
Wayne has an education he graduated from college University of Phoenix….
they gave him a diploma cause hes famous
he didnt go to class and put in work writing essays and papers like everyone else who goes to school,
that shit dont count
^^ Yes it counts nigga. You can sit and cry about it all day but it doesn’t matter, he’d still have a diploma at the end of the day.
yes he has a piece of paper but no he does not have an education
you cant buy that it takes work and time
gotta respect wayne for this
Where is all the comments at? Yea the haters quiet got to find something to hate so its his shirt. Thats sad I feel sorry for you miserable life.
born and raised in the southbronx i did time in rikers island a couple time and im not proud of it so big up to weezy he said some real stuff..

Didn’t this GOOFBALL shoot himself standing in the mirror pretending to be his Uncle and THINKING he was REALLY a Gotti Boy?? I applaud him for his message BUT if we are going to ask MC’s about weapons and jail time…….let’s go for people like T.I. or 50…..who REALLY ACTUALLY lived in the streets and REALLY were in tune with that lifestyle……HALF these guys get in the booth PRETEND that are gangbangers, crime lords, and weapon fanatics and THEN when some shit happens with them or society they back pedal faster then a DB covering Calvin Johnson…..word up.
Anybody who lived in poverty until the age of 10, in the 17th ward like Lil Wayne, can be considered a real ghetto boy. Clown, just because you make money and move to a mansion, it doesn’t change what the hood made you. Only someone from the suburbs would even think like that, because they don’t understand.
milehigh spoken like a real geek. If you grow up in the hood shit is hard as fuck. If you never been to the hood dont speak on the hood-Treach Even you dont gang bang or sell dope it doesnt mean shit is easy or you was soft because I know guys that are not gang bangers or d boys and they will kill you quick.
TO BOTH you lame ass HERBS……he was LOADED at age 11…..NOTICE I didn’t discredit the FAMILY, I DID RESEARCH on Slim fucks…….HE WAS A GOTTI BOY, you KNOW in the 17th WARD THEY STARTED THAT WHITE TEE shit…..You both need to stfu……pops is from the street and YEA I moved to the burbs……don’t be mad. I’m stating TRUTH here…..the “LIL GUY” was rich as all get out by 11……
HE AIN’T BG…..OR TURK you both need to sit the fuck down with ya nose in the corner……got it!?
LMAO @ MILEHIGHKID
Y’ALL CAN’T TELL HE AIN’T 1 OF THEM “QUOTEMAN” OR “I HAVE BLACK FRIENDS I GET A PASS” WHITEBOYS?
#SALUTE

Urban media is just trying to give you someone positive to look up to. If your role model wasnt a drug addict maybe you would strive toward an audemar instead of being content with your timex.

Wayne just trying to boost future album sales
And what are you doing with your life? ……Yeah that’s right.
My opinion has canged of Lil Wayne. Respect.
Another quick point…Gunplay – conspiracy theories?! Provide irrefutable evidence of your opinions re: Sandy Hook Elementary; otherwise, stop with the gimmicks and attention-whoring.
Bret Favre needs new friends.
no he doesn’t, however, you need to make some friends and stop hating on lil wayne.
I nearly killed myself with a firearm that I accidentally discharged into my chest putting a bullet 1 inch from my heart. I went to prison on a NY State firearms conviction. Here is a small sample of some lyrics from my career as a gangster rapper:
“With the gun in this position, you could call it Kamasutra”
“I’ma call my guns jumpers, cause my bullets just leapin to ’em”
“Imma spare everything but these n-s I flip the gun and gun f*** these n-s take the knife off the AK and cut these n-s”
“My gun go crazy like it’s retarded. Red light on it’s like it’s recording”
“Guns turn you boys into sex change.”
“A gun is not a math problem, I won’t even think, Just leave ya dead like the mink under my sink.”
MY POINT. Exactly……where them crabs that tried callin me out……..”here fishy fishy fishy….”
get out of here with that shit, you expect us to feel sad for you, u fukcin dumbass u shuldve died if you were that stupid shootin youself next to ur heart.
he was talking about lil wayne, hes the one who shot himself in the chest
And yet tomorrow lil wayne will head into the studio and rap about guns and shooting motherfuckers that aint on his “level”

Cool out on that fake stuff please, you don’t care fa real
shut the fuck up (you are a disgrace to black people)
from a whit irish bloke
At the age of 16 Lil Wayne was thuggin in the deadly streets of New Orleans
At the age of 16 Tupac was dancing like a faggot in a tight ass tu-tu
‘Nuff said
YMCMB!
DAMN NIGGA I USUALLY DONT REPLY TO COMMENTS BUT U KILLED IT..AINT NO BROKE ASS WANNABE HIPHOP DICKHEADS GON SAY SHIT..JUST WATCH
Survey question: who is gayer between BOY & YESSIR?
I’M the real BOY but whoever is continuing my ministry against fake hip hop such as Pac & KenDICK LAME-ar then I SALUTE YOU! Good Job soldier!
Tupac was a balerina HOMO-THUG who pranced around in a tu-tu!
YESSIR almost had it with the typing in all-caps like his caps lock is broken, but I think BOY just barely stole it with “KenDICK LAME-ar.”
Word around town is that the Anonymous above me is a BITCH ASS NIGGA.
LONG LIVE WEEZY!
Both BOY and YESSIR are some stupid ass niggas who don’t know shit. Nothing you say is true.
“During this time, Wayne took a moment to provide a message for Sandy Hook Elementary, the school most affected by the Connecticut shooting.”
the shooting was at the school, who wrote this? a chimp?
oh god damn I’m dying
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! You’re right tho. This website has the worst writers, i really only come here to laugh at the comments cause the information is always inaccurate.
Wayne is just following somebody’s orders. This is propaganda for gun control. Wayne’s guns were not going to be the ones shooting up a fuckin elementary school. How the fuck does this shooting have anything to do with whether responsible citizen’s should be able to protect themselves from a foreign onslaught… or domestic for that matter. Fuck these politicians.
Garaunteed he continues to brag about guns in his songs…..
This guy is one who made me ashamed to say I even listen to hip-hop/rap anymore. “Hey whats your favorite music”, reply: “um hip-hop”, reply: “your a dork”
you’re
I’M SORRY FOR BEING JUDGEMENTAL, BUT HOW CAN YOU LOOK AT WAYNE AND TAKE HIM SERIOUSLY???
“he didnt go to class and put in work writing essays and papers like everyone else who goes to school”
Wayne and essays don’t mix.
