Lil Wayne returned with a new single on Thursday (January 21), just two days after receiving a presidential pardon from Donald Trump during his final day in office.
Released on Young Money Records, “Ain’t Got Time” features an appearance from Fousheé, who’s known for her voice on Sleepy Hallow’s “Deep End Freestyle.” On the track, Weezy pays tribute to the late Juice WRLD following his 2019 death and includes a reference to his private jet getting searched.
“They raided my private plane,” Wayne raps. “I went got one that’s more privater/R.I.P. Juice WRLD, wrote that on two cups/Pour out a lil juice for him/Shit gave me goosebumps/N-gga been through too much/Lookin’ in the rearview to see the future.”
Along with Kodak Black, Wayne was one of 143 people pardoned by Trump on Tuesday (January 19) before he exited the White House.
Reuters reporter David Shepardson tweeted, “Trump pardoned rappers Lil Wayne and Kodak Black who were prosecuted on federal weapons offenses, as well as former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, who was serving a 28-year prison term on corruption charges, a senior administration official said.”
Wayne was facing up to 10 years in prison after pleading guilty to a weapons charge in December 2020. In December 2019, authorities searched his plane at Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport and found a gold-plated Remington 1911, a .45-caliber handgun loaded with six rounds of ammunition and a bag containing small amounts of cocaine, ecstasy and Oxycodone.

Despite Wayne’s Trump endorsement ahead of the 2020 election, his lawyer Bradford Cohen insists it had nothing to do with the pardon.
“It never hurts that someone gets a full understanding of an individual when they’re just looking at a piece of paper,” Cohen said. “In hindsight, I guess it worked out.”
He continued, “I think they had a very strong connection. He’s in the entertainment world. He’s got a style that’s similar in terms of the way that he carries himself, and a lot of rappers and people in the industry relate to that.”
Drop that I can’t feel my face album motherfucker
Love that you remember those days, I’m thinking Juelz really can’t feel his face at this point. Cam did that man dirty. IMO Wayne is biting Juice’s style and content and the shoutout makes the track either a tribute or just an attempt to stay relevant.
Lil wayne look like a highschool desk with all that shitty scribbling in his face, lmao
???
Love lil Wayne….. but mutha f**k! this some funny sh** right here!
fuk this singing wayne shit. i wish hed go back to his old flow
One of the most overrated terrible ass rappers.
I totally agree with you,overrated and can’t rap at all. I can name at least 50 MC’s ,not rappers that would torch him on the mic.
Lets see some names you piece of shit, aint nobody do it like wayne.
Your Mom couldn’t swallow you because she had too many other kids in her mouth at the time clown.
Sorry bro that wasn’t for you,my bad.
Your mother couldn’t swallow you because she had too many other kids in her mouth clown.
Haaaa! You gotta be one those cats that listen to jay-z??? Do you? Be honest now little kev
MF Doom, J-Dilla, shit even Necro could spit better than him
This Ain’t It.
Another amazing piece of work ?
This is heat. Stop playing. Wayne is so far over heads that he is moonwalking in rewind on a time machine. It’ll soak in in a year or two.
Love the allusion.
??????‼️
Song sounds horrible.
Pure Trash! The whole situation up to this bag of shit single.
I’m a fan of weezy. But I’m not feeling this. Definitely not gonna go down as one his better tracks imo
Lie all you like. The lyrics can’t die! “Greatest Rapper Alive!”
This track is heavy. Heavily composed and put together. Heavy lyrics that obviously only a few understand for the hate this track has received. Record aside he put his heart out there. If you’re sensible you’d understand, maybe relate to what he’s saying. This joint was dope. Keep hating, nobody care.
Same witcha comment g, no one care. Ur opinion ain’t better than tha haters just cuz u speakin but u talk like u big for it ??
THE MOST HIGH IS ALWAYS LISTENING FAM, THAT’S WHY I CONTINUOUSLY KEEP PRAYING! MUCH LOVE & CONTINUOUS BLESSINGS FOR LIL WAYNE & HIS FAMILY!
That stupid lollipop song was better than this.
ur an idiot.
Awesome. Great. Glad to hear they let Wayne go. Now please be smarter this time. You don’t need fucking weapons dude. No one wants to see you locked up or taken away from the hip hop community. You got one heck of a voice and reach dude. The streets need you. The hood could use you. There’s so many lost kids of the night who could be raised up and get the message from you. You don’t need weapons bro. Spread the message of love. You wanna get high, you do you G. But you don’t need weapons. Our minds are the mightiest weapons known to mankind. You got this Wayne. I believe in you homie.
His message is drugs, sex and killing people. We should be taking his voice away.
Bitch shut up
With that money, you have armed guards. Getting busted for firearms charges as a celebrity is as stupid as getting a DUI/DWI as a celebrity.
Been a fan since u was riding low-ryder bicycles in juvenile music vids homeboy… this was a spur-of-the-moment lic u spit SOBER… Not one of ur finest moments but I get where it was coming from… ill be waiting for better shit… shout out to Trump for doing Hip-Hop and the Hood a service!
Kinda wack ain’t hating on Wayne just on this song but hey he just happy to be free he dont care right now he probely all high on what ever and drunk celebrating his freedom and they say Trump is racist. God Bless America
