Lil Wayne Phones MTV From Prison

The rapper phoned our host Kevin Manno from Rikers Island jail, where he is serving a one year sentence for gun possession.

 

Weezy thanked his fans on air, admitting he gets tons of letters of support.

 

"I probably get 150 pieces of mail [a day], and I probably read a good 30 each day," he explained. "I get to keep [the letters], I send 'em home. If I keep 'em in the cell, they say it's a fire hazard. Honestly, I await the mail every day."

 

The New Orleans native also spoke about his new album I Am Not A Human Being, which is due for release next month.

 

Wayne said: “Making the album was totally fun, because I love recording. That's what I love to do, next to breathing, I made sure I had some material before I came in here to release while I was in here.”

 

And signing off the interview the Lollipop star was asked what he’ll do when he’s released from prison later this year.
