Lil Wayne posted the third letter to his fans on his website, WeezyThanxYou.com
on Monday (June 28). The post follows Weezy’s Mother’s Day letter written last
month and and initial note in April written when he first launched the site
from prison to communicate with fans.
In the new message, Wayne writes that he hopes his fans are
enjoying their summer and profusely thanked everyone for their support, from
the pictures he’s received to all the letters sent to him at the Eric M. Taylor
detention center at New York’s Rikers Island. The rapper only gave a short
update about his life behind bars, saying he was doing well.
“On my end, I’m alive, breathing and blessed,” Wayne
wrote. “You already know how I’m passing time — reading and working
out.”
The Young Money boss also gave a shout-out to his artists and said
the collective had made him proud the night before, as both Drake and Nicki
Minaj scored hardware Sunday night at the 2010 BET Awards.
Wayne then went on to personally thank nearly 100 supporters
who’ve written him letters of encouragement, responding to individuals,
including Karla Moy, who runs Drake’s official fan website and Vanessa Satten,
the editor of XXL magazine.
“First, I thank you for your thoughts and prayers,” he
wrote to followers Ashley and Lil Mackenzie. “I would also like you to
know that your letter touched my heart. I wasn’t able to keep the wristbands
but thank you anyway. Gudda and I send our deepest love to you and Lil
Mack.”
“Cool middle name,” Wayne told Kyle Rockin McLaughlin.
“And I’ll be in W. Palm one day. Hope you’re there.”
The rapper is almost halfway through his prison term and appears
to be ready to get back to his career, as he told Satten he hopes to grace the
cover of the magazine again soon; earlier this month the Cash Money Records
superstar recorded a verse from prison for a remix of Drake’s “Light
Up.”
“Thank you for the love and I can’t wait to be on the cover
again,” Wayne wrote. (Via MTV News)
