For Lil Wayne, skateboarding is more than just a hobby. It has now become his second career.
The pint-size rapper recently told Atlanta’s Hot 107.9, that he is taking a much needed break from the rap game to focus on his new found passion.
“I picked up the skateboard and I thought it’d be a hobby and what happened is it’s a lifestyle,” Wayne said. “You have to be fully committed because its super scary. In order to be fully committed you have to live that lifestyle. Like the young kids say, “You have to be about that life.’ It’s kind of putting rap on the back burner.”
One would argue why he would make such a drastic move at this point in his career. However, according to Wayne, his fans need to miss him for a while.
“I think fans deserve a little-to-no Wayne. I’ve been everywhere. I’ve been out on everybody’s song. I’m still on everybody’s song. My artists have been doing awesome. I believe the fans deserve some peace from me. So I’ll be on my skateboard in the meantime,” he explained.
Lil Wayne is currently preparing to open a skate park in his native New Orleans on August 29th and create a line of skate shoes.
