Lil Wayne dropped a huge bombshell on fans this week as he hinted he may be retiring from music.
The rapper – who has had both health issues and problems with his Cash Money record label – described himself as “mentally defeated” in tweets posted early on Saturday morning, saying that he would “leave gracefully” as he praised his fans.
He wrote: “I AM NOW DEFENSELESS AND mentally DEFEATED & I leave gracefully and thankful I luh my fanz but I’m dun (sic)”
He later added: “Ain’t lookin for sympathy, just serenity (sic)”
However, after worried and supportive tweets from fans and fellow stars, Wayne later took to Twitter to reassure all the well wishers.
I’m good y’all don’t trip,” he tweeted.
Since 2012, the rapper has suffered from seizures, including a number of attacks over the summer .
Meanwhile, he is still embroiled in a two-year battle with record label Cash Money, with the star seeking the release of his album Tha Carter V, or a release from his contract.

When a fan reached out to Rick Ross asking him to buy out Wayne’s contract, he referred to the company’s boss and said: “Get Birdman on the phone.”
Other stars reached out, including Missy Elliot, who replied: “Prayers up 4 whatever u may be enduring right now this to will pass & may u find PEACE… I will always be a fan of your work (sic)”
