    The fact that Wayne called him and asked to be interviewed was a humble act and means he really cares
  • When you feel alone in a room full of people, that’s when you truly understand what loneliness feels like.
  • Psilocybin saved my life. I was addicted to heroin for 15 years and after Psilocybin treatment I will be 3 years clean in September. I have zero cravings. This is something that truly needs to be more broadly used in addiction treatment.

    The more I learn about Lil Wayne the more I respect this guy. Just a brilliant and kind and honest soul

    “Too much time to think, too much time to compare." This guy is dropping bars.
  • @teeniejuicy
    The amount of courage this took on Wayne’s part is going to fall into a whole domino effect of men starting to open up about mental health. All it takes is one person to speak out. HUGE props to him🙌🏽
  • @jennikattt
    Words cannot describe how much I love Lil Wayne.
  • is it just me that thinks Wayne's energy is so positive and inviting?
  • @evanjohnson3008
    I love how clear Wayne talks when he’s sober. He looks and sounds like he’s doing better
  • 'Will I MATTER WHEN ITS ALL OVER'. That line has me shook to the core
  • @DG-Muzak
    I am about to turn 57 and know really nothing about this man. I have seen him and know he is a rapper. I stumbled upon this story and have a new respect for him. I myself have come to realize my own mental illness in the last few years and I feel I was meant to see this. Thank you Mr. Wayne for this. I feel inspired. Blessings to this interview and this channel.

    “So I didn’t die that day But somebody was gone” this is way deeper than it really is, appreciate you tuenchi
  • Thank you, Uncle Bob for saving the baby who would grow up to become a living legend.
  • @kush..

  • @meb777
    I feel him. Mental health is a real issue in our society that has been ignored.
  • He doesn’t even know how much I’m struggling mentally, single dad raising 2 daughters. I’m 33 and grew up off him. I’m going to try to just keep going. Thank you. Really...
  • Probably the best interview that Wayne has had ever. Congratulations Emmanuel!

    I felt ashamed about my abandonment issues and put on this tough guy facade this video gives me validation to be transparent
