Lil Wayne speaks for the very first time since filing a $51 million lawsuit against Cash Money. In an interview with Rolling Stone, the Young Money boss shed some light on his highly publicized fallout with Birdman.

While he once considered the Cash Money founder a father figure, the two are no longer on speaking terms. ‘I have no words,’ Wayne tells the magazine. ‘I’m super-numb to it, to tell you the truth.’

But he admits that the lawsuit has taken a toll on him. ‘I’m human,’ says Wayne. ‘But it’s nothing that a good blunt can’t cure.’

He finished recording ‘Tha Carter V’ some months ago, but a release date still looms. ‘It’s super-done,’ he reveals. ‘Cake baked, icing on top, name on top, candles lit. I would have released it yesterday if I could. But it’s a dead subject right now. It’s a jewel in the safe. It’s that stash-house money.’

He enjoys younger artists like Rae Sremmurd and Migos, but admits that his age is starting to show. ‘Sometimes I don’t know what the hell they’re talking about on Instagram,’ he laughs. When that occurs, he turns to his 16-year-old daughter,‎ Reginae: ‘I had to call her, like, ‘What the hell is ‘on fleek’?’

Wayne previously announced plans to retire after Tha Carter V, but he’s having second thoughts. ‘I’ve thought about it,’ he says. ‘But for a person like me that bleeds, eats, sleeps, and shits music, it’s hard to do.’
