Lil Wayne announced his retirement over the weekend on Twitter with a series of worrisome tweets, including one where he said he was “defenseless and mentally defeated.” These messages reflected a very somber moment in the rap legend’s career that would eventually lead fans and artists to rally around their rap hero. Amongst Drake, Flying Lotus & Chance The Rapper, Young Thug has now stepped up with some words of encouragement for Weezy: “I promise I’m holding u down no matter what… fuck the world and what they think\feel I’m with u for life, ur the reason I rap…” He then added, “I just wish u could love me the way I love u big bro… ur my idol for life and I hope ur sorry for bashing me, not knowing how much I love u.”
