In order for Lil Wayne to be able to focus on his music career, his mother advised him to drop out of school at the age of 14

During their chat, a video of Lil Wayne explaining to Katie Couric why his mother decided to have him drop out of high school at the beginning of his career emerged.

After seeing him get dressed one morning, Lil Wayne said that his mother had told him he was no longer enrolled in his high school. His mother felt that he should drop out of school at age 14 so that he could safely focus on his singing career.

In the first few seconds of the short film, Couric asks Wayne, who was an honor student before quitting high school, whether he regrets not finishing.

Not at all. “My mother suggested it, but kids, please get your high school diploma.” “My kids are all graduating from high school,” he said.

“I put out an album.” Thank heavens, I was already platinum, and one day, as I was getting ready for a typical public school, she stopped me. I’ll never forget the loud conversation she was having on the phone as she walked by my room. She saw me putting my backpack on my back and remarked, “Are you going to bring that to school with you?”

I seem to remember asking her whether I could bring it. He said, “I do,” after she gave it some consideration. After two minutes, still on the phone, she came back into the room and said, “You’re getting a GED; you’re not going to school anymore.” I granted my OK.

“If this is how you’re meant to go to school, then watch TV right now, tell Baby and them, and get your GED,” she continued. I then obtained my GED and enrolled in college as a result,” he said.
