Lil Wayne has acknowledged he has difficulty recalling his own songs.
The rapper, 40, told Rolling Stone that a portion of his initial collections, including Tha Carter III, Tha Carter II and Tha Carter IV, hold “no importance” as far as he might be concerned because of cognitive decline.
“And that’s just my God’s honest truth,” he told Rolling Stone. “You could lie, you could ask me [about] such and such song, I wouldn’t even know what we talking about.”
He added, “I always look at it as the curse part of the gift and the curse. I believe that [God] blessed me with this amazing mind, but would not give [me] an amazing memory to remember this.”
Lil Wayne revealed he couldn’t recall that one of his biggest albums, Tha Carter III, was released in 2008.
“I don’t even know if that’s when ‘Tha Carter III’ came out. That’s how much I don’t know,” he said. “And also, I always look at it as the curse part of the gift and the curse. I believe that (God) blessed me with this amazing mind, but would not give (me) an amazing memory to remember this amazing s—.”

However, Lil Wayne also noted that, despite being unable to remember some of his most famous hits, he doesn’t plan to retire any time soon.
