When Lil Wayne turned down the first check he made in the music business, it taught him a valuable lesson about money.

During his visit to The Pitch, Weezy thought about the important lessons his mother, Jamaica Carter, taught him by turning down the check. The multi-plat number-telling artist says that his mother showed him that money wasn’t everything.

“How about a first background check?” LÖl Wayne said something. “I just gave it to her.” It was my mom’s turn to give it to me, and she did. With that check, we got three d’s before the other three d’s. That was something we had never seen before, you know what I meаn? ‘Boy that’s your,’ she said. “That was your work.””

He went on, “Go tell you how we are.” That right there taught me how to be with money right there at that time. I learned that it doesn’t meаn anything. “You don’t need anything out of that?” “I don’t need anything,” she said. ‘I’m going to build you a house,’ I said. He also took all the rιsk he could to build the house. But that taught me right then that it was just paper. “That doesn’t meаn much.”

According to an interview with ESPN in 2014, Wayne said that he got a Pathfinder after his mother turned down his first-ever art check for $6,500.

Elsewhere in his conversation with L.L. Wayne told The Posse that he stopped writing down his rhyme when he found out that Jay-Z hadn’t written down his bar. Wayne wrote his last song’s lyrics for the 2002 song “10,000 Bar.”

“Love Blake, love Jadakin—I love all of that stuff, but Jay. “As soon as I heard it, I topped,” Wayne said. “You could ask my boy. “I heard that jеrk Jay-Z doesn’t write anymore.”

He went on, “We went to the theater and did ‘10,000 Bar,’ and that was the last time I rapped anything off of a paper.”
