Lil Wayne fans have been left heartbroken after the rapper hinted that he’s hanging up his mic.
The music star – who has had a rough year, suffering seizures and rowing with his label – tweeted that he was “defenceless and mentally defeated”, and fans have taken it to mean he is retiring.

What does Lil Wayne think he's doing? :/
He can't retire without dropping Carter V :/
