(Photos) Lil Wayne Responds To HIV Rumors
The internet is a crazy place. I’m not sure what’s more annoying – satire sites or the dummies that don’t realize they’re satire and proceed to share the stories like they’re “news.” Such was the case yesterday afternoon, when known satire site The Daily Leak posted an article about Lil Wayne being diagnosed with HIV. (Which, even though it’s “satire” is still REALLY not cool…)
“Lil’ Wayne Of Y.M.C.M.B Came Out Publicly Today And Revealed That He Has Contracted H.I.V.,” the article read. “Our Sources Tell Us That Later On This Week He Is Going To Make A Formal Annoucement To The Media & Fans, However He Did Give Positive Words Of Advice, ‘Sometimes you get caught up with the strippers and groupies…Just Wear protection.’ #Prayforweezy.”
How anyone actually took that as a real story is BEYOND me, but nonetheless, the #PrayForWeezy trending topic grew so large, Tune eventually felt the need to address it. He’s since deleted the tweet, though. Check it out in the gallery!

Your source is wrong. A copycat site called the DailyLeakz.com posted an article about Lil Wayne contracting HIV, not the DailyLeak.org.
If he do got HIV he need to get his life right with God take the life that he got left and build a nation of Christian going people around his self with the money he gotta help many people as possible pray be grateful and no that God is real it’s not a game people live to die rich people forget about God when they get money wake up call wayne

don’t believe the hype it’s a sequel as an equal can I get this through to you. Public Enemy
The media is the principality of the air, meaning the “Devil”! It is said that when you’re in the industry and your time is up, this is what happens, your name is scandalized and your image is tarnished! The devil doesn’t play fair. He will allow you to make the money but when he’s done with you, he destroys you. Kill, steal, and destroy is his MO! The media is the number 1 tool to execute the devils plan. Wayne got in the bed with the devil but after the love making was over, it’s just like a jealous ex. Wayne said that he read the bible when he went to jail in NY. You cannot read the bible and not have the desire to change things on your life. Wayne may have used the word “no” to the devils request and now this is the end result!
Something like that you just don’t joke with.. I wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemies.. who does that, I think who ever made it up should be charge, if I were lil wayne I would smack the shittt out of the whole staff that allowed this to be published. Real talk
