Lil Wayne Thanks fans via his blog posting
Some artists say they’re grateful for the support of each and every one of their fans, but Lil Wayne really means it. In the latest blog posting on his website WeezyThankxYou.com, Weezy thanks close to 100 people who’ve sent him messages of support by name. A few of them are in the music business, like Karla Moy, who runs Drake’s official website, and Vanessa Satten, the editor of XXL magazine. But most of them are just regular fans.

The incarcerated rapper kicked off the posting by telling fans that he’s “alive, breathing and blessed,” and that he’s spending his time behind bars reading and working out. He writes, “I know I say it in every letter, but thank you from the bottom of my heart for the pictures, rocking ‘Free Weezy’ tees and continuous letters. They mean the world.”

Among the fans he thanked were one Kyle Rockin McLaughlin, about whom he says, “Cool middle name; Dani Gruber, who he tells, “I absolutely love your personality but confidence is key;” April Mendoza, who he calls “cute and funny;” a woman named Olivia, who he calls “metaphysically beautiful,” and some dude named Jonathan Everett David Powell, about whom Weezy writes, “I swear I almost dropped a tear reading your letter…you are my power…you are amazing.” Now that’s gratitude
