Lil' Wayne Announces Plans To Retire

Lil' Wayne has said he plans to retire from music in the coming years.

The 28-year-old rapper said he wanted to step down while he was still at his peak.

"I'm bowing out still on top, I'll make you all want me when I retire," he told XXL magazine. "I honestly think [my career] is unfair to my kids. Honestly this is the real truth. So about 30, 31, 32, I got to get ready [to retire]."

Lil' Wayne is currently putting the finishing touches to his much-anticipated album, 'Tha Carter IV'.

Originally due to be released this month, the album will now arrive on August 29.

'Tha Carter IV' is the direct follow-up to Lil' Wayne's critically acclaimed album, 'Tha Carter III', which sold over a million copies in its first week of release.
