Despite this, he attributed his extraordinary creative mind, which allowed him to produce remarkable songs, as a unique blessing from God.
Despite the challenges posed by memory loss, Lil Wayne views it as both a blessing and a curse. He mentioned that his daily work routine and constant creative output may contribute to the strain on his memory but sees it as an integral part of the creative process.
