(sohh.com) Calling in from Rikers, Weezy discussed how much of an impact his supporters have had on him since being jailed in March on a gun conviction.
“[The] fans have been more than unbelievable,” he said in an interview. “When I read those letters, that fan mail, and see what they say about what my music does for them, and how it helped them through situations … to read that, that makes me take my words and my whole outlook on what I’m doing a lot more seriously. I probably get 150 pieces of mail [a day], and I probably read a good 30 each day. I get to keep [the letters], I send ’em home. If I keep ’em in the cell, they say it’s a fire hazard. Honestly, I await the mail every day.”
