Lil Wayne's discography is so expansive that not even he can keep track of it.

When asked by Rolling Stone how he views his album "Tha Carter III" 15 years later, the rapper leveled with the magazine.

"I'm going to be so honest with you: I don't know Tha Carter III, Tha Carter II, Tha Carter One from Tha Carter IV. And that's just my God's honest truth," he said.

"You could lie, you could ask me [about] such and such song, I wouldn't even know what we talking about. So it holds no significance to me at all."

The 40-year-old rapper, who says he works on multiple songs per day even while on tour, looks at his memory loss as "a gift and a curse."

"I believe that [God] blessed me with this amazing mind, but would not give [me] an amazing memory to remember this amazing shit," he said.

Memory loss isn't the only health issue he's been candid about. The "A Milli" rapper has a history of seizures and described himself as epileptic in 2013. In February 2022, his plane made an emergency landing in Omaha, Nebraska, after he suffered two "minor" seizures, according to his reps. He reportedly had seizures in 2017, 2016, and 2013, though those likely aren't the only instances.

"I've had a bunch of seizures, ya'll just never hear about them," the rapper said in 2013.

Despite the health scares, Wayne says he has no plans to retire — not now, not ever.

"When you're an artist — a real artist like myself, I was born this way," he told Rolling Stone. "The real true artists and pioneers, they never retire. They died doing this."
