Lil Wayne Explains Martian References, Says Cee-Lo Inspired!!!

Lil Wayne and you aren’t the same. He’s made is clear, numerous times even. He’s a “martian.”

According to the New Orleans lyricist, his alien assimilation was
actually inspired by Cee-Lo. Not by the ingredients in his ubiquitous
Styrofoam cup.

Weezy told us in October 2008 issue that he supports alternative hip-hop star and his artistic defiance.

“I’m a supporter of anybody that’s out there like that,” Wayne
explained. “I’m different from y’all. So instead of saying, ‘I’m
different,’ I have a cool way of saying, ‘I’m a martian.’ I’m so glad
I’ve developed into that type of artist. ‘Cause I never could see that
shit from the Hot Boys days, to become a nigga that’s just lyrically
out there. And make a muthafucka love it. Even though you could talk
about nothing and put something to it to make it mean something.”

Wayne’s dominance this year continues. Aside from gracing the cover of
the latest XXL, his most recent album continues to sell well. Tha
Carter III currently sits at number six on the Billboard 200 charts 12
weeks after its release. The album just pushed past the 2.3 million
mark.
