Word?: Fat Joe Says Weezy Is Funnier In Jail

By Simone Hilliard

Fat Joe recently ventured to see the imprisoned Lil Wayne at Rikers Island. The Bronx-bred rapper described his frequent collaborator as being in "great spirits" and said he's much funnier when not under the influence of his favorite codeine-laced sizzurp and smoke.

Joe told MTV News:

"Lil Wayne, it's such a shame. He's in great spirits. I love Lil Wayne; that's like my little brother. He's just the coolest dude on Earth. I tell you one thing, him not being high made me realize how much funnier he is. This guy has jokes. We were up in there for four hours, just telling jokes, dying laughing, falling on the floor."

So what has Lil Wayne been up to these days? In a letter posted today (July 13) on weezythankxyou.com, the rapper shared that he's "Counting the days and still smiling. Most of those smiles come from hearing my kids’ voices over the phone. The others come from reading fan mail." Weezy also shared what a typical day for him is like:

"I wake up around 11AM. Have some coffee. Call my kids, and my wonderful mother. I then shower up. Read fan mail. Have lunch. Back on the phone. Read a book or write some thoughts down. Have dinner. Phone. Pushups. Then I listen to ESPN on the radio. Read the bible, then sleep. That’s my day."

Once Weezy is released from jail in November (if released for good behavior), the rapper will begin serving three years of probation, stemming from a 2008 arrest in Arizona, when authorities discovered drugs, drug paraphernalia and a firearm aboard the rapper's tour bus.
