Lil Wayne: 'Skateboarding Has Changed My Attitude'

Lil Wayne has admitted that his new passion for boarding has "changed his attitude."

Speaking to MTVs talk show Hip Hop POV, the rapper said: Ive become friends with the most funniest and coolest people.

But these kids that come from the skate world, it is so different and so awesome. I can just let it all be. I dont even wear jewellery no more.

But he was quick to add that he still had love for his hip-hop homies, saying: I would pop a bottle with you guys any day.

I would make it rain with you any day, brother.

The Young Money boss' new hobby landed him in hot water a few weeks back when his entourage were accused of assaulting a photographer.

Earlier this week, Ghostface Killah agreed with Weezy's views on skateboarding and says it is now very much a part of hip-hop culture.

His interview will be featured on the shows next epidsode.
