A Familiar Tune - If we’ve learned anything from Jay Z’s attempted retirement back in 2003, it’s that you've got to take rapper retirement announcements with a grain of salt. The latest to join the procession of rappers that have threatened to gracefully bow out of the rap game is Lil Wayne. Weezy tweeted on September 3 "I AM NOW DEFENSELESS AND mentally DEFEATED & I leave gracefully and thankful I luh my fanz but I'm dun." The news rocked everyone, from fans to celebrities alike. While this wasn't Wayne's first time threatening to exit the game, it sounds serious. Check out other artists who have made a similar announcement. – BET Staff (Photo: Kevin Winter/Getty Images for iHeartMedia)
