NEWS: Lil Wayne: Drake Slept with My Girlfriend.


 Drake and Lil Wayne

By Nemmy Kim

Lil Wayne is making some shocking confessions in a new book. In the proposal, which is being shopped to publishers, Weezy reveals that Drake was screwing his then-girlfriend.
While serving time at Rikers Island for gun possession in 2010, Weezy claims that his protégé visited him and confessed to having sexual relations with his girl, saying, “Yeah, it’s true. Don’t f**k with her like that cause I did f**k her.”
In the proposal, which TMZ obtained, Wayne writes, “This is the type of s**t that a man never wants to find out when he’s locked up. Or, maybe so, cause only God knows what I would have done if I wasn’t locked up right now.”
The woman told Wayne that she had sex with Drake the day before they met. Wayne admits that he and his girlfriend argued a lot, so Drake advised him, “Don’t f**k with her like that.”
But the situation weighed heavily on Weezy. “I woke up feeling fu**ed up about the fu**ed up day that I had,” he shares. “Finding out that she fu**ed Drake was the absolute worst thing I could’ve ever found out.”
He continues, “As a man, honestly, that s*** hurt … and not because it was Drake, it could have been any man. It would’ve hurt the same.”
Wayne admits that he was so depressed that he didn’t come out of his jail cell for days.
