Lil Wayne has revealed that he is preparing himself for an early retirement, insisting that his busy music career is unfair on his four kids.

Wayne, 28, admitted that he will be ready to hang up his mic in his early 30s, so that he can fully concentrate on being a father to his kids Reginae, Dwayne III, Lennox Samuel Ari and Neal.

"I'm bowing out still on top. I'ma make y'all want me when I retire. I honestly think (my career) is unfair to my kids. Honestly this is the real truth. So about 30, 31, 32, I gotta get ready to retire."
