On Gambling For Commisary
âIâd bust a niggaâs ass at Uno,â he told writer Josh Eells. âWe gamble for phone time. Iâd take niggaâs commissary: Lemme get them cookies, lemme get them chips, get that soup.â
On LeBron James and Dwayne Wade
“When Wayne sat court-side at a recent Miami Heat/New Orleans Hornets game he was upset that Lebron James and Dwayne Wade never came over to talk to him. âThem niggas never speak to a nigga,â he says. âThey donât chuck me the deuce or nothing. Nigga spent all that money on them fucking tickets⊠Come holla at me. We sit right by them little bitch-ass niggas. At least come ask me why Iâm not rooting for you.â

On Solitary Confidment
“he spent his final month in jail in solitary after he was caught with an iPod charger in his cell. It could have been worse: He also had a watch with an MP3 player on it, but another inmate took the rap. âHe was a solid nigga,â says Wayne. âShout-out to CharlesâŠSolitary was the worst. No TV. No radio. No commissary. Basically youâre in there 23 hours a day.â The only upside was he had a window where he could watch cars go by. âI used to sit at that motherfucker all day,â he says.
New Reading Material
“In prison he read biographies of Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Marvin Gaye, Joan Jett, Vince Lombardi and Anthony Kiedis. â[Kiedis’] Scar Tissue was really good,â he says. âI also read the Bible for the first time. It was deep! I liked the parts where some character was once this, but he ended up being that. Like heâd be dissing Jesus, and then he ends up being a saint. That was cool.â
