Lil Wayne was recently on the Tim Westwood Show in the UK and discussed many different topics, including his use of perscription cough syrup, which caused a part in the death of Houston rapper Pimp C. "I can step out here right now and my bus can flip over so I ain't worrying about health risks and all that," Wayne told Westwood. Wayne is famously known for always carrying a cup around that holds a mixture of soda and/or alcohol and perscription codeine ("sizzurp") and Wayne wasn't shy to talk about it, saying "I pour it up for Pimp C, I pour it up for Bun B, I pour it up for young me, ya dig?" [Watch here] Bun B, Pimp C's partner in UGK, has stopped using the famous sizzurp after Pimp C died and even took it out of his songs, recently saying "I had had a verse on this album (II Trill) about sizzurp and just all things considered with my personal situation; I thought it would've been in poor taste for me to do a song talking about drinking syrup but that's just me." When Bun B was asked bout Wayne stopping the use of the drug, he said "If Wayne chooses to stop at some point that'll be Wayne's decision."
