Lil Wayne has been keeping a healthy diet for over 20 years now. The rapper explained in an Instagram live recently that he hasn’t eaten fast food in decades.

In the video, Wayne also goes on to claim he doesn’t even “know what McDonald’s smells like.”Despite touring and being on the road for long periods of time, the 40-year-old rapper prefers to cook his own meals.

“We had pulled over to eat, and you know I don’t eat fast food, so we had pulled over to cook.” As he maneuvers between parked cars, he arrives at the back of a van overflowing with bags presumably filled with food. “See, we pulled over, and we cooked,” he said.

The rapper ended this Instagram video with a message to his fans. “So eat healthy young men, young women,” he said.

Lil Wayne on Tour

Lil Wayne is currently on tour with six upcoming concerts, including one at The Masonic in San Francisco and another at The Wiltern in Los Angeles. The tour also includes stops in Montreal, QC, and Calgary, AB.

The tour ran from April throughout the month of May, wrapping up in Billings, Montana.

Wayne has been open about his distaste for fast food in the past. In an interview with New Music Daily on Apple Music in February, the New Orleans native revealed the advice his mother, a chef, gave him when he initially moved to Miami at the age of 19.

A personal chef

“One thing she really wanted me to do was, she wanted me to get a personal chef,” he said, before recalling her message, “‘You should get a personal chef, so therefore, you’re not just eating anything.’”

Wayne confirmed at the time he took her advice and has had a personal chef since 19.

“I don’t know what McDonald’s smells like. I haven’t eaten any fast food in forever,” he stated at the time as well.
