Lil Wayne opened up about his healthy eating habits and admitted he hadn’t touched a takeaway in two decades.

The rapper put his choice to avoid greasy dial in meals to the fact that he has had a personal chef since the age of 19.

He also declared that he couldn’t even remember what a McDonald’s meal smelt like after having abstained for so long.

In a chat with Apple Music 1’s Zane Lowe, the musician explained: ‘When I was 19 I moved to Miami and my mom is a chef and she was very happy for the move because New Orleans is crazy.

‘One thing she really wanted me to do was get a personal chef.

‘So from the age of 19 to now, I’ve always had a personal chef. I haven’t eaten any fast food forever. I don’t know what McDonald’s smell like.’

Lil Wayne also insisted he doesn’t stick to a workout regime and jokingly said: ‘Only gyms I know is Jim Jones. I can’t lift a weight. I don’t do no workout.’

During the interview, the rapper also discussed his place in the music industry – insisting he was constantly inspired by other artists and was happy embracing new directions.

He explained: ‘There is a point where you look around and you’re like I’m not even sure if anyone’s coming down this road with me.

‘Any direction I go into, it’s always inspired. Therefore I never feel alone because I always have the inspiration.

‘Inspiration grows and I work with people that love to see growth. I’m fortunate to have these people around me.

‘The last tour I got off was with Blink-182. At the end of the day I find myself at the country music awards and doing tours with Blink 182.

‘There’s not a lot of rappers in this position who can say they’ve done that. I stand alone on that mountain.’

The hitmaker wasn’t alone in his aversion to the greasier side of life as plenty of other celebrities chose to ditch the drive-through…
