Though Wayne has noted that his straight edge lifestyle has made recording more difficult, he appears to have finally come to terms with his court-enforced sobriety, revealing that it's a "great feeling" during a recent interview at the Providence, R.I. stop on his I Am Still Music tour.
"It's a big difference. I almost jumped in the crowd," the '6 Foot 7 Foot' rhymer told MTV. "I'm sober, I'm sweating. I'm tasting my sweat. My sweat taste different. My sweat used to taste like weed. But now it's just, I'm like I don't know what it is ... I'm out there, my eyes big, my eyes all wide. I had threw my glasses, I don't even need these. I could see everything right now. But yeah man, it's a great feeling."
Wayne's not the only one noticing the positive change. Tour mate and fellow Young Money member Nicki Minaj recently remarked that her boss is a "joy to be around" now that he's clean. "He's nicer. He's more calm," Nicki said. "I guess when you're not getting high you have to deal with reality and I think he likes his reality now ... The couple (of) times I've seen him, it's just a joy to be around. He's easier to get along with and easier to talk to, I feel, now."
Wayne and Nicki are currently midway through their sold out 24-city I Am Still Music Tour with Rick Ross and Travis Barker, whose next date is in Greensboro, N.C. on April 8.
