MTV News | Lil Wayne 'Likes'…

It's been less than a week since Lil Wayne was released from prison, and while the rapper has embarked on a whirlwind of celebrations since then, he hasn't forgotten to thank the fans that stood by him throughout the past year.

On Monday (November 8), the Young Money star posted a video to WeezyThanxYou.com, a blog launched so he could communicate with fans during his eight-month prison stint on Rikers Island. In the clip, he's seen thanking his Facebook fanbase.

What's poppin' to all my Facebook friends? I think there's like 14 million of y'all, Wayne says in the video. Just know that I send 14 million thank-yous to y'all — thanx-yous to y'all.

Lil Wayne went on to express gratitude for all of the support that came his way. I couldn't have did it without you, he said. I won't do it without you.

Wayne shared similar sentiments with MTV News on Sunday in his first public comments since his release.

I just wanna thank everybody, he told us before his welcome-home party in Miami. Not only MTV fans, but the fans across the whole world. Most of all, my family. I couldn't do it without them and I would never do it without them.

In October, during a phone call to MTV's "The Seven," Weezy said he awaited the mail daily and estimated that he had received nearly 1 million letters since the start of his sentence in March.
