Lil Wayne has written an unofficial sequel to Eminem's 'Stan', which was released in 2000.

The 'Lollipop' star raps a letter to his number one fan in Dear Anne, much like Stan does to Eminem in his version. The track was produced by Swizz Beats and includes a sample from Russian pop duo t.A.T.u's '30 Seconds'.

The song features Wayne thanking his fan for her support - the opposite to the subject of Eminem's rendition, in which a fan commits suicide due to his obsession with him.

Lyrics in the rap include: "Dear Anne, my number one fan/ I write with the lights on the mantle of my night stand/ With a pen in my right hand and that's also my mic hand/ Codeine in the sprite can ink on my white pad."

The track will not feature on the hip-hop star's upcoming album Tha Carter IV, which has been pushed back to an August 29 release.
