28 Things U Dont Know About LIL WAYNE by Rapmaestro(m): 8:57pm On Jan 10, 2013
28 THINGS YOU DO
NOT KNOW ABOUT LIL
WAYNE
1. When he was 8, Lil
Wayne formed his first
crew, K.W.A. — Kids
With Attitude. He
signed his first
recording contract when
he was 11 years old, as
part of the rapping duo
“The B.G.’z.”
2. Lil Wayne survived
two shootings. The
first was self-inflicted
— a wound to the
chest when he was
playing with a gun in the
mirror at the age of 12.
The second was from a
disgruntled groupie
refused entry onto his
tour bus in 2001.
3. In 1997, Lil Wayne
joined the hip-hop group
Hot Boys, which
included rappers
Juvenile, B.G.’z
collaborator B.G., and
Turk. Their album,
Guerrilla Warfare,
nabbed the number one
spot on the hip-hop
Billboard chart in 1998.
4. When he was 12, Lil
Wayne played the part
of the Tin Man in a
school production of
The Wiz.
5. Lil Wayne has four
children, Neal, Samuel
Lenox Ari, Dwayne III,
and Reginae. His oldest,
Reginae, was born
when Wayne was just
15 years old.
6. Wayne dropped the
“D” from his name
because, as he told
Katie Couric, “I’m a
junior and my father is
living and he’s not in my
life and he’s never been
in my life. So I don’t
want to be Dwayne, I’d
rather be Wayne.”
7. Wayne is a voracious
sports fan, and has
been blogging off and
on for ESPN since 2008.
He also appeared with
some frequency on
ESPN to pontificate
about football and
basketball. He even has
an ESPN tattoo on his
forearm.
8. Though he’s been
featured on songs by
everyone from T.I. to
Jay-Z to a bizarre
collaboration with
Weezer, Wayne’s all-
time favorite cameo is
in the Destiny’s Child
song “Soldier.”
9. For Lil Wayne’s
birthday last year, his
friend Birdman
presented him with a
cake layered with
diamonds.
10. Lil Wayne started
bowling when he was
16, and still loves to hit
the lanes with one of
his four custom-made
bowling balls.

11. President Barack
Obama has referenced
Wayne a couple times in
speeches. On his
campaign trail, Obama
encouraged kids to stay
is school because “You
are probably not that
good a rapper. Maybe
you are the next Lil
Wayne, but probably
not, in which case you
need to stay in school.”
12. In 2009, Wayne
presented Letterman’s
Top 10 on “Reasons I’m
Looking forward to the
Grammy awards.”
Number 8: “I’m
nominated in the
category of ‘Lillest
Wayne.’”
13. When Weezy was
trying to sell his
apartment in Miami last
year, his real estate
agents were frustrated
by the constant smell
of marijuana and his
refusal to let anyone in
until after he woke up
in the late afternoon.
“He had a perfectly
organized closet of crisp
T-shirts on hangers,
neatly stacked piles of
XXL magazine, and a
fully stocked bar
featuring multiple
bottles of Hennessy
Black,” noted a New
York Post tipster.
14. Wayne uses
marijuana to treat his
migraines — as well as,
presumably, hiccups,
blisters, and everyday
aches and pains. His
most famous addiction
is to purple drank, a
mixture of Hawaiian
Punch and codeine
syrup.
15. Whilst serving out a
year sentence on Rikers
Island for weapons
possession, the rapper
has gotten serious VIP
treatment, like food
brought in from
restaurants by the
guards and things like
headphones and an MP3
player/watch that was
confiscated.
16. Fans started a
website, Weezy Thanx
You, that publishes
letters Wayne writes to
his fans from jail. He
exhaustively thanks
people for their fan mail
— his address in jail is
up on the site — as
well as giving updates
on the hard knock life,
though it doesn’t
exactly sound like Oz.
Sample: “Last night, I
kicked ass in UNO!
Anyway, that’s neither
here nor there. Just
thought I’d let y’all
know. Gotta stay
hydrated.”
17. In the video for “I
am Not a Human Being,”
one of the tracks off
his just-released album,
Lil Wayne shows off
glow-in-the-dark
tattoos. That’s right:
tattoos with blacklight
ink. The stars on his
face and lipstick print on
his neck are permanent,
and permanently
luminescent.
18. Wayne’s whole body
is covered in tattoos.
There’s a Rolls Royce
symbol on his bicep, a
bird for his friend
Birdman, and “M.O.B.,”
which stands for
“Money Over Bitches.”
He also has a smiley
face on his inner lip, a
map of Louisiana on his
back, and “Fear” and
“God” over each of his
eyelids.
19. Wayne’s sentencing
was delayed last year
so that the rapper could
undergo dental surgery.
He had eight root canals
in one sitting, as well as
repairing parts of his
diamond grill.
20. Like any good multi-
millionaire rapper, Lil
Wayne has a ridiculously
expensive mansion.
Check out the vintage
model car collection and
many Goodfellas
posters in his episode
of MTV: Cribs:

21. For his 25th
birthday, Lil Wayne
threw a black and white
party on a yacht,
complete with roulette
tables and pool and, of
course, a cake shaped
like a Rolls Royce
phantom.
22. Wayne’s favorite
rock star is Nirvana’s
Kurt Cobain. As the
rapper said to a Rolling
Stone reporter: “He was
a rebel — he didn’t give
a Bleep. That’s me.”
23. Caltech Ph.D student
Virgil Griffith compiled a
study to see which
musicians were listened
to by college students,
judging “which music
makes you dumb”
based on their SAT
scores. Lil Wayne came
in on the bottom of the
intelligence chart. (But
Counting Crows were
near the top, so take it
with a grain of salt.)
24. In 2008, Lil Wayne
became the first major
hip-hop artist to play at
the Country Music
Awards, performing
with Kid Rock. Weirdly,
he didn’t rap at all —
just played guitar along
with the band.
25. Wayne’s Young
Money crew includes
Drake and rapper Nick
Minaj. Wayne calls Drake
from jail fairly often —
a few times a week. He
has also advised Drake
against getting a
tattoo, telling him:
“Whatever, man,
whatever you do, do
not get no tattoos
never in your life. They
gonna think you got it
because you came
around me.”
26. In April, a female
guard at Rikers was
fired for spending too
much time trying hang
out with Lil Wayne.
27. After Katrina hit his
hometown of New
Orleans, Wayne donated
$300,000 to rebuild the
playground in Harrell
Park that he used as a
child.
28. Though Wayne is
incredibly prolific, he
never writes any of his
verses down, afraid
that they’ll be published
and plundered like Kurt
Cobain’s journals.
