15 Shocking Facts Lil’ Wayne Doesn’t Want You To Know by kayjay007(m): 11:16am On Oct 12, 2017
When it comes to Wheezy F. Baby, you either love him or hate him. Whichever is true for you one thing is for certain, you can’t escape his fandom. Dwayne Michael Carter, Jr. otherwise known as Lil’ Wayne was born September 27, 1982 and his debut record was Tha Block Is Hot (1999). Enjoy these 7 shocking facts that Lil’ Wayne would rather you not know, and choose to love him or hate him.
1. His Mama’s a Little Crazy
At 15, Lil’ Wayne was on tour with Cash Money. Citing that she was lonely without him, she encouraged him to have a daughter – at 15.
His high school sweetheart Antonia “Toya” Carter gave birth to his daughter Reginae when he was only 15 years old.
Reginae, Dwayne III, Cameron Carter and Neal are the names of his children, bringing the total count to the number four. We are hoping that they will continue their fathers successful rapping career.

2. He was never a Drug Dealer
We aren’t sure why selling drugs on the side of the road is so glamorized, but despite rapping endlessly about selling drugs, he says the only ones he’s ever seen are the ones he wanted to sniff or smoke. Classy.
He has been arrested on several occasions because of drug possession, although most of the charges were dropped. His statement about sniffing and smoking turned out to be true, as only cocaine and marijuana were found on those occasions.
He did do a year in Rikers (prison) when he pleaded guilty to attempted criminal possession of a weapon

3. He Recycles Verse
Diehard Lil’ Wayne fans who were a little too young to remember classic verses swear he came up with them, but often times Wayne slips in rhymes from other artists, like Jay Z, when he’s on stage.
This is somewhat strange, especially when you consider the fact that Lil’ Wayne wrote his first rap song at the age of eight.
Actually, as you all probably know, his whole career was built in those early years, while other rappers were struggling financially and otherwise, he was writing songs and bettering himself.

4.He was a Straight A Student
It’s funny how guys these days don’t want to be known as smart; instead out back smoking a blunt and beating up anyone who looks at them sideways is the go-to image.
But the truth is, before the tear drops and the cough syrup he was a real brain.
Unfortunately, at the age of fourteen, he had to drop out of McMain Magnet School due to the overwhelming business obligations and to focus more on his musical career.

5.He Can’t Freestyle
Remember that Tim Westwood “freestyle”?Exactly. In Weezy’s defense he did look like he might have been coming off a frat house bender.
His whole career actually started with a freestyle. He called Bryan Williams, rapper and owner of Cash Money Records and left a “freestyle” message on his answering machine, which later led to his signing.
6. He’s Dead… Again
Ok not really, but he is a main stay in the internet death hoaxes quite often. If on the chance Lil’ Wayne ever really does bite the big one, he will appear to all of us on a skateboard with an electric guitar to let us know this shit is really happening.
The problem is the media, hungry for those juicy headlines they label someone as dead at first whiff of health problems…

7. He’s ParanoidWayne refuses to write anything down out of the fear that his journals will be taken and published like his favorite rock star of all time Kurt Cobain.
We are just wondering what would be harm in that?
8. Started Rapping When He Was 8
Lil Wayne wrote his first song at the age of eight, showing talent really early in his life. One year later, he contacted Cash Money Records and its owner Bryan Williams, who helped him immensely in the beginning of his career.
He called Bryan and left a message on his answering machine, and nothing would be strange about that if the message wasn’t his song! Yes, he started working with Cash Money Records after Bryan heard him rap in a message left on his answering machine…
9. Was Involved In A Shooting When He Was Only 12
While true, this title may be a bit misleading.
After playing with a handgun, Lil Wayne accidentally shot himself back in 1994. He sustained no serious injuries.
Hope this cautionary tale will convince you to take better care of your personal firearm, especially if you have small children…

10. He Has Serious Health Problems
As you might have read earlier, he was declared dead a couple of times due to his seizures.
Suffering from epilepsy, Lil’ Wayne has stated several times that he has seizures, just like any other person who has the same health problems.
The thing that might have contributed to the severity of his health problems is the famous purple drink, high in codeine, which is rumored to be the source of the problem.
11. Lil Wayne And Obama
While these two are seemingly worlds apart, Obama has made several comments that included Lil Wayne:
1. “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.”
2. “They might think they’ve got a pretty jump shot or a pretty good flow, but our kids can’t all aspire to be LeBron or Lil Wayne.”

12. Feuds that are not feuds
Nowadays it seems easier than ever to get into feuds with other people. It’s enough to make a hasty remark on Twitter or Facebook, but dissing via lyrics isn’t dead just yet.
Both Young Buck and Pusha T have been dissing Lil Wayne for quite some time, but all this was later sorted out. He even made a song with YoungBuck.
Jay Z and Kanye West indirectly clipped him with their song “H•A•M”, but after his response (It’s Good”) everything was toned down…

13. Acting Career
With four movies under his belt, Lil Wayne is off to a good start. He shot his first movie Baller Blockin’ back in 2000, with a classical gangsta setup.
Followed by a much more serious movie Who’s Your Caddy? and Hurricane Season, later in 2010 his acting career came to a sudden stop with the rise of his music talent.
Of course, when we are talking about his movies, we cannot forget The Carter, documentary movie about his life that you should check out.

14.Religion And Philanthropy
Although cash and money do not go well with religion, Lil Wayne identifies himself as Roman Catholic who reads the bible regularly.
One Family Foundation is the name of his non-profit organization. It was designed to help the urban youth and steer their energy into creative and educational enterprises.
Keep up the good work Wayne!

15. Retirement
While we cannot imagine him migrating to Florida, it is true that he’s musical career is slowly approaching the end.
Lil Wayne stated that he would retire at the age of 35, due to his family obligations and desire to dedicate himself to other creative outlets…
