What's Lil Wayne's name

Grammy award winner Lil Wayne was born Dwayne Michael Carter Jr. on September 27, 2023 in New Orleans, Louisiana. Sources suggest that he got his stage name by dropping the "D" from his first name, and adding "Lil" because he is Carter Junior.

To date he has released ten studio albums: Tha Block Is Hot (1999), Lights Out (2000), 500 Degreez (2002), Tha Carter (2004), Tha Carter II (2005), Tha Carter III (2008), Rebirth (2010), I Am Not a Human Being (2010), Tha Carter IV (2011), and I Am Not a Human Being II (2013).

Of interest, Lil Wayne recently lost a multi-million-dollar endorsement deal with Mountain Dew after Emmett Till’s family complained about a lyric he wrote for a remix of rapper Future's Karate Chop. Till was an African-American teenager who was tortured and killed in Mississippi in 1955. Lil Wayne has since apologized to the family.

He still has a sponsorship deal with skating brand Supra and just launched his new SPECTRE sneaker line in Miami. You can buy the "Lil Wayne x Supra Chimera" shoe in stores beginning May 18, 2013.
