About Dwayne Michael Carter, Jr.

American rapper, Dwayne “Lil Wayne” Carter, Jr., has an estimated net worth of $150 million in 2015. A game-changing artist and an impervious celebrity, Lil Wayne began as his career as a near-novelty — a preteen delivering hardcore hip-hop — but through years of maturation and reinventing the mixtape game, he developed into a million-selling rapper with a massive body of work, one so inventive and cunning that it makes his famous claim of being the “best rapper alive” worth considering.

The lyricist reportedly wrote his first song at age 8 and signed a record deal with Cash Money a year later. Two decades later, he’s one of rap’s richests. Jail (he served 8 months in New York’s Riker’s Island on a gun charge) didn’t slow him down. His album I Am Not a Human Being topped the charts shortly after its release, making Wayne the first artist since Tupac Shakur to have a No. 1 album while incarcerated. Born Dwayne Michael Carter, Jr. on September 27, 1982, in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA.

Early Life

Dwayne was born in New Orleans on the 27th September, 1982. His mother was 19 when she had Wayne, and his father abandoned their family when Wayne was only 2 years old.

It’s safe to say that Lil Wayne’s childhood was very, very different to most. He wrote his very first rap song when he was only 8 years old, and accidentally shot himself with a 9mm handgun when he was only 9.

Carter was an honor student at McMain Magnet School, but he dropped out at only 14 to focus on his musical career.

Career

In 1996, Carter joined the Hot Boys along with rappers Juvenile, B.G., and Turk. He was only 15 years old, making him the youngest member of the group at the time.

3 years later, Lil Wayne went solo, and released his debut album ‘The Block is Hot’, which was a major success, reaching platinum certification. He leveraged the album’s success to release a couple of others within the following few years, and put himself on the map.

Since then, Lil Wayne has become a sensation, working with many famous artists, including Drake, Nicki Minaj, DJ Khaled, Eminem and so on. He’s also received a large number of awards for his work and collaborations with others; some of which are listed below.
