Dwayne Michael Carter Jr. was born on September 27, 1982 in New Orleans, Louisiana to Jacida "Cita" Carter and Dwayne Michael Turner. Turner abandoned the family soon after the birth. Jacida later became involved with Reginald "Rabbit" McDonald who moved the family from the Hollygrove neighborhood of New Orleans' 17th Ward to East New Orleans. It was around the time of the move that Dwayne Carter began to get more deeply involved in rap music.
Wayne's first contact with hip-hop was listening to local Cash Money Records artists like Pimp Daddy and U.N.L.V., whom he would later credit as his earliest influences. Wayne began rapping at block parties as a child. His performance at one of the parties caught the ear of Lil Slim, a Cash Money rapper from the neighborhood, who gave Lil Wayne his phone number. He went to an autograph-signing session with Lil Slim, and there met Cash Money Records owners, "Baby" and "Slim" Williams. His freestyling abilities impressed the Williams brothers, but they were initially reluctant to sign him. Eleven-year-old Wayne started to record freestyles on Baby's answering machine and would frequently visit Cash Money offices. When Baby saw so much engagement in the young rapper, he signed him. Wayne later was hooked up with another newcomer, Lil' Doogie (who would later become famous as B.G.), to form The B.G.'z. The group released their first and only album, True Story, in 1995.
A year after his move to East New Orleans, Carter accidentally shot himself in the chest with McDonald's .44 Magnum, he would subsequently be on life support for two weeks. A year later Jacinda would demand Carter stay away from Brian "Baby" Williams, having gone to school with his older brother Ronald "Slim" Williams, both founders of Cash Money Records. The separation would only last a year, as Carter returned to Cash Money after the death of Reginald McDonald on March 7, 1997.
In 1997, Wayne formed the Hot Boys along with Juvenile, Turk, and B.G., and they released their seminal debut CD Get It How You Live. The record's success earned fans throughout the South and Midwest. He further distinguished himself on the Hot Boys' multi platinum-selling Universal debut, Guerrilla Warfare, which was released in 1998 and was followed by their 2003 release, Let Em Burn.
At the age of 16, Wayne had a daughter named Reginae Carter with Antonia "Toya", his high school sweetheart. The two later divorced.
As of 2008 and between the age of 17 and 26 Lil' Wayne has release 6 solo-albums. 2007 has undoubtedly been Lil' Wayne's most successful year. Highly regarded by many as the epitome of the commercially successful rapper, in late 2007 a Jay-Z on a transition into management implied that Lil' Wayne would be the rapper who would carry the torch, but would not exclude Kanye West and some others from the running.
In 2005 Lil' Wayne enrolled at the University of Houston in Houston, Texas, where he majored in political science. According to the Cash Money Records website, Lil' Wayne is still attending the university but has since switched his major to psychology.
It has been confirmed that Lil' Wayne was engaged with "Superhead" but they decided to not go through with the wedding. As of 2008, Lil' Wayne is rumored to be engaged with Lauren London.
