The real name of the artist is Duane Michael Carter Jr. The future idol Millions was born on September 27, 1982 in the Holly Hrove area, which is in New Orleans. Mother Duin at that time was almost 19 years old, the girl worked as a kitchen. Two years later, the father of the boy, Duane Carter-senior, left the family, leaving the former beloved with a small son in his arms and practically without livelihood.
This act forever predetermined Duin's attitude to him: rapper at the first opportunity changed his own name, not wanting to be in anything like this person. After removing the first letter, the young man got the name Wayne, under which he became famous.
From early childhood, Wayne has paid attention to teachers, on the one hand, giftedness and artistry, with another - disgusting behavior and permanent pranks. Already in the elementary class, the boy began writing poetry. In addition, Wayne participated in all school performances and even engaged in the theater circle.
In 1991, Wayne got acquainted with Brian Williams, who later became famous under the pseudonym Birdman. He drew attention to a talented boy and already in 1995 helped write the first album. This record is 11-year-old Wayne prepared in a duet with another adolescent - the 14-year-old Christopher Dorsey, known as B. G.
The first success was so inspired by Wayne Carter that after a couple of years, the young man left the school to devote all the time and efforts of a musical career.
Music
The beginning of a serious creative work Wayne Carter can be considered the album "Get it HOW U Live", recorded with Terius Gray and Tab Major. The team was called "Hot Boys" and instantly gained popularity among music lovers in the style of rap. In 1999, the "hot guys" pleased the public with the second plate, called "Guerilla Warfare".
The first independent creation of Carter is considered to be the album "The Block Is Hot", although part of the songs from this plate was also executed along with the "Hot Boys" group. The album exceeded the previous plates of Wayne, receiving the status of the platinum in the first week of sales. In addition, he brought the coward a nomination for the title of the best new artist.
The year 2000 was marked for the musician by the appearance of the second solo album called "Lights Out". This plate was inferior in popularity of the previous one, however, the title of "golden" according to many musical channels and publications was awarded. And two years later, Lily Wayne presented to the public to the public the third plate - "500 degrees", which, unfortunately, did not discharge the love of listeners.
However, the plates from the "The Carter" series became the most important in the creative biography of Lil Wayne. Their special atmosphericness, the unique manner of the Carter Rechitative and the constant quality of the record gave the musician of fans all over the world.
The first album from this collection - "The Carter" - came out in 2004. According to the estimates of some media, the plate was separated by more than a million copies, and these are just legal copies. The months of the first lines of all sorts of charts and charts raised the popularity of Lil Wayne to a new height.
Deciding to rust iron, while hot, in the early 2005 Lil Wayne releases the record "The Carter II", the title composition from which for a long time sounded everywhere in the United States. The album itself went to three hundred copies, without reaching the success of the previous one. I did not forget the musician and about other projects: In 2006, Carter released a joint record with Berdmen, which Rapers called "Like Father, Like Son".
But with the third album from the "The Carter" series there were problems. Shortly before the announced release, several compositions were merged into the network. Lil Wayne declared fans that she was postponing the outlet of the plate, and published songs would be released in a separate album, adding them four more tracks.
As a result, "The Carter III" appeared only in 2008. It is noteworthy that the scandal with the songs laid out on the Internet began to benefit the record: on the first week, this album bought over a million people. Subsequently, the album became three times platinum and even broke the record of the executor 50 CENT with his plate "The Masscare", previously wearing the "title" of the most commercially successful RAP style album.
The next album from this series came out in 2011. The fact is that the recording of the tracks and the release itself was constantly postponed that due to the state of the health of the artist, then because of his constant problems with the law.
Further plates of Lil Wayne also turned out to be "problem": the musician managed to ruin the relationship with his recording company, please go to prison, free to move a serious operation on the teeth, to play in a pair of films and release a dozen singles, later included in different albums. However, even the permanent breakdowns of the promised deadlines did not forced the fans of Lil Wayn to turn away from the idol.

The personal life of Rapper was no less violent than the musical career. The first wife of the musician was the school friend named Antoni Johnson. The woman gave Lil Wayne the first daughter. The girl called Regina. Unfortunately, this marriage collapsed in 2006.
Two years later, in 2008, the man had a son Dwayin. Mother of the kid became a new beloved Lil Wayne - Sarah Vivan. However, with this girl, Carter did not stay for a long time. The next chief of Rapper became beautiful model Lauren London, who gave the musician of Cameron's son. In the same 2009, the fourth child Lil Wayne appeared on the world - the boy Neil, whose mother was the singer Niva.
In 2014, fans learned about the new Roman Lil Wayne. This time the passion of the charismatic musician (by the way, the growth of the Carter - 1.65 m) was the popular singer and actress Christina Milian. But this girl failed to take possession of the heart of Rapper for a long time. Already a year later, the couple declared a break.
