WEEZY CLAIM TO FAME


Government Name: Dwayne Michael Carter

Hometown: New Orleans, Louisiana

Fun Fact: When Wayne was 15, his mother Gloria Carter, asked him to find someone to have a baby with so she wouldn’t be bored around the house. He had a daughter with a 14-year-old girl.

Claim to Fame: at the age of 11, Wayne signed to Cash Money Records but was overshadowed by older Cash Money artists like the former member Juvenile. It wasn’t until 2004, when Wayne released his fourth album, and first crossover hit, “Tha Carter” that fans and doubters took notice of his talent, eventually landing him to be called one of the best lyricists in 2006 and 2007.
