Lil Wayne is one of the most successful and wealthy rappers in the United States. He literally "rose from scratch." Neither rich parents nor sponsors stood behind his back. Lil has got a classic black guy success story.
The guy started his career in 1999, and he wasn’t even 18 yet at that time. The first single "Tha Block Is Hot" blew up as expected, and the plate under the same title sold a million copies. It was when Wayne's specific rapping plus beats went together perfectly.
Still, some of the songs from this disc were performed together with “The Hot Boys”, a hip hop band. It’s where and with whom Wayne took first steps in music. As in life itself, his career path also had highs and lows.
The musician managed to ruin relations with his record company, go to jail, get free, undergo a serious operation on his teeth, star in a couple of films and release a dozen singles, later included in different albums. However, even the constant failures of the promised deadlines did not make Lil Wayne's fans turn their backs on the idol.

FACTS:
Relationships: Lil Wayne's personal life has always been a great talking point for the American media and TV channels. The rapper regularly has been spotted having affairs with different women. This is evidenced by the fact that Weezy has four children from different mothers.
For a long period of time (since 2020) his name was linked to a plus-size model, Denise Bidot. They have had an on-and-off relationship. So it was or not, now there is no point in talking. In a short but meaningful post on Twitter Lil Wayne hinted at the possible marriage. That was in April 2021 that he and Denise got married. Since that time, nothing of the sort has happened. As they say, happiness loves silence.
