1. Lil Wayne First Used To Be Known As  Shrimp Daddy

His initial rap name was inspired by New Orleans bounce rapper Pimp Daddy, who had a hit single called ‘Gots Ta Be Real’ in the early-to-mid ’90s.

2. Lil Wayne Met With Birdman on Fri., May 13, 1993

Picture this: it’s the year 2000, and Lil’ Slim, a Cash Money artist, stumbles upon a young Lil Wayne who’s only nine years old. Slim is so impressed by the little guy’s talent that he promises to get him a record deal with Cash Money. But hold your horses, because Wayne is not about to jump on board that train just yet. It takes an autograph session and some on-the-spot spitting for Birdman and Slim to convince Weezy to give it a shot.

But wait, there’s more! Some sources say that Lil Wayne was actually leaving a trail of freestyles on Baby’s answering machine, showing off his skills until Cash Money couldn’t ignore him anymore. And yet, despite all the rumors, Wayne has never actually confirmed this version of events. In fact, in a video interview, he explains how he used to call Cash Money all the time after meeting Baby at the autograph session.

So, which story is true? Only Lil Wayne knows for sure. But hey, no matter how it went down, we can all agree that it was destiny for Lil Wayne to become the rap legend that he is today.

3. He Released His First Album When He Was Just 11 years old.

4. Wayne Also Started Carrying A Gun When He Was 11 Years old.

It was a .32 Derringer, and the bullets cost a quarter each.

5. Wayne was about to join Boyz N Da Hood in 2005.

Back in 2005, there was a juicy rumor circulating that Lil Wayne was going to replace Young Jeezy in a group that would also include T.I. Weezy even described it as a “Southern Wu-Tang” in an interview with Vibe magazine. But alas, the plan fell through when Jeezy left and T.I. decided not to join, and the supergroup never came to be.

6. Lil Wayne recorded 597 guest features between 1997 and 2012.
