Rapper Lil Wayne is one of the most experienced musicians in the industry right now.

Here, jeffawalamusic.blogspot.com presents 10 things you didn’t know about Lil Wayne.

Number One: He Had an STD

Lil Wayne once had crabs! Unsurprisingly, he said it was “the worst.”

Number Two: His Mom Encouraged Him

Though Lil Wayne’s mom has encouraged him in many ways, there is one way in particular that is a little more interesting than the others. His mom actually wanted him to have a daughter when he was 15 because she got lonely while he was on tour with Cash Money.

Number Three: His First Album Contains Very Few Expletives

You might be aware of the fact that Lil Wayne’s first album contains very few expletives, but do you know why? Apparently, this album is relatively clean because his mother didn’t want his first album to contain too many curses.

Number Four: He Was Engaged

Lil Wayne has been engaged several times. He was engaged to both Lauren London and Nivea. However, he ended up marrying Toya. They later divorced. Even crazier – Trina was pregnant with Lil Wayne’s child, but she miscarried.

Number Five: He Shares a Name With His Father

But you might not ever know that! Wayne was born with the name Dwayne, but he changed it to Wayne. He did this in an effort to dissociate himself from his father. His father is also named Dwayne.

Number Six: His Favorite Band Is…

Nirvana! Clearly, Lil Wayne has tastes that span all sorts of genres.

Number Seven: His Grill Is Much More Than Just a Grill

According to an interview Lil Wayne did with the women on The View, his grill is more than a flashy accessory. It apparently doubles as braces!

Number Eight: There Is A Reason He Dropped Out of School

Though Lil Wayne dropped out when he was only 14 years old, it wasn’t because he was too immature to handle it. According to him, his mom made him drop out because he put a gun in his backpack, and she saw it.

Number Nine: He Never Completed School

In fact, he dropped out when he was just 14 years old! Looks like an education isn’t completely necessary to achieve success (but don’t tell your kids).

Number Ten: He Likes Destiny Child

According to Lil Wayne, his favorite guest verse that he’s performed is on Destiny Child’s “Soldier.” Not even Wayne can deny Beyonce’s power!
