The youngster was placed in his elementary school’s gifted programmed, and he also became a member of the theatrical club. Carter wrote his first rap song at the age of eight, and a year later he caught the notice of Bryan Williams, better known as “Birdman.” Williams was Lil Wayne’s first chance at stardom as the owner of Cash Money Records. Carter placed freestyle messages on Birdman’s answering machine, which persuaded Williams to give the kid a chance. Following his appearances in a number of Cash Money Label songs, it was evident that Lil Wayne’s future career will be focused on music. Carter was 12 years old when tragedy struck. An off-duty police officer drove him to the hospital for a life-threatening wound after he shot himself in the chest with a 9mm pistol. He has recently confessed that he attempted suicide as a result of his mother’s opposition to his rapping career.
