    A game-changing artist and an impervious celebrity, Lil Wayne began as his career as a near-novelty — a preteen delivering hardcore hip-hop — but through years of maturation and reinventing the mixtape game, he developed into a million-selling rapper with a massive body of work, one so inventive and cunning that it makes his famous claim of being the “best rapper alive” worth considering. Born Dwayne Michael Carter, Jr. and raised in the infamous New Orleans neighborhood of Hollygrove, he was a straight-A student but never felt his true intelligence was expressed through any kind of report card. He found music was the best way to express himself, and after taking the name Gangsta D he began writing rhymes. Combining a strong work ethic with aggressive…

He has overcome poverty after growing up on the hard streets of Harlem New York to become one of the biggest names of today’s celebrities.

Diddy has come a long way in his life and now is very successful in the music, television, and fashion industries.

    I was never the type of person to run away from home and definitely not the person who would be seen at a shady place. When Lil J was running from the cops and looking for a place to hide out, he chooses an abandoned building. As soon as he walked into the building, I could smell trouble. He expected to encounter dope heads, nomadic people and juiceheads. And other people running away to solve their problems like being broke sick as well. I thought he was going to run into a cop investigating the building because there were police officers outside on the streets. At this time, I knew he was going to get caught because no one gets away…
