Lil Wayne Hometown

Lil Wayne’s hometown is New Orleans, Louisiana. His early years were spent in poverty, and his mother, who was just 19 when he was born, raised him after his parents divorced when he was two. His father left the family and was never involved in Wayne's life. In an intervie, Wayne explained why he chose to drop the "D" from his name, stating, "I dropped the D because I’m a junior and my father is living and he’s not in my life, and never has been. So I don’t want to be Dwayne, I’d rather be Wayne."
