1 albums, 138 Billboard Hot 100 appearances - the third-most of any artist - and 17.2 million albums sold in the United States, according to Nielsen Music. Cash Money, founded by brothers Bryan “Birdman” Williams and Ronald “Slim” Williams, remained Wayne’s home as he grew into a global superstar with three No. He has been famous more than half his life - this fall, he’ll turn 36, but his recording career is already old enough to drink, Wayne having risen to fame as one-fourth of the Hot Boys on Cash Money Records when he was barely a teenager. Wayne can perhaps be forgiven for the lack of wedding etiquette his life has never known convention. She’s going to be speaking for somebody some day.” “But his daughter had a speech, the bride’s mom had a speech, his mom had a speech, and all three of them was awesome. “Everybody was like, ‘You got a speech?’ I didn’t know I was supposed to have one!” he says, laughing as he sparks a Backwoods blunt. Wayne was the best man at the wedding - though he showed up slightly unprepared.īest man Wayne helped groom 2 Chainz prepare for his wedding ceremony in August, joined by 2 Chainz’s son Halo and friend Goat (right).
Chainz, who goes back 15 years with Wayne, is part of a tight inner circle that includes Swizz Beatz, DJ Khaled and Wayne’s longtime right-hand man Mack Maine, who grew up with Wayne and serves as president of his label imprint Young Money Entertainment. Three days earlier, Wayne was across the Biscayne Bay at the Versace Mansion on Ocean Drive, his full suit and bow tie accented by the same green Vans, as 2 Chainz married longtime girlfriend Kesha Ward. Which is just fine with the low-key Lil Wayne, who is seated on a leather couch in the second-floor recording studio, wearing shorts and a T-shirt, a Thrasher hat over his scattered blond dreads and white socks pulled up high over lime green Vans classics.
