How does Lil Wayne make money?

 Dwayne Michael Carter Jr. was born in 1982 in a low-income neighbourhood in New Orleans. He realized he was gifted in music at a tender age. By eight, he had written his first rap song. The following year, Birdman caught wind of his talent and offered him a chance at making it big. However, tragedy struck when Carter, who was 12, shot himself with Birdman's revolver. The incident prompted his mother to disapprove his rapping career. 

Initial success

 At fifteen, he returned to his musical journey by joining a group called Hot Boys, which eventually experienced considerable success. At seventeen, Carter opted to pursue a solo career by releasing his first album, Tha Block is Hot. The album put him on the map, although the two albums he released later did not perform well.
