Lil Wayne is proof that determination really does matter. In 2004, he released “Go DJ,” which was the biggest hit of his career, at the time. After that, Wayne went on an impressive mixtape run. Affectionately, fans call that the “Mixtape Weezy” era. During that time, Wayne out-rapped ever rapper on their own beat. Wayne proved he could hold his own. After that, he became the highest selling rapper in the game. As a result, reports say Lil Wayne is worth $160 million. However, Wayne says that’s not true.
Lil Wayne played many roles over the course of his career. When he began, Wayne was the youngest member of Hot Boyz. The crew consisted of Juvenile, B.G., and Turk. Clearly, Juvenile was the star of that show. Not only was Juvenile the face of the Hot Boyz, but he was also the face of Cash Money Records. After that, B.G. was next up. To that end, B.G. released the single, “Bling Bling,” which birthed the phrase that has dominated American culture, when discussing jewelry.
Lil Wayne went from being the youngest in the crew to the face of hip hop. By the time it was all said and done, Wayne was being compared to Tupac, Jay-Z, and Nas. Many tried to draw parallels between Wayne and Jay-Z. However, when it comes to the money, Wayne himself cleared the air. There are reports that say he is worth $160 million. During an interview with The Nine Club, Lil Wayne said his net worth is nowhere near that, as in far lower.
