LIL WAYNE

Event Info

Lil Wayne rewrote the entire game in his image. The five-time GRAMMY® Award-winning multiplatinum rap icon, Young Money Entertainment founder, acclaimed author, pro skater, philanthropist, and history-making superstar left an indelible tattoo on the culture. By 2020, he cemented his legacy forever as “one of the best-selling artists of all time,” tallying sales in excess of 100 million records worldwide with 25 million albums and 90 million digital tracks sold in the United States alone. In 2022, Wayne earned his first Diamond certification from the RIAA with his generational smash hit “Lollipop” feat. Static Major. Not to mention, he garnered 11 BET Awards, four Billboard Music Awards, two MTV VMAs, and eight NAACP Image Awards. Among many milestones, he emerged as “the first male artist to surpass Elvis Presley with the most entries on the Billboard Hot 100,” logging a staggering 186 entries – the 4th most of all time. 

With a discography highlighted by five career-spanning #1 debuts beginning with 2008’s 8x-platinum, 3x GRAMMY® Award-winning opus Tha Carter III and its 5x-platinum 2011 successor Tha Carter IV, he continued the iconic series with Tha Carter V in 2018. The album not only clinched #1 on the Billboard 200, but also achieved “the second-largest streaming week for an album in history.” Every song on the tracklisting charted on the Billboard Hot 100, as he became “the first artist to debut two songs in the top 5.” The momentum carried into his thirteenth full-length album, Funeral, released the following year. In 2025, he returned with Tha Carter VI, which debuted at #2 on the Billboard 200. Simultaneously, Wayne owns and operates Young Money Entertainment as CEO—the label that ignited the careers of two of the most successful artists of all time, Drake and Nicki Minaj. A committed philanthropist, he also founded The One Family Foundation.
