Early life
Dwayne Michael Carter Jr. was born on September 27, 1982, in the impoverished Hollygrove neighborhood of Uptown New Orleans, Louisiana's 17th Ward, where he spent his early years. He was born to his mother, a chef when she was 19 years old. When he was two years old, his parents split, and his father abandoned the family for good.
Carter stated to CBS journalist Katie Couric why he went by the name Wayne instead of his real name "Because I'm a junior and my father lives, I dropped the D. He's not in my life and has never been in my life. So, instead of being Dwayne, I'd rather be Wayne ". "He knows now," Carter said when asked if his father was aware of the situation. Carter has stated that his late stepfather Reginald "Rabbit" McDonald is his biological father. Carter has a tattoo of McDonald on his arm.
Carter was enrolled in Lafayette Elementary School's talented program. He went on to Eleanor McMain Secondary School for two years, where he was an honor student and a member of the theater club, and where he played the Tin Man in the school's production of The Wiz. Carter dropped out of Marion Abramson Senior High School at the age of 14 to focus on his musical career.
Carter wrote his first rap song when he was eight years old.
Carter met rapper and Cash Money Records co-founder Bryan "Baby" Williams (now known as Birdman) in the summer of 1991, who mentored and encouraged him in his love of hip-hop. Birdman featured Carter on several Cash Money tracks, and Carter would frequently record freestyle raps on Williams' answering machine.
Carter had a near-fatal self-inflicted gunshot wound to the chest when he was 12 years old, in 1994. He said the injury was unintentional at the time. Carter claimed it was an attempted suicide decades later after his mother told him he had to quit his rap-related associations. Carter attributes his life to off-duty police officer Robert Hoobler, whom he refers to as "Uncle Bob," who insisted on driving the dying boy to the hospital in a police car rather than waiting for an ambulance. According to some versions, multiple officers were involved in deciding on and carrying out that plan.
