Lil Wayne Turns 32 — Happy Birthday To The Founder Of Young Money

Lil Wayne is the rapper that President Obama uses as an example of the height of success in rap music, and who can blame him? Lil Wayne turns just 32 on September 27, and he has built a veritable empire for himself, with artists like Drake and Nicki Minaj thanking him for their success.

So, let’s take a look at Wayne’s year!

Lil Wayne is having a pretty good year — like most years. His highly anticipated Tha Carter IV is set to release October 28, and the first three singles were released to huge acclaim. The video for “Grindin ,” featuring Drake, was actually
released a few days ago. (And it’s amazing, obviously.)

Wayne received a ton of love at the BET Awards — Young Money received the award for Best Group , and nearly the entire label went up to accept the award. Nicki and Drake were also big winners that evening, and Wayne joined Chris Brown and Tyga onstage to perform smash hit “Loyal.” (Even though Drake shaded the song on his joint tour with Wayne, saying it sounds like a “car commercial .” Iol).

The Drake vs Lil Wayne Tour is more a bromance than a battle, but in the best way. Audiences across America are loving their battles and their banter, and each night offers something new and exciting. The tour has just about wrapped — the last date is actually on Wayne’s birthday, in Texas — and they’re set to make a ton of money from it. After all, the tickets cost more than Beyonce and Jay Z On The Run Tour ! I mean, we guess that Wayne and Drake are basically married, but… (Kidding! Just kidding).

Anyways we at Abel's blog wish the star a happy birthday and we promise to update you guys on the outcome of the birthday.
