He was born Dwayne Michael Carter, Jr. and grew up in the Hollygrove neighborhood of New Orleans, Louisiana.[2] Dwayne was in the gifted program at Lafayette Elementary School, and was in the drama club in middle school.[3] At age eleven, he met Bryan Williams, rapper and owner of Cash Money Records. Wayne recorded freestyle raps on Williams` answering machine; Williams would eventually mentor the young Wayne and include him in Cash Money-distributed songs.[4] He dropped out of school at age 14, but then later gained his credits.[3] That same year, Wayne accidentally shot himself in the chest with a .44-caliber and was in critical condition but recovered.[5] Wayne had a daughter named Reginae Carter with Antonia "Toya" Johnson, his high school sweetheart. They got married on Valentines Day of 2004, the two would later divorced in 2006.[6]

In an interview with Blender, Wayne revealed that one of his favorite bands growing up was Nirvana, including their song "Smells Like Teen Spirit".
