Lil Wayne - Baseball Cap

Arguably one of the most famous rap artists in the music industry today is New Orleans native Dwayne Michael Carter or Lil Wayne. This Grammy Award winning artist is under the Cash Money Records label and is a former member of the group called Hot Boys. “Get It How U Live!” was the first album that Lil Wayne recorded with the Hot Boys and was released in 1997. His solo album,”Tha Block Is Hot” came out in 1999. Lil Wayne started gaining real fame after creating a few more albums during the early 2000’s. He then escalated to even higher levels of popularity from 2004 to the present with a series of albums and songs that met with great success.

While dominating the music industry, he decided to dip his hands into the world of fashion by announcing his Foreign Money and Double U apparel brands. Foreign Money is the name of the men’s line, described as an extension of Lil Wayne’s personal style, a combination of street wear and rock star fashion. Foreign Money is overseen by both Lil Wayne and his designers in order to provide clothes that will reflect current and trendy men’s fashions. Double U, Wayne’s women’s line, is expected to have a substantial amount of the financial backing for the project.

Lil Wayne - Big III

Unofficial sources have also stated that Lil Wayne’s inspiration to create a fashion brand may have originated from other celebrities that have had success in their clothing endeavors. Nelly, another very popular and successful rapper, could have been an influential source that compelled Lil Wayne to enter the world of fashion. Nelly himself sought to maintain his relevance in the Hip Hop world and music business by releasing his own brands named Vokal and Apple Bottoms. The Apple Bottoms brand met with particular success and was very popular among women for helping them to show off their sexy curves. If Lil Wayne can find success in this industry like so many of his peers, then it will be another stepping stone for this extraordinary artist.
