With rap's edgy nature, it's rare for a child rapper to become successful but there have been a few who've made it, Lil Wayne being one of them. At the age of 14, he became a member of the New Orleans rap group Hot Boys with members Juvenile, B.G. and Turk. On a 2015 interview with ESPNU's Power Hour, Wayne said that his first check was for $6,500, but instead of buying something age-appropriate like a bicycle, he went for a faster means of transportation.
The Tha Carter V creator said he took that money and "went straight to Nissan and bought a Pathfinder." The purchase doesn't seem strange at first glance, right? Well, remember: Wanye bought the car two years before he was legally able to drive it. Heck, he wasn't even allowed to participate in his home state's driver education course in Louisiana, because in 1996 one had to be at least 15 years old to enroll.
The Southern-raised wordsmith mentioned that Nissan in his song "Russian Roulette," off his Funeral (Deluxe) album, released on Jan. 31, 2020. "I was servin' it, like Anna Kournikova/From a Nissan Pathfinder, now I have to find a chauffeur," he rapped. Seems like a nice problem to have, doesn't it?
