In a Grammy preview special with Katie Couric, Lil Wayne talked about the lack of contact he has with his biological father.
Couric asks the rapper why he dropped the “D” from his real name and probably got more than she bargained for with the response.
“I dropped the D because I’m a Jr.,” Wayne explained to the CBS anchor. “My father is living and he’s not in my life. He’s never been in my life. I don’t want to be ‘Dwayne’, I’d rather be ‘Wayne’.”
Couric then asked Wayne if his father knows that.
“He knows now.”
