Lil Wayne Reflects on Childhood Suicide Attempt At Age 12
Although he was struck in the chest, the musician revealed that due to his shock, he "didn't feel a thing." Wayne then recalled waking up to the police knocking on his door multiple times and explained he managed to make his way to the door while gravely injured and alerted them by knocking back. According to the rapper, a police officer nicknamed "Uncle Bob" was the one to save his life and he later revealed that the two met up again later in life.
The following year, in 1995, Wayne was signed to Cash Money Records, becoming the youngest rapper on the label. The musician has referenced the incident in his music before, including his lyrics in"And when I attempted suicide, I didn't die," he rapped. "I remember how mad I was on that day, Man, you gotta let it go before it get up in the way. Let it go, let it go."
