The self-professed “Best Rapper Alive” has the chance of becoming the most Grammy-Awarded Rapper Alive.
Nawlins-born MC Lil Wayne nabbed eight nominations, more than any other artist, at the 2009 Grammy Awards live nominations ceremony in Hollywood Wednesday.
Lil Wayne became the subject of an online death rumor after a webpage made to look like the BBC news site claimed the star was shot to death in New Orleans over the weekend.
The “Lollipop” rapper, 26, was allegedly shot six times with a 9mm Smith & Wesson after becoming involved in a fight between members of the Bloods and Crips following a gig in his native New Orleans early Saturday.
