Story On How Lil Wayne Was Saved By An Off Duty Cop At Age 12
Lil Wayne never would have made it had it not been for big Robert Hoobler. The celebrated New Orleans rapper would have bled to death on the floor of his mother’s Hollygrove apartment the afternoon of Nov. 11, 1994, at just 12 years old, after accidentally shooting himself in the chest while playing with a 9 mm handgun.
Little Dwayne picked up the gun and began horsing around with it in front of a stereo blaring music. At about 1:15 p.m., the boy accidentally fired a bullet through his chest. The slug then shot out the lower left corner of a window. Somehow, it missed every vital organ. But the boy was dying.

Suprised this story didn’t show up sooner.I read it years ago,when Hot Boys was together. Not a hater,I actually like Wayne’s music(minus auto tune).But I did always think it was funny how he would say I got shot when I was 12 as if someone else shot him.

Yo cutta get a condom……wayne is 1 of the greatest rappers of all time……sure u care. Southern rappers r trash lyrically, they just have good beats. Fuck outta here he’s 1 of the best rappers…..the nigga was trash n the hotboyz and is trash dolo. Damb NY should’ve never fell of, cuz now u got retards(makin noise not music) takin ova on some dumb shit.
April 13th, 2009 at 11:53 am
And yeah fuck is wrong with yall? Dude is lucky 2 b alive. Wish death on no1 cuz there ain’t no comin back. Good that he’s alive but his music is still trash…….
April 13th, 2009 at 12:22 pm
So, let me get this straight, if you saying what tha hell is wrong wit people for wishing death on someone you are a di** rider; okay that pretty much lets everyone in tha world know why so many head figures downplay fans and their intelligence. I don’t like Bill O’Reilly no more than tha next man but when he do his research and say stuff like black people hate each other how can we clown him, or hate on him when all tha evidence is right here. We may not like Wayne or his music but damn DEATH to him, really, and you’ve never met him, ever, thats; well there is no definition.
Obviously dude got a special gift and if he was suppose to die he would’ve but God blessed him to be able to live and use his gift, which is to connect with millions of people. I’m sure god would prefer he used his gift in other ways but how is it people who have worse faults feel they have tha right to wish death on another person. Krazyyyy, and don’t say he only connect wit dumb kids cuz that’s ignorant even at them award shows every artist and actor know his lyrics word for word and it ain’t no dumb kids there, so respect it.
April 13th, 2009 at 1:21 pm

Hey cutta its about money….think about it. U can come out with some dumbass hook and a wack ass 16 and still make millions…..look at nelly? And yes if ur out there makin money then yeah niggas is gonna hop on ya dick……look atcha moms she wit me now……say hiiiii. The rap game is trash compared 2 wat it used 2 b. I wasn’t about driving and wearing shit u still payin on or don’t even own. Rap was more deep and was worth listening 2. (Lolly pop?) I can’t hate on these dudes makin money(more power 2′em)but rap/hip hop watever u wanna call it is trash. And that’s 2 all rappers, east west north south……
