Lil Wayne is widely regarded as one of the biggest names in the hip-hop world, having created a plethora of classic tracks over the years. He has a deep passion for tattoos, and his body is a testament to his love for ink. However, despite his success, Lil Wayne has had a difficult life, even attempting suicide during his childhood. Given his prominence in the industry, it is not uncommon for him to be compared to emerging new rappers. That being said, it seems the rapper is now a playable character in NBA 2K23.
