Lil’ Wayne | Self-Inflicted Gunshot Wound

50 Cent claims to have been shot nine times, point-blank, and lived to rap about it. If it’s true, that’s badass. What Lil’ Wayne did was also badass … and incredibly stupid. It was report-card day in 1994, and 12-year-old Dwayne Carter (that’s Lil’ Wayne’s real name, if you’re confused) cut school early to do typical adolescent boy stuff, like clown around with a 9mm handgun that was left in his house. Predictably, the gun went off and fired a bullet through his chest. Although it missed his vital organs, he was still bleeding out, but young Weezy mustered the strength to call 911. He of course managed to survive, and his chest wound is barely visible thanks to all the ink.
