Rapper Lil Wayne (aka Dwayne Michael Carter, but don’t call me Dwayne) has listed his South Beach condo for $2,799,000, according to South Beach Condo Blog.
Lil Wayne’s condo has four bedrooms and five and one-half baths plus a den and a private elevator. The three terraces offer views of Miami Beach, Government Cut, Fisher Island, and downtown Miami. Kevin Tomlinson of South Beach Condo Blog says, “The list price is very, very reasonable.” According to public records, Lil Wayne purchased the unit in 2007 for $3.1 million.
Why is Lil Wayne selling? Could be he doesn’t need the space since he’s headed to prison for one year on charges related to a 2007 arrest when a loaded handgun was found on his tour bus after a concert in Manhattan. Remember, New York has super strict gun laws — just ask former NY Giant wide receiver Plaxico Burress.
Lil Wayne was supposed to start his prison sentence in February 9, but was delayed when he recently had eight root canals in an 8-hour dental procedure.
