Rapper Lil Wayne's baby boy, Dwayne Carter III, was born this afternoon at the Christ Hospital in Cincinnati, says UsMagazine.com. No word on the mother.
Update: USA TODAY's Steve Jones reports that Lil Wayne's personal milestone in the birth of his first son caps off a record-breaking year for the performer. Despite rumors and leaked pictures, Wayne has not confirmed the identity of the child’s mother. The extensive attention to the New Orleans star’s personal life began this past Saturday, when Wayne revealed during the BET Awards he was expecting his second child. After beating out stiff competition from the likes of Nas and Lupe Fiasco for "Lyricist of the Year," Wayne requested during his acceptance speech that everyone pray for a safe delivery. "I got a son about to be born any day now, so shout-out to him," he revealed. "Pray for me." In addition, Wayne later took home the network’s MVP of the Year award, besting DJ Khaled, Jay-Z, T.I., and Kanye West.
