LIL WAYNE KNOCKOUT GUITAR COVER TV
The first is taken up almost entirely by a couch, a coffee table and a gargantuan flat-screen TV the second is an equally modest recording space. Inside, two small upstairs rooms house Lil Wayne’s label, Young Money Entertainment.

He celebrated by opening a skate park in New Orleans.
