Why is Lil' Wayne called Weezy?

Answer 1

The real name of the rapper known as "Weezy" is Dwayne Micheal Carter, Jr.

"Weezy" derives from the name Lil' Wayne, because Wayne starts with W, so it sort of goes together.

------------

Another possibility is that he is called "Weezy" not only because it begins with W (just like his real name - he calls himself "Wayne", even though his birth name is "Dwayne"), but because of his distinctive voice, which has a "wheezing" style to it -- a trait that has distinguished him from other rappers, leading to his success. Some say that this nickname was given to him by his friends, and some say that it was based on the character named "Wheezy" from the movie Toy Story.

------------

Some people think he is called "Weezy" because smoking marijuana (commonly called "weed") makes a person wheeze.

Lil' Wayne is called "Weezy" because he is from the state of Louisiana.

Supposedly, if you slow it down and say it with a little slang, it is "Lil-Weezy-ana".

Of course, it may a combination of all of the above, so all of the above ideas may be correct -- while still being partially wrong.
