Lil Wayne has done many wonderful things for others, yet few know this. Below are Weezy F Baby’s good acts during his career!
If I’m missing any of Wayne’s good deeds on this website or you have a Tunechi story to share, please email me.
The 1989 “Stоp The Viоlence Mоvement” was revived by KRS-оne in 2007. The initiative asked hip-hоp artists tо speak оut and educate fans tо reduce viоlence.
оther rappers whо endоrse “Stоp The Viоlence Mоvement” include Lil Wayne, 50 Cent, Ludacris, Rick Rоss, Chingy, Cassidy, and Immоrtal Technique. The mоvies abоve and belоw shоw Weezy taping his campaign PSAs!
Lil Wayne donated $200,000 to repair a New Orleans park after Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Weezy donated because he played in the park as a kid and thought it would inspire other musicians to donate.
Wayne returned to this park in 2012 to film a music video for “Ball” with T.I.
After the 2010 Haiti earthquake killed over 300,000 people and left over 1 million homeless, Lil Wayne sang on the charity track “We Are The World 25 For Haiti”.
The February 12, 2010 charity record, created by Quincy Jones and Lionel Richie, was a reworking of the 1985 “We Are The World” song. The single was promoted with the music video above.
Kanye West, Miley Cyrus, Barbra Streisand, Pink, Celine Dion, Justin Bieber, Enrique Iglesias, and 40 more are on “We Are The World 25 For Haiti”. In 2010, Lil Wayne gifted Ronda Austin’s mother, Evelyn Austin, a Quantum 6000 wheelchair. Weezy reproduced Bob Dylan’s original vocals from “We Are The World” for the single and joked about it in an interview. Weezy met Ronda through her letters while he was at Rikers Island.
Ronda wrote Wayne about her family and her fandom in these letters. Tune then called her and offered to help her and her father get Evelyn a wheelchair.
Tunechi’s kindness allowed Evelyn to leave the house for the first time in years. Ronda Austin and her family recount the story above!
Distributes Thanksgiving Turkeys annually
In New Orleans, Louisiana, Lil Wayne and Cash Money Records organize a Thanksgiving turkey giveaway every year. Weezy and the CMB crew present 1,000 turkeys to city families to enjoy the holiday.

New Orleans TRUKSTOP Skate Park Open
A skate park developed by Lil Wayne and Mountain Dew opened in New Orleans’ Lower 9th Ward Village on September 26, 2012. Weezy built this skate park there because it was one of the worst Hurricane Katrina impacted areas in 2005.
Wayne explains why he opened TRUKSTOP skate park for New Orleans youth above!
“Tie My Hands” Saved Soldier
In Afghanistan, Lander Chappell accidently stepped оn an IED while clearing a rоute. He was lоsing blооd, lоsing his leg, and drifting in and оut оf cоnsciоusness.
While waiting for physicians, one of Lander’s soldiers asked him to sing his favorite song. Before aid arrived, Chappell sang Lil Wayne’s “Tie My Hands” with Robin Thicke.
Lander Chappell still credits Lil Wayne’s “Tie My Hands” and his soldier companion for saving his life. After stepping on an IED in Afghanistan, it saved me. That music inspires.”
