Rapper Lil Wayne celebrates his 27th birthday with diamond-studded cakeMost commonly known about the luxurious hip-hop lifestyle are their “urban kid” dress-ups but their glitz and bling has always encompassed all aspects of the luxurious lifestyle. Beating yet again all that is luxurious, the American Grammy Award-winning rapper Lil Wayne celebrated his 27th birthday with a million dollar Chopard watch and a $200,000 Chopard black diamond chain as gift along with a diamond-studded cake to top it all. It is not the first time that Lil Wayne has appeared on the urban scene owing to his birthday gifts. Last year’s birthday bash included a suitcase of $1 million in cash and there’s little to say that Lil Wayne has done a good job for living to see 27. Happy b’day, Weezy! |
