Dwayne Carter III, the legendary rapper, recently made his high school football debut for Gainesville, Texas, connecting on both field goals while his father builds a sports empire. This marks a significant moment for the young player, who transferred to Gainesville from North Atlanta High School and posted on X before the season started, ‘New school, last year. Let’s make it count.’ He’s already making good on that promise. Dwayne Carter III received his first Division 1 scholarship offer from Colorado back in June, with Deion Sanders personally extending the invitation. Delivering news to inboxes since 1999. We break it. They take it. Get it first, straight from AllHipHop.
The story reveals a deeper connection between Lil Wayne and sports than initially anticipated. Wayne’s involvement extends far beyond simply having a kid on the field; the rap legend has emerged as a legitimate force in the sports world over the past few years. He’s appeared on ESPN First Take multiple times and has built serious credibility talking about the game. In July, he launched The Joint Venture Show with WFAN radio veteran Craig Carton, a weekly podcast that combines Lil Wayne’s sports knowledge with Carton’s decades of radio experience. The show dropped on July 22nd and has been getting real traction in the sports media space. But here’s where it gets really interesting. Lil Wayne didn’t just become a sports fan and podcaster. He owns his own sports agency, Young Money APAA Sports, which he founded with the von Gontard family. The agency has been signing major talent left and right. Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter just signed with Young Money APAA Sports for his NFL representation, joining a roster that includes Mecole Hardman Jr., D’Andre Walker, Gary Johnson, Jakobi Meyers, Dennis Daley, Emeke Egbule, and Jamal Davis II. The agency now has over 65 athletes under contract and continues to grow. The journey of this young player showcases a remarkable dedication to the sport, a testament to his father’s influence, and a significant step towards establishing Lil Wayne’s legacy within the football community. His mother, Sarah Vivan, has supported him throughout his athletic journey, and she was right there on the sidelines during his debut, offering unwavering encouragement and a quiet confidence that fuels his ambition. The connection between the two is a compelling narrative of generational influence and a new chapter for a rising star.
