Lil Wayne Helps Rebuild

Hip Hop power player Lil Wayne is helping to restore his hometown by donating $200,000 to rebuild New Orleans’ Harrell Park, the rappers childhood playground.

According to reports, the park was being used as a trailer site for Sewerage and Water Board workers in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.

Due to heavy equipment and machinery being used, the park's track field and community center were ruined.

Wayne hopes that this will help kids steer clear of trouble in what is reported to be one of New Orlean's more violent neighborhoods.

“You can't really tell them (kids) what to do these days,” Lil’ Wayne stated to Louisiana’s WWLTV.

“When you tell them what to do, that's when they get angry when you tell them be like me because it's hard to be like me. So, the best thing you can tell them is try to do right.”
