Check Out Bonnaroo Artist Lil Wayne’s Miami Beach Retreat

In a few hours, I’ll be loading up my car with seven gallons of frozen water, an old tent and a battery-powered fan that I plan on becoming super tight with this weekend. That’s right, I’m Bonnaroo-bound and making the trek to Manchester, Tenn. for the annual four-day, multi-stage music festival. This year, rapper and entrepreneur Lil Wayne will be one of the festival’s biggest headliners. Whether you’re a hip-hop fan or not, it’s difficult to deny that Lil Wayne is one of the most powerful and influential artists in the rap industry. His elite status got me daydreaming about his digs in Miami.

I pictured extravagant interior architectural details, diamond accents (just because he can) and state-of-the-art gaming and entertainment systems. What I discovered in Lil Wayne’s Miami Beach home was not at all what I expected. In a word, the design is very subdued. And the weirdest part of it all? I’d move in right now and not change a decorating detail.

  1. Way too plain for me, just my opinion…

    • I agree, it's far too sterile and clinical for me

  4. It kind of looks more like an ultra-chic hotel. Does he actually live there or does he just pay a house-keeper to live there to keep it spotless? Haha
