Louisiana rapper Lil Wayne was heavily criticized online after fans learned about the age difference between him and his fiancée.
Fans became aware of the couple’s age difference after Wayne’s fellow Hot Boys member B.G. shared a video on Instagram showing the rapper with his fiancée. Wayne, who is 44, revealed that he is now engaged to his ex-girlfriend, Madi Cannon, who is 23 years old. This makes the age difference between the two 21 years.
The video showed Wayne celebrating B.G.’s engagement to his girlfriend, Brooke Jones. “Congratulations, [expletive],” Wayne said. The rapper then turned the camera toward his fiancée and added, “And I’m marrying this one. This is Madison.”
“This is my fiancée. Congratulations. Let us know what color we’re wearing. I’m the best man, you hear me? Love you, [expletive],” Wayne continued. After the Instagram video was shared online, fans quickly began commenting on the 21-year age difference between the rapper and his fiancée.
Following news of Lil Wayne’s engagement, fans also began discussing his previous relationships and his children while reacting to the 21-year age difference. Some viewers pointed to the different stages of life between the 44-year-old rapper and 23-year-old Cannon, while others brought up Wayne’s family and relationship history as part of the wider discussion surrounding the engagement.
However, not everyone viewed the age difference as an issue. Some fans pointed out that both Wayne and Cannon are adults and argued that a 21-year age gap does not necessarily mean there is anything wrong with their relationship.
