11. Lil Wayne – “Blood” Runs Deep In His Veins
The Bloods gang was created to compete against the Crips gang, which was dominating organized crime in Los Angeles. They are known for their hatred of Crips, bad grammar, and wearing red. Lil Wayne is a prominent rapper who identifies with the Bloods. Lil Wayne, whose real name is Dwayne Carter Jr., has been rapping since he was actually “lil” and has a lot of critical acclaim and a Grammy to show for his hard work and dedication to craft.
However, he makes a lot of bad life decisions, such as allegedly selling drugs and playing with guns. He identifies with the Bloods gang in his music and wears a lot of red. Some dispute how strong his gang affiliation is, but supporting an organized gang to however many thousands of kids look up to him as inspiration makes him just as culpable as the actual Bloods.
