Lil Wayne and Sarah Vivan were on the sidelines this past weekend supporting their son, Dwayne Carter III, as he kicked off another high school football season.
The 17-year-old placekicker and his team, the Gainesville Red Elephants, faced the Buford Wolves in their season opener on Aug. 22. More than 12,000 fans packed the stadium for the game, which aired nationally on ESPN2.
Dwayne made his presence felt early, connecting on a 35-yard field goal to give Gainesville a 3-0 lead.
He came through again in the second quarter with a 25-yarder that pulled the Red Elephants within one point at 7-6.
Gainesville ultimately fell to Buford 39-19 after the Wolves pulled away in the second half.
Sarah shared several photos from the game on Instagram, including one of her, Dwayne and his sister Essence posing in matching “Carter 82” shirts.
In another photo, Sarah and Essence were joined by Lil Wayne and two other people as they turned their backs to the camera to show off their T-shirts.
“You know we gon rep our set,” Sarah captioned the post.
Back in April, the proud mom watched her son reach another milestone when he attended his junior prom. Sarah admitted that seeing Dwayne all dressed up had her reflecting on how quickly he was growing up.
“I had a moment yesterday where I just stepped back and watched him be the amazing young gentleman I always prayed for him to be. Thank God I still got one more year,” she wrote.
Dwayne was born on Oct. 22, 2008, and is the only child Lil Wayne and Sarah share. He is the rapper’s eldest son and carries his father’s full name, Dwayne Michael Carter.
The high school athlete has also shown an interest in music over the years. In 2020, he appeared on his dad’s No Ceilings 3 mixtape, rapping under the name Lil Tune.
In addition to Dwayne, Lil Wayne is dad to daughter Reginae Carter with Toya Johnson, son Kameron Carter with Lauren London, and son Neal Carter with singer Nivea.
