NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Lil Wayne is returning to New Orleans, his hometown, for the opening of the Trukstop skate park in the Lower 9th Ward — one of the most devastated sections of the city after levees failed during Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
The Grammy-winning rapper, who recently launched a skateboarding-inspired clothing line called Trukfit, is scheduled to open the park Wednesday with his corporate partners, Mountain Dew and Glu Agency, a boutique advertising firm.
