Lil Wayne to Rock Out on ‘The View’
Rapper/rocker Lil Wayne will take his mainstream success to another level tomorrow (April 24) when he appears on the ABC daytime show 'The View.' It hasn't been confirmed whether Wayne will sit down with the ladies of 'The View,' but he is scheduled to take the stage.
Lil' Wayne has scored a host of high-profile television appearances in the last few months, including 'The Late Show with David Letterman' and the pre-Grammy special where he opened up to Katie Couric about his drug use and absentee father.

"I'm a junior and my father is living ... he's never been in my life, so I don't want to be Dwayne. I'd rather be Wayne," he said of dropping the "D" from his name. When asked if his father knew of his feelings towards him he replied "He knows now."
