Looks like Lil Wayne might have another child that he apparently did not know anything about!

According to TMZ, a female name Keiotia Watson has filed legal documents claiming the Cash Money rapper is the father of her 15-year-old son whose name is Dwayne. In the legal documents Watson stated that she and Weezy had sexual relations in June 2001, the time she allegedly got pregnant. She claims that her now teenage son was conceived in February 2002.

TMZ reports that a couple years ago the 35-year-old was ordered to take a paternity test and to pay $5,000 a month in child support, but Wayne has not complied to the order, but according to some sources close to Weezy, he was never served any papers regarding this alleged son of his.

Lil Wayne whose real name is Dwayne Carter has not responded to these allegations. However, a close source to Wayne says he has plans on taking a paternity test. He will also take full responsibility and pay what he owes if he is the father.

Wayne already has four children by four women. He has three sons and one daughter. If he is the father of Dwayne he will have five children. Doesn’t look like he’s going to be retiring no time soon!
