Lil Wayne gives a hand in the delivery room

Rapper helps out at son's birth

Lil Wayne's now a dad of two

Last week, when Lil Wayne, 26, became a father for the second time to baby boy Dwayne Michael Carter III, at Christ Hospital in Cincinnati, he wasn't handing out cigars in the waiting room. He was right there in the delivery room.

"I delivered him. I held the left leg the whole time," Wayne said Tuesday night at Power 105.1's Powerhouse concert. "It was nasty, very nasty, but it was wonderful. Oct. 22, 9:25 a.m., 7 lbs., 12 oz. He's the best thing to ever happen to me, next to my daughter.”

Lil Wayne's first child, 8-year-old Reginae Carter, belongs to Wayne and his high school sweetheart Antonia "Toya" Johnson.

The identity of the newborn's mother remains private.
