An even littler Wayne has arrived.

Lil Wayne welcomed a son, Dwayne Carter III, Wednesday in Ohio, his rep tells MTV News.

The baby was born at Christ Hospital in Cincinnati. Wayne, himself born Dwayne Carter Jr., also has a daughter, Reginae Carter, with ex-wife Antonia Johnson.

The platinum-selling rapper has not released the identity of Dwayne III's mom.

But 2008 continues to be a crazy momentous year for Wayne, the self-proclaimed "best rapper alive," whose highly anticipated Tha Carter III (how prescient!) went platinum in a month en route to becoming the best-selling album of the year.

On Saturday, Wayne was named MVP of the Year at the 2008 BET Hip-Hop Awards in Atlanta, where he also took home trophies for Lyricist of the Year and for being the Alltel Wireless People's Champ. The ceremony airs Thursday on BET.
