Lil Wayne is Finally Behind Bars to Begin his Jail Sentence
After saying goodbye on concert stages and online video streams, Lil Wayne had nothing to add as he was sentenced Monday to a year in jail for having a loaded gun on his tour bus.
The Grammy Award-winning rapper delivered only a brief bow to fans and supporters as he was led out of a courtroom in handcuffs to start serving his sentence.
With that, Lil Wayne headed off to face his punishment in a case that had shadowed him as he became one of music’s most prolific and profitable figures in recent years. Arrested in July 2007, he pleaded guilty in October to attempted criminal possession of a weapon. He admitted he had the loaded .40-caliber semiautomatic gun on his bus.
His lawyer, Stacey Richman, said the rapper was resolute as he was taken away.
“He knew what he had to do, and he’s doing it,” she said.
Lil Wayne will serve his sentence in the Rikers Island jail complex. Richman said she expected he would be held in protective custody, but the city Correction Department said it was still deciding on that. Protective custody is given to inmates who, for a variety of reasons including notoriety, require separation from the general prison population.
The 27-year-old rap star could be released in about eight months with good behavior. But then he will face his trial in Arizona on more charges which will probaly get him a even stiffer sentence. Arizona is waiting for his N.Y sentence to be complete before he will go on trial and be sentenced again to even more time in Tent City in Arizona.

Lil Wayne will not go to Jail Until Monday
Lil Wayne will not be going to jail today dude’s check-in date was just pushed back again for the 3rd time!!!
If you’ve been following the saga, Wayne was originally supposed to go to jail a few weeks ago … but the judge cut him a break so the rapper could swap out his diamond teeth for a less expensive set.
Then he was supposed to check in yesterday, until a fire broke out in the courthouse and everyone was sent home.
Now, the judge has decided to once again push back Wayne’s court date so more repairs can be made to the courthouse.
According to the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office, Wayne will be back on Monday unless some other crazy, unexpected thing delays the case again.
