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.
if he is your favorite rapper then you are like 15 years old, thats real talk. and he is not a real blood that has already been exposed. Lil wayne is a trash rotten teeth rapper. he might have alot of fans but not in my hood, we dont listen to faggots. he gonna be a scared lil 5 foot 3 inch bitch in jail, braiding dudes hair and rubbing lotion on they nuts while the guards laugh at him. he is in his cell shaking like a leaf now saying im scared so so scared. im da lollipop kid.

Lil wayne has a huge caucasian teenage fan base. But he gets very little play in the bricks. DJs who kept putting him on mixtapes after he sued mixtape djs were suckers. The real DJs all abandoned him. His new rap style is total trash. I wish jail on no man but I am glad he is gone for a little while. Hopefully in arizona he will get the 7 years he is up for and we wont have to hear him rap no more. Best rapper alive is, was and will always be a joke to me.
