Lil Wayne, who is currently serving time on gun charges in New York’s notorious Riker’s Island prison, entered a guilty plea to drug and weapon charges in Yuma, Ariz. on Friday.
Weezy pleaded not guilty to the charges in January, 2008, after the US Border Patrol stopped his tour bus about 80 miles east of Yuma and found cocaine, marijuana, drug paraphernalia and a handgun. He changed his plea to guilty on Friday, in exchange for all charges except one – for possession of dangerous drugs – being dropped.
Lil Wayne faces up to 36 months probation when he is charged June 30.

Lil’ Wayne has written another letter to his fans from prison — and in it the beloved hip-hop star and father of four addresses the various mothers of his children.
Weezy writes in part: “The love between a mother and her offspring is hands down the most beautiful thing God created. More than money, more than fame, more than cars. You know why? Because true love is the only thing that lasts from the moment you’re born to the second you perish. To all the mothers who read this letter, I hope this day allows you to feel the love and respect you so rightfully deserve. You are the role models, not me….To the mothers of my beautiful children, there remains nothing but love, adoration and respect coming from my heart. Even with the mistakes I’ve made in my life, you give me reason to smile in a place where they attempt to break your spirit each day the sun rises. I love my babies with all my heart. And the fact you brought them into this world only gives me more and more motivation to write these words. Happy Mother’s Day…”
We have to admit the guy can pen quite a thought-provoking letter!
