Ouch — Lil’ Wayne underwent eight root canal surgeries at one time in order to get his pearly whites ready for the pokey. The prison-bound rap star got several tooth implants redone and repaired damaged to molars during an eight hour surgery near his home in Miami on Tuesday.

Lil Wayne’s scheduled sentencing in a New York City weapons case was postponed Tuesday…..because the rapper’s platinum-plated teeth are in dire need of dental work, The Associated Press has learned.

Prison-bound rapper covers the new issue of Rolling Stone Magazine, on newsstands this Friday!

After online reports suggested that Lil Wayne’s often-delayed Rebirth album had been pushed back once again, this time to June 22nd, the rapper’s publicist released a statement Thursday announcing that Weezy’s rock debut is still scheduled to drop Feb. 2.

Weezy’s long-awaited rock LP, Rebirth, won’t drop until June — but that hasn’t stopped the hip-hop boss from dropping his next single. Check out the music video premiere of “On Fire.”

The release of Lil Wayne’s long-delayed rock album has been pushed back an additional six months — just weeks after it was accidentally shipped out to 500 fans.

Rebirth — the follow-up to 2008′s The Carter III — was due to officially hit stores and the Internet on 1 February, but a few hundred copies were sent to Amazon.com customers, who had pre-ordered the album, last month.

Rebirth will now drop June 22. Lil Wayne is set to begin serving a one year prison sentence on weapons charges next month.

Lil Wayne and 11 members of his entourage were briefly detained in Texas Friday night after U.S. Border Patrol officers found marijuana on two of his tour buses, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

The buses were stopped in Falfurrias, about 80 miles southwest of Corpus Christi, where the rapper is scheduled to perform Sunday night.

A drug dog initially detected the odor of narcotics on one of the buses. Marijuana was found during secondary inspections.

Wayne, whose real name is Dwayne Carter, and the others were questioned and released. The case has been referred to the Brooks County Sheriff’s Office.

In October, the rapper pleaded guilty to attempted criminal possession of a weapon, a charge that stemmed from a 2007 traffic stop of his tour bus in Manhattan. He will begin a one-year prison sentence in February.

Lil Wayne will drop one more album before heading to The Big House. The 27-year-old Grammy winner — real name Dwayne Carter — was sentenced to a year in prison today after he pleaded guilty to felony gun charges in Manhattan Criminal Court earlier this year.

He is free on bail and will head to jail on Feb. 9. Wayne’s new album, Rebirth, premieres Feb. 1.

Police in New York City discovered a loaded 9-mm handgun on Wayne’ tour bus when he was headlining a show in Manhattan in July 2007. Officials pulled over the bus near Columbus Circle after claiming they saw and smelled marijuana smoke wafting from a door.
