Lil Wayne Begins One-Year Prison Sentence
After more than a month of legal wrangling and odd delays, Lil Wayne has finally been sentenced to a year on New York’s infamous Rikers Island after pleading guilty in a 2007 New York City gun case.
On his hit single “A Milli,” Weezy raps that he’d rather be “pushin’ flowers than to be in the pen sharing showers,” but is appears he’ll soon find himself doing just that. Before today’s court appearance, it had proved difficult for Wayne to actually begin his agreed-upon sentence. First, the hip-hop star’s sentencing was postponed in February so he could undergo extensive dental surgery. Then, a fire shut down Manhattan’s main criminal courthouse while he was on his way to turn himself in last week.
The Grammy Award-winning rapper — whose real name is Dwayne Carter — was taken away in handcuffs to start serving his term immediately after his sentencing. In October, he pleaded guilty to attempted criminal possession of a weapon and admitted having a loaded .40-caliber semiautomatic gun on his tour bus in 2007. With good behavior, the father of four (or is it five?) could be free in as little as eight months.

Lil Wayne, the guy who says hes the best rapper alive… he don’t even really think that.. hes lying, he was begging Eminem to do a song with him, and he even admitted that he thinks Eminem is better then him in an a Amsterdam interview saying to Eminem in his exact words
“im callin you out yes, come on out here… its ok” then quickly retracted that and said “im not callin you out to diss me, cause i cant fuck with ya, but i just sayin come do a song with me please… please, with three e’s”
