Lil Wayne Must Begin One-Year Prison Sentence By Feb. 9
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.

It doesn’t matter who the hell you are. Rapper, president, actor, regular human being. Bullfuckingshit. You don’t carry an unauthorized gun aimlessly ready to shoot whoever approaches you… or whatever you wanna shoot. And he’s not the best rapper alive, seems like he just learned his metaphors now he’s going crazy with them. He doesn’t even belong in Rap… Try Tupac, Eminem, real rappers.

look man. im a lil wayne fan actually met tha dude. he couldnt have a firearm anywhere around him because he is already a convicted felon. i do feel like the police just make up shit about them smellin marijuana and shit comin from his tour bus..i mean u need more hard evidence than that to arrest someone. he takes full responsibility for his actions he said so himself in an interview. do the research.

Truthfully, I don’t think he should go to jail for longer than 30 days. Keep in mind of what he has done for our society. He has created great music that the majority of rap/hiphop fans really like. And besides, he supported New Orleans like no other celebrity when Hurricane Katrina hit in 2005. I believe that just because he has certain habits that are typically taboo in our formal society, he shouldn’t be looked down upon by our judicial system. What ever judge and jury that reached that verdict should feel disappointed in what they are doing to such a social icon. Probation would be a better form of punishment than jail time.

Hey LDC,
Move your bitch azz down here to New Orleans and see whats up. 80% + of the population walk around with loaded firearms and if someone pulls it better believe they’re gonna use it. This city is on fire and is still the murder capital of the US. Forget, Lil wayne grew up here and spend alot of time around Holygrove, Magnolia projects, and most of the 9th ward!
p3ace and much luck to Wayne
