After many a delay, Lil’ Wayne finally begun his year long jail sentence today.
The 28 year old star surrendered at the Manhattan, New York courtroom this morning (March 8th), where he was then placed in handcuffs and taken into custody after formally being handed down his sentence.
The Grammy Award-winning rapper, real name Dwayne Carter, pleaded guilty back in October last year to charges of attempted criminal possession of a weapon. He admitted having the loaded .40-caliber semiautomatic gun on his tour bus.
Carter will be serving his sentence in city jail, as opposed to state prison, and can potentially be freed after eight months, if his behaviour is good enough.
——————————–
While I may catch some flack for this, all I can say is ‘it’s about time!’ I was beginning to think there was some JuJu/Obia at play here with the constant pushbacks to the sentence. Not to be confused with anyone taking pleasure in another’s misfortune, but as the age-old adage goes….”if you do the crime, you have to do the time”. I mean to think some folk were screaming “Free Lil’ Wayne”….erm no LOL.

Sad, but true. It’s about damn time! Kinda sad that the jokes are over now, they had a good run 🙂
🙁 🙁 🙁
i agree
he shod just go in n get it over with
i luv his music so much, but still, its bout time
LOL @ JuJu/Obia reference. I pratice that religion. It’s all about peace, respect, energy & karma, but it all comes back to one upper god (NaNA). Maroons were the first to gain freedom in the new world. this had all to do with their strenght and believes of respecting everything around you. Especially mother EARTH! Yes, I’m half maroon.
He better come with the hits when he get out that son of a b****…
Man, it’s only 8 months. Now he can hurry up and get it over with.
This is a sad situation another black man behind bars it is not just him in jail you have a family and friends that suffer too. I wish Wayne all the best during this difficult experience. Hopefully he will come out of this situation stronger in all aspects, may he be protected by the Lord”s mercy. To everyone know a man built on character can not be broken by any system. God bless the Carter family.
I’d empty my savings if they put him in general population. Fake thug wouldn’t last long! Not a hater, but I hate the fact that he makes money to contribute filth to the minds of our children.

I’m pretty sure nobody in there is gonna try and r*** his Kermit The Frog looking ass.
@Sam — K this was YOUR-first….”misstep”: You can’t look at ‘THIS-situation’ – ‘in a vacuum’ – NO! Did you know that Wayne was robbed and beaten, while in LA (S.Central), to-be-exact; so the story goes! Also, person(S) unknown, ‘shot-up’ his tour bus some time back in 09! ..Let us NOT forget that incident with T.I.’s manager/best-friend getting killed; the vehicle, they were traveling in, was riddled with bullets. …T.I. watched HIS best friend die, right there, in front of him!
In a subsequent interview, T.I. has said: “That was the one-time I-needed-it, but didn’t have it! …There are “overriding-safety-concerns” regarding THEIR “actions and decisions” – is what I’m trying to say; then, there are those, who just-only, for lack of a better word, “HATE”, and want to “do harm” to those who appear to be doing well!
In closing: I’m sorry Sam, as charming as you can be (it’s ALL in the accent); THIS time – YOU’RE WRONG!! Wayne will be in Protective Custody (PC), and he’ll NOT have any “distractions” to deny him that “8-month good-behavior sentence!” …So he’ll be home in no-time! Next time, I’d prefer to see him hire body guards who ARE LICENSED TO CARRY, AND USE, FIREARMS!!
X,Y,”and Z” — OUT!!
@Youputthelimeinthecoconut — So you’re the resident TGJ FagHag? …Well, I’m sorry to disappoint you – Wayne will be in Protective Custody, so you’ll have to get your “homoerotic-fix”, elsewhere!
X,Y,”and Z” — OUT!
I definitely agree with you X,Y,”and Z”!
In addition I don’t believe the police have still not found the killer of who murdered T.I.’s friend and attempted to murder him.
Also, Sam “How dare you talk about do the crime and do the time”. He had illegal gun possesion but umm your Dream Lover Chris Brown physically assaulted a women and served no time. T.I. and Lil Wayne put their hands on no one yet served jail time so for you to be giving your two cents on this situation is quite interesting and hypocritical!
@ X,Y,”and Z”, sweetie I KNOW you did not just accuse me of having to get my “homoerotic-fix” elsewhere in regards to Lil’ Wayne being r**** in prison!! Oh god, lol I think I’d rather kill myself than to watch Weezy with a man OR a woman. Hell, as a straight female, I’d rather have homoerotic thoughts involving two women than sexual thoughts involving Lil’ Ugly.
Every time I look at him, I get that “just woke up first thing in the morning and haven’t brushed my teeth yet” taste in my mouth. 🙁
@Be BETTER not “Bitter!”, I agree with you on the Chris Brown thing.
YES, That means we can finally get a break from his Whining autotune Mess & retarded Lyrics…
Now hopefully Drake goes behind Bars too for MURDERING REAL MUSIC
I LOVE D’WAYNE MICHAEL CARTER! He is my favorite artist of all time (male or female, singer or rapper)……He should do the time because he did the crime but like he said “Law is mind without reason….I’ll return” And I can’t wait for his return! I hope he comes out a better person (S0bER!) 🙂
I agree with X,Y, and Z!
Thank God
WHAT I DONT LIKE ABOUT WHAT THE WRITER SAYS HERE IS THAT IF YOU DO
THE CRIME, YOU DO THE TIME? HOW IS HAVING PROTECTION ON BOARD
YOUR F***** TOUR BUS AND NOT NOTIFYING THE STATE YOU LIVE IN THAT YOU
LIVE IN YOUR CARRYING IT A CRIME THAT JUSTIFIES A YEAR IN PRISON WHEN
A. NOBODY WAS HURY.
B. LITTLE WAYNE HAD CHILDREN AND A WIFE
C. AND ALOT OF REASON TO FEEL THE NEED OF OWNING
PROTECTION WHETHER IT BE THE VALUABLES ON THAT TOUR
BUS OR THE FAMILY WHO SOME WANT TO HARM..
A YEAR IN PRISON FOR PROTECTING YOUR FAMILY?
ITS ABOUT TIME THEY START CHANGING SOME F****** GUN LAWS!!!!
Dea @ S***’s comment! LMAO!!!!
@BetternotBitter – I’d rather you “gave-thought” BEFORE you agreed-or-disagreed with me! …Chris Brown, if the “crime” HAD warranted as much, would have NOT been offered NOR granted probation; if, as that Cell Phone Warrant – which the ‘most-cogent-points’ Rihanna in that 20/20 interview disavowed – was in fact the telling of that Feb 8/09 afternoon’s “occurrences!”
…I’ll even refer to that now-infamous picture of her; if “all-those,” in-addition to a hostile jury, didn’t compel the DA to hold-out for jail, and NOT probation, then there is CERTAINLY much to “give-pause” as to the “happenings” in THAT car between those two on that Feb 8th/09 afternoon! …Then comes the realization that Rihanna has a history of violent rage: her smashing bottles upside her brother’s head!
So there-you-have-it: you presented your logic – twisted, contorted and thoroughly-nonsensical, as it was; I’ve ‘made-clean’ said disharmonious recalcitrant-banter.
…No rest for the weary, it seems! ….Yet still..
X,Y,”and Z” — OUT!
@youputthelimeinthecoconut — Was it, NOT YOU, who made reference to, him “getting r**** in Jail?” Or was it some-impostor, with wanton-disregard for morality and reason, who THEN hijacked your identity and managed to “cast-pall-over”, what seemed to be an interesting and thought-provoking post? …So if it weren’t you, who felt some carnal-impulse to share their desire for Wayne to “partake in prison-lust,’ then by-all-means I retract, and take-back – all I’ve written..
…But in the case that it WAS YOU: “Sweetie,” you’d do-well NOT to wag your faghaging, immoral and degenerate finger in MY face! Save that s*** for “someone-lesser” who can’t see you for the lonely, underemployed, incapable, dreadfully-boring malcontent that you really are!
Wayne will be in PC, as “Tony Yayo”, who did-time, as a celeb, told us: it’s mandatory for a celeb to get PC, if not, and he is harmed, then Rikers will be held responsible!
…So there will be no “prison-r***-shower-scene” for you to salivate-over; only your warped and decrepit, sense-of-morality, to guide you, along-the-nightmarish-hallows, of your wretched existence!
X,Y,”and Z” — OUT!
@S*** — It seems, that if NAS, your idol and/or mentor, doesn’t “pony-up” that $200K, and hand it over to Kelis, he-too will be a “guest-of-the-state”; state-jewels optional! …Nas’ “IRS Obligations” NOT-WITHSTANDING!!
So while you’re being “thankful for Wayne, and the absence of autotune”, we-all can ALSO be thankful for Nas’ absence: No-more “a-sad-figure-of-masculinity” upon the wasteland of pop-culture we can find!
X,Y,”and Z” — OUT!!
LMAO @ X,YandZ
LMMFAOOOOOOOOOO @ X, Y, AND Z!!!!
I totally agree with your last comment! That is soooo true! Although, I do like Nas’ lyrics (and that’s it), I don’t think people really take the time to listen to Wayne’s lyrics. Dude is deep. All people here is the autotuned songs and figure that’s all he is but I’ve been a fan of Wayne since the “Hot Boys” days and he has grown tremendously. From the “Carter 1 to Carter 3” with the inclusion of his mixtapes, Wayne is the truth. It’s one thing to not like his music (autotune) but I don’t think people can judge an artist if they have only heard his singles. That’s ridiculous. And to even call his lyrics retarded??? Come on Son!
i think he may be GAY
lil wayne is a f** he kissed baby slob mother f***** crrriiiip the f***** is a fake he aint no thug he whines to how you gonna rap bout stuff you never did he fake why listen to fake music i dont get it f*** slobs crips up always
