Here’s to hoping that Lil Wayne remains behaved in prison as the rapper’s new album ‘Tha Carter IV’ is set to be released on November 5, the same day that he is tentatively slated to be released from jail. The president of Lil Wayne’s Young Money Crew talked about the new album, saying “Tha Carter IV plans we had and still have are to put Tha Carter IV out the day he comes out [of prison]. He had so many songs for Tha Carter IV, we said let’s just put these 10 songs out [on I Am Not a Human Being] and double-back for Tha Carter IV. He has more songs for Tha Carter IV that are still strong.” According to him, Lil Wayne has been hard at work on song selection for the new album despite the fact that he’s been serving a 1-year sentence on Rikers Island.
Lil Wayne has finally been sentenced and has started his one-year prison term this Monday for attempted gun possession. It was originally delayed so that the rapper could undergo eight root canals and again delayed after a fire broke out in the Manhattan Criminal Court Building. Last I heard, Lil Wayne was still undergoing medical exams but a New York corrections offer explains how the rapper?s time will be in jail. ?He’ll be housed with inmates who are classified in his category, and he’ll be able to be a regular inmate. He’ll be able to watch television, go into the day room and congregate with people of his classification. He’ll have no preferable treatment at all. He’ll be treated like a regular inmate.?
Lil Wayne is one very lucky guy. The rapper?s tour bus was detained in Falfurrias, Texas last week after Border Patrol officers found some marijuana on board. The great part about it for Lil Wayne was that he managed to escape a citation. He and 11 others were questioned by Border Patrol last Friday night and a couple of the guys in his crew were cited for possession. The rapper obviously dodged the bullet big time or he would be serving more time in jail on top of the time he?s set to serve starting in early February. When is this guy going to learn?
The woman accused of stalking Justin Timberlake has a Guns N Roses connection. Apparently, a judge had already banned the woman from getting near the band?s lead singer Axl Rose. Karen McNeil, who Justin calls an ?obsessed mentally unstable celebrity stalker?, was already sentenced to a year in jail after repeatedly disobeying a court order banning her from coming within 300 yards of Axl?s property. At the time, she told officials that she was Axl?s wife and communicated with him telepathically. Say what? The hounding didn?t stop with jail time though as the woman reportedly continued to send Axl letters from behind bars. Crazy!
