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 is in trouble after the rapper was reportedly busted during an early morning search with a pair of earphones and an iPod charger. That?s a big no-no at Rikers Island. According to the New York Daily News, Lil Wayne, who is serving a one-year stint for a gun possession charge, will be charged with an infraction for being in possession of music contraband. They found the items wrapped in foil and hidden in the trash. The big mystery though is that officials were unable to locate the actual mp3 player. There?s no word on how he was able to smuggle the items in and what his penalty would be.
Now that Lil Wayne is finally serving his time in jail at New York?s Rikers Island prison on weapons charges, the rapper has been ordered to not sign autographs. He has been warned to avoid publicizing his celebrity and giving autographs to any of the other inmates. A representative of the Correction Officer?s Benevolent Association said ?Lil Wayne is not a celebrity in here.? It looks like the rapper is in for a rough time. Rikers has been known to not really treat their celebrity inmates any better than any other goon. And that?s good since he deserves it after all the lucky breaks he had.
