Lil Wayne Pleads Guilty to Gun Charges; Gets 1 Yr in Prison


I'm going to keep my personal opinions to myself on this one, because its always disheartening to see a rapper go to jail. But I will say this - these rappers need to learn that they are not above the law. You break the law, you gotta serve consequences just like the rest of us normal people. Moving on...

Lil Wayne plead guilty today (Oct 22) to attempted weapon possession in New York. Wayne was busted on July 22, 2007 in NYC after police pulled over his tour bus because they allegedly smelled pot, but we all know the REAL reason they pulled him over. Cops say when an officer approached the bus, Wayne tossed a Louis Vuitton bag with a gun inside.

Wayne is expecting to get 1-year behind bars, but unfortunately his problems don't stop there. Weezy also still faces felony drug possession and weapons charges in Arizona after cops found 105 grams of marijuana, 29 grams of cocaine, 41 grams of ecstasy, various drug paraphernalia and a handgun on his tour bus during a traffic stop in Yuma County back in 2008.

Wayne pled not guilty to those charges -- his trial is set for March of 2010.
