Lil Wayne Pleads Guilty To Attempted Gun Possession, Expects 1-year Sentence

Lil Wayne Expecting 1 Year Sentence in Jail

Lil Wayne Expecting 1 Year Sentence in Jail


Lil Wayne is headed to the big house.

The troubled rapper pleaded guilty to felony gun possession charges Thursday, agreeing to spend a year behind bars.

Wayne, whose real name is Dwayne Carter, 27, was hit with a slew of charges after a loaded 9-mm. gun was discovered in his tour bus two years ago.

He pleaded guilty to attempted possession of a weapon in the second degree, sparing him a possible 3 1/2-to-7-year prison sentence.

The surprise plea came in the middle of what was expected to be a lengthy pre-trial hearing.

“Yes, sir,” Carter, wearing black jeans and a white T-shirt under a blue, fur-lined coat, said when asked if he was ready to plea.

Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Charles Solomon called it “a greatly reduced sentence.”

Carter, who is out on bail, left the court with a heavily blinged-out entourage.

He will be sentenced in February.

Update: here is some footage of Weezy F Baby entering the courthouse:

    Posted by Ryan | October 22, 2009, 12:12 pm
  15. This could be a blessin’ in disguis. The best rappers always come out on top after jail time. A year is a lot of time for weezy to think about his career but when its all over, it will be no time at all for us fans. Ill wait…He’s gonna make history with this one.

  49. Wayne shouldnt be punished like a normal person because he isn’t a normal person. Obviously he needs protection. Everyone knows who he is and is trying to get a piece of him. Of course he would want to be cautious.

  53. smfh. 1st off lemme start by sayinq I love lil Wayne with all my heart. I love him since 1999 wen I understood music; lol. he’s been my husband since then; favorite rapper; idol everythinq in the book. yes imma féin over him and have no problem sayinq it. I remember one time my friend tried to scare me and it worked, she sent me a Link and the link truly said lil Wayne died. smfh I cried automatically, not even normal I cried like someone in my family died. my motet started cryinq she felt bad (yes I cursed the girl out when I realized ya not true like 2 mins later) but anyways I fell this whole qoinq too jail thinq shouldn’t happen. I mean they should qive him a break; the rap qame qunna be so wack witout him. and all hell will break loose if he cuts his dreads off. smfh I love u weezyy; & support u 100% 4evaa

  54. this aint that big of a deal…..waynes the best but that year off might let other people shine for a bit that have been over looked since waynes been on every song……this is only gonna make hip hop stronger because other mc’s are gonna grow and you know wayne aint gonna be doin nothin while locked up hes gonna come back at the peak of hip hop and there are gonna be soooo many people out there doin just as good……people are gonna realize that while waynes gone there are rappers out there that are just as good but havent been heard…..i hate to say it cuz i love the guy and ill support his music no matter what but i think we all need just a brief break from wayne for a lil cuz maybe people wont try copyin him and try soundin like him……things are gonna change for the best outta this….everything happens for a reason

  56. Listen, all you people showing love for lil wayne is great, but cmon you cant rap about being strapped and carrying guns and not expect to get searched. And when your searched and you do have illegal guns, you go to jail. He got off easy, and if anything this helps his career. The thing is, i wish this guy would stop rappin about bling, guns, and money and all the other superficial bs that rappers rap about today. Its ruining the values of people, and for the most part its not even music. Grow up people and quit crying for lil wayne, hes not paying your bills, your paying his
