Lil Wayne released from prison
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 5 November 2010
Lil Wayne isn’t in prison any more, which is nice for him. He was released from Rikers Island jail in New York yesterday after serving eight months for illegal possession of a handgun.
As previously reported so many times that it almost seems pointless mentioning it again, Wayne was arrested in 2007, following a search of his tour bus when a police officer discovered a .40 calibre handgun.
After much delay, due variously to fire and dentistry, he was sentenced to a year in prison, though, as expected, he only served eight months.
Earlier this week, writing on the website he set up to communicate with fans during his prison stay, Wayne said that he “was never scared, worried, nor bothered by the situation”, then he started banging on about an imaginary woman, so it probably is a good time for him to get out of jail.
Later, speaking to MTV News, the rapper’s business partner Mack Maine confirmed that a big party was being put together to celebrate Wayne’s release this Sunday, followed by a trip to a strip club. How nice.
