After more than a month of legal wrangling and odd delays, Lil Wayne has finally been sentenced to a year on New York’s infamous Rikers Island after pleading guilty in a 2007 New York City gun case.<\/p>\n
On his hit single “A Milli,” Weezy raps that he’d rather be “pushin’ flowers than to be in the pen sharing showers,” but is appears he’ll soon find himself doing just that. Before today’s court appearance, it had proved difficult for Wayne to actually begin his agreed-upon sentence. First, the hip-hop star’s sentencing was postponed in February so he could undergo extensive dental surgery. Then, a fire shut down Manhattan’s main criminal courthouse while he was on his way to turn himself in last week.<\/p>\n
The Grammy Award-winning rapper — whose real name is Dwayne Carter — was taken away in handcuffs to start serving his term immediately after his sentencing. In October, he pleaded guilty to attempted criminal possession of a weapon and admitted having a loaded .40-caliber semiautomatic gun on his tour bus in 2007. With good behavior, the father of four (or is it five?) could be free in as little as eight months. <\/p>\n
