Plagued by problems even more serious than his inability to read directions on Trojan wrappers, rapper Lil Wayne pleaded guilty to felony gun possession charges this morning, agreeing to spend a year behind bars as a result.
Couldn't happen to a better guy.
Wayne, whose real name is Dwayne Carter, 27, faced myriad charges after a loaded 9mm gun was discovered in his tour bus almost two years ago.
This morning he bit the bullet and pleaded guilty to attempted possession of a weapon in the second degree, sparing him a much longer sentence.
The surprise plea came in the middle of what was expected to be a lengthy pre-trial hearing. Asked if he was ready to plea, Lil Wayne said "Yes, sir."
He accepted the terms and that was pretty much it.
Lil Wayne will be trading in those fancy threads for an orange jumpsuit shortly.
Clad in black jeans and a white T-shirt under a blue, fur-lined coat, Wayne, who is free on bail, then left the court with a heavily blinged-out entourage.
Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Charles Solomon called it "a greatly reduced sentence." He will be officially sentenced and head to jail in February.
If you're Lil Wayne and looking for a silver lining here, at least he won't be knocking up anyone else for a while, if you know what we're saying.
We're saying he fathers many children.

I am starting to like the trend of rappers going to jail. Less garbage on the radio.

I like Lil Wayne but I got to tell this joke. Yo Wayne don't take it personal it comes w/ the territory....... Well he should fit in pretty well in jail and here's the top three reasons why....
#1- He has long hair like a Bictch (Big Bubba will love playing w/ those locks)
#2- He like sagging his pants (Oh Big Bubba will help him w/ that)
#3- He kissed babby in the lips (Oh Big Bubba been dreaming about that for years now)
*************************Bonus***************
#4- I don't know about in New Orleans but on the Island (Rikers) dudes got to pay rent to live. (Lil Wayne got a lot of money in commissary so the whole house will live)

I DISAGREE WITH THE GARBAGE YOU ARE SAYING. LIL WAYNE IS INDEED A GOOD RAPPER AND HE IS VERY SUCCESSFUL! HE HAS BEEN IN THE RAP INDUSRTY FROM YOUNG AND IS STILL HERE MAKING MUSIC SO STOP ACTING LIKE NONE OF YOU SAT THERE AND DANCED OR SANG ALONG TO HIS MUSIC IN THE CLUBS! SO STOP WITH THE COMMENTS BECAUSE HATERS LIKE YOU MAKE HIM FAMOUS. SERIOUSLY.

Terrible rapper, overrated to the 25th degree.
Hope he pays child support and there's no doubt in my mind that he uses condoms but dude, when the girl says "it's ok baby, i'll throw the condom out" BULL SHIT!! She turkey basted herself no joke.
