Lil Wayne will be forced to plead out to a jail term in New York City on Thursday, according to sources with AllHipHop.com.
The rapper is expected to accept an 8-month bid in jail over his alleged involvement with a loaded .40-caliber pistol gun found on his tour bus in 2007 while in New York.
The 27-year-old now faces 15 years in jail for each count of criminal weapons possession and criminal possession of a loaded weapon.
“Wayne is going to plead guilty,” a source close to the case told AllHipHop.com, stressing that this was definitely going to happen. The rapper pleaded not guilty at press time and has yet to make any such public declaration. “The date is coming up and he’s going to do it tomorrow.”
Wayne is rumored to be willing to accept the deal to avoid a long term in jail over the gun. The same source said the term will begin in February of 2010 under the terms of the deal. “If he doesn’t plead, he goes to jail for a long time,” the source said.
“They told him that if he doesn’t plead tomorrow, it will go to trial and then he faces a far longer jail term,” the source continued.
A small amount of DNA may have changed the landscape of the case, according to a report by the Associated Press. There is a “minuscule” amount of the rapper’s DNA on the gun, reports say, and that has strengthened the case for the prosecution.
Another hearing is set to resume tomorrow, where the rapper will reportedly announce his next move.
AllHipHop.com was unable to obtain comment from representatives for Wayne at press time and the rapper didn’t speak to the media at a court date earlier today.
Lil Wayne has another trial looming in March over felony drug and weapons charges from a January 2008 police raid.
Damn, this is fucked… What about on the Behind The Music episode; the cops didn’t even know who Lil Wayne was, they had to ask other people. And didn’t Cortez Bryant say the gun belonged to him too?
Also, today happens to be Lil Wayne’s son’s birthday! Dwayne Carter III turned one today

i’m pretty sure cortez is trying to take the fall, but i’m also pretty sure that the prosecutors can see that and are trying to do what they can to get to the bottom of it.
but i mean, maybe 8 months is what he needs. don’t hate on me yet. If he goes in, he will leave loads of songs and mixtapes behind before he does, on top of the countless files of unreleased music he already has.
& i’m sure he would come right out of that bitch with revitalized material. remember when ‘pac came out & put all eyez on me out? that’s right.
and eight months is a cake walk considering the shit he’s up against.
but he doesn’t need to go to jail. be serious, the world is lost without him.
October 22nd, 2009 at 8:38 am
NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
October 22nd, 2009 at 8:57 am

October 22nd, 2009 at 1:18 pm
These are just some stupid rumors not facts. I don’t believe any of this bullshit until there will be some clarification. And Wayne will not go to jail LOL
October 22nd, 2009 at 1:36 pm
its not as if we wont get weezy music, hel hav tons of music saved up
October 22nd, 2009 at 1:43 pm
He probably needs this….I love Wayne but ever since D3 dropped (excluding C3), he’s been on some bullshit with all his drug use….I know it’s “his cup” but Pimp C ain’t alive cuz of it….8 months of getting clean and sober and gettin back to his Carter II shit is worth it…Rather than have him continue on the road he’s on now and die and NEVER be able to drop new shit…Think about it folks….I know some of you like his new shit, and don’t get me wrong…SOME of it i do as well, but think about that song “Tha Mobb” on the Carter II….he was balling back then….Wayne bring us back….
October 22nd, 2009 at 1:47 pm
@TML
I care about him to. Not just he’s music.
weezy.<3
October 22nd, 2009 at 2:16 pm
Thats Just how the cops are in America They see any black people doing good they Want them locked up. They look for you to sleep up any way they can. I mean look at Kobe, Micheal Vick, Burress, Ti, and out of all these white rock and roll artist none of them facing shit and im sure they got more then weed and a gun on a tour boss their stone 24 7 try cocaine, shrums and guns but you dont see the cops raiding their bus. America Is a Fucked up country Thats why Motherfuckers Blowing up our buildings, Killing hella people and shit. Wake up this Country is corrupt as hell.
October 22nd, 2009 at 2:20 pm
he can still continue to take drugs in prison
there are enough dealers around he still got some shit
October 22nd, 2009 at 2:25 pm
Lol DJBMURDER Wayne was drug’d up on tha Carter ll. Coak’d & Syrup’d up
but ummm yea this shit crazy but he is going to put out hella songz be4 and
during his Lock up..Album sales will be crazy. If he put Tha Carter 4 out be4 he
goes in. ll Fuck It a Milli tha first day
October 22nd, 2009 at 2:39 pm
this whole thing fucked up.he shouldnt be going to jail. if watched behind the music u kno how fucked up this is. AND FUCK ALL THE COPS how the fuck ya gona arrest someone u have no clue who he is..
October 22nd, 2009 at 2:56 pm
damn, this sux. Hopefully he can get out even earlier than that. Plead with the judge or some shit.
WEEZY
October 22nd, 2009 at 3:19 pm
Wow .. i gotta say this put me in a bit of a soft mood
[no homo]
No Weezy for 8 months (n) I really hope hes puting shit out before he goes in, But at the same time, there is very, very little doubt in my mind he wont put stuff out. 1-2 Mixtapes + Songs + YMC and/or Rebirth would make me happy. And c’mon guys at least its not 10-15 yrs … If that ever happend, that would be the equivalent of Wayne dieing to me haha .. but em jus sayin .. 8months is soft still.
Wouldn’t it be funny if him&t.i. did some collabs lol.
October 22nd, 2009 at 3:22 pm
@E40.
I love it here in Canada
October 22nd, 2009 at 3:25 pm
This is just a Rumor
October 22nd, 2009 at 3:29 pm
Scheezz- No…you’d be lost without Weezy, not the world my friend. I’d also like to add that I will pray for Weezy and his situation, but if he does end up having to serve time, maybe that’s God’s way of telling him to slow down some. Great things are expected from those given great responsibility. Wayne is reckless, and no matter what anybody else says about the gun, ultimately, Wayne has to take responsibility for his own actions. I’m not losing my freedom for no man walking this Earth. People think I’m always hating because I keep it real all day and don’t worship EVERYTHING about Wayne. You can be a fan without having to kiss somebody’s ass. No rainbow nigga! He’s just another rapper.
@ E40- I think most black people will agree that racism exists and that cops like locking up successful black men and black people in general. Yet and still, can someone please tell me how it’s the White man’s fault that Wayne got caught with all that stuff on his bus? Someone with as much money as him, who has been in this business as long as he has, can make mistakes, but it just looks stupid for him to be so careless at this point. Millionaires should know better and be more cautious. They checked his bus, not because they just felt like fucking with somebody, but because he got caught up with the law before. They don’t know Lil Wayne, and they don’t care about him like you fans on here do, they care about that gun, and all that dope. They’re cops, they don’t have to like Lil Wayne or know him, they don’t get paid for that. Mike Vick in his back yard rough housing dogs and shit, T.I did what he felt he had to do, but he had to pay the consequences too. Steve McNair reminded all dogs out there to think twice about screwing around on they wives (R.I.P). Kobe deserved to get caught with his no game off the court ass. He in Colorado, with a whole bunch of white people screwing a broke ass white girl, and then when you get caught, you wanna get on live t.v and cry like a lil hoe. He wasn’t crying when he was on top of that bitch. Bottom line is: These guys need to make better choices, and you niggas need to quit blaming the police and the white man for everything these black celebrities do. Hate it or love it, you know it’s true. Yep!
October 22nd, 2009 at 3:30 pm
I’m not judging these guys, or saying that they are good or bad for anything that they’ve done, I’m just saying…nobody else should be blamed for the choices they’ve made with their lives.
October 22nd, 2009 at 3:36 pm
Dam man well atleast its only 8 months and not 15-25 years and wayne will be in a prison like t.i not a hardcore jail with good behavior he will be out in 5 months
October 22nd, 2009 at 3:47 pm
This isn’t a fucking matter of race.
Wayne had fans of every racie homie, believe that.
It’s fucked up.. forreal.
There might still be music and shit but no recent photos or nothing.
His dreads finna be long long!
and they might cut em in the pen… a lot of guys force you to cut long hair.

FUCK THE POLICE. This is the shit that is fuckin ridiculous, the best rapper alive can’t be in the presence or around a goddamn gun when there are fuckin lunatics that could run up out of nowhere and shoot him. Hang in there Wayne, you’ll get through this. Free Weezy.
October 22nd, 2009 at 4:00 pm

@ e40
OMG!! ya kno i love lil waynes music ever since i could remember but thas pretty fucked up u would throw the race card out there. i mean come on had that been me or you we would been under the jail. i just hate when people like you atomatically assume its cause he’s blackk he’s in trouble… nah man if he hadnt have had the damn gun he wouldnt be in this shit. i mean considering the cop didnt even kno who he was && needed refrence to him… if you look at all the documents it was actually a black cop who arrest him that night. so before u go throwin the race card out you need to get ya facts straight. just because he got arrested OMG hes gotta be blackk helloooo do u not remember eminem they did the same shit to him.
GOD bless to weezyy && believe me none of this will stop him if anything it will only make him faster & strongerr. && when its all said && donee there will be some great music out of it!!
