Rapper Lil Wayne is expected to appear in a Yuma court for a hearing related to drug possession and weapons charges.

An attorney for Wayne, whose real name is Dwayne Carter, says the rapper will be at Yuma County Superior Court on Tuesday morning for a status conference.

In January 2008, Carter was arrested at a border checkpoint 78 miles east of Yuma after authorities found cocaine, Ecstasy and a handgun on his tour bus.

He faces one count each of possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of dangerous drugs and weapons misconduct.

Carter previously pleaded not guilty to all charges.

Lets just hope that everything goes well for Wayne today
