Hot off the presses! Lil Wayne AKA Weezy is finally out of jail! Wayne just completed a eight month jail sentence for weapons possession in a New York state facility and is getting ready to return making some music!
Lil Wayne pleaded guilty to weapons possession in October 2009, after admitting in court that he had a loaded, semi-automatic .40 caliber gun on his tour bus after a concert in Manhattan. He started his sentence in March, but got time off his sentence for good behavior. However, he was disciplined and sent to solitary confinement after it was found that he brought in a charger and headphones for a digital music player, which is deemed to be contraband by prison officials. Wayne kept in touch with fans via letters and his website http://www.weezythanxyou.com/ where associates of his typed up letters from him describing his daily routine in prison and new songs he heard on the radio that he really liked. He sent a letter to his fans saying that he's thankful for all the support that he's received while behind bars:
"I laughed with some of you, reasoned with some of you, and even cried with some of you. I never imagined how much impact my words and life can have. I will be the same Martian I was when I left, just better."
Lil Wayne is currently headed to his home in Miami, where a massive welcome home party is planned for this Sunday. A flurry of excitement has come from dedicated fans and well wishers, even former President Bill Clinton has sent his regards, stating in a radio interview that he hopes he has a good life now.
