Looks like Lil Wayne won’t be
going to jail… yet. Young Money President Mack Maine took to his twitter
earlier today to announce that the Hip hop hardest working man’s sentencing
date has been postponed.
“Extension till march 2nd!!!!!”
Maine just wrote on the social networking site. “Thanx for da prayers LOVE
y’all…and Wayne said thanx for da prayers too..YM!!!”
As previously reported, Wayne was
expected to be sentenced today in Manhattan criminal court and then begin
serving his time.
As reported by XXLmag.com, The
Grammy award-winning MC was arrested in July 2007, following a concert at
Manhattan’s Beacon Theatre. After smelling marijuana coming from Wayne’s tour
bus, officers pulled the vehicle over and allegedly found a .40 caliber
semi-automatic loaded gun belonging to the rapper.
Originally claiming innocence,
Weezy switched his plea two years later for a lesser charge. On October 22,
2009 the rap superstar officially pled guilty to a second-degree attempted gun
possession charge. He will most likely only have to serve eight-months on good
behavior of his one-year sentence.
In related news, Wayne still
faces drug and weapons charges in Arizona. That trial is scheduled to begin in
March.
Last night on UStream, Wayne addressed
all of his fans. “I’m out this bitch,” he said. “To all my fans, my real fans,
I really, really, really truly love you. I love you with all of me, for real.
I’ll probably be loving everything else because I love you so much. Thank you
from the bottom [of my heart]. Do not forget about me ’cause I will forever
think about you, and I cannot wait for you to see me again. I’m out.”
