While Lil Wayne is no doubt somewhere celebrating selling a million+ copies of "The Carter III", there's an ominous cloud hanging over his head. And I'm not talking about his addiction to lean, either...
Remember last July when Wayne got caught in NY city with an unregistered gun on his tour bus? The prosecutor took DNA samples from Wayne in an effort to connect him to the weapon and the tests are due back any day now. Why it took a year to process, I don't know, but if he's convicted on the gun charge he's facing up to three years in the slammer. And to make matters worse, a statement taken from Weezy at the jail that night, might do him in if the DNA doesn't. According to police reports, Wayne asked the arresting officer, "What am I being charged with?"
"Criminal possession of a weapon," the office responded.
Then Weezy allegedly said, "I have a permit for that gun in Florida."
Followed by "You do? Do you have it on you?" from the cop
To which Weezy answered, "No."
Since his Florida permit would have no legal bearing on the NY case, his statement could be taken as an admission that the gun indeed belongs to him.
Well, good luck with that Weezy, and remember guys, you have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.
