Incarcerated rapper Lil Wayne was reportedly busted for being in possession of “music contraband” in the form of a charger and a pair of earphones for a watch that doubled as a digital music player around 8am on Tuesday (May 11). Prison guards, who found the items wrapped in foil and in a bag, searched the lyricist’s cell after being alerted by a fellow Rikers Island inmate.“He [Lil Wayne] was found with a charger of an MP3 player and unauthorized earphones,” said a source to the New York Daily News.
It’s also being reported that the music player that accompanied the charger and the earphones was found in another inmate’s cell on the same wing. Both, Wayne and that inmate, will be charged with an infraction for the items, according to a person in the Corrections Department. Investigators are also looking into how the contraband came into Weezy’s possession to begin with.
The Cash Money rapper is currently serving a 366 day sentence following a guilty plea to attempted weapon possession in October 2009. The charge stems from a 2007 incident where a semiautomatic pistol was located around his tour bus.
After his release from jail, Wayne is expected to release Tha Carter IV, the follow-up to his multi-platinum 2009 album, Tha Carter III, which is currently responsible for landing the rapper on the wrong side of several lawsuits brought up by nearly all of the album’s collaborators for unpaid royalties.
