Posted on Nov 04, 2010 @ 09:29AM
Lil Wayne is a free man.
Wayne - whose real name is Dwayne Michael Carter Jr. - was released from New York's Rikers Island jail early Thursday, RadarOnline.com has learned, after serving eight months of a one-year jail sentence for admittedly keeping a loaded .40 caliber semi-automatic loaded gun on his tour bus in Manhattan three years ago.

Upon his release, the 28-year-old rapper was headed to Miami, where his friends will be holding a huge strip club party welcoming him back into the fold on Sunday, his reps told MTV.
The Grammy-winning hitmaker agreed to enter the guilty plea last October in exchange for a reduced 12-month sentence. Because of good behavior, he served just eight months.
While incarcerated, the rapper kept his presence known on a Web site called Weezythanxyou.com, in which he corresponded with fans and friends (through the Web site's administrators).
"I laughed with some of you, reasoned with some of you, and even cried with some of you," he wrote on the Web site Tuesday. "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."

The rapper’s biggest hit albums include Tha Carter, Tha Carter II and Tha Carter III.

Statistics say that when a woman pulls a gun on an intruder more often than not it is turned against her. May sound good in theory, but is not safe in reality.

Tell that to the Midwest City OK mom who shot and killed her intruder. Sounds like media hog wash from the antigun activists. Women who are raised around guns know how to defend themselves.

Hmm, apparently he has a felony and so is prohibited from having firearms. However, if he were in the country ILLEGALLY, we would give him food stamps, housing, education and medical care at tax payer expense and campaign 4 his voting "rights."

Really? Having a loaded weapon is absurd??? What planet are you from? Well I guess we should all be able to break the laws we don't agree with. Thinking like that is what lands a person in prison...

No, having a loaded weapon is good. Having and unloaded women is absurd. A mom in OKC just shot and killed a home invader a couple weeks ago. No telling what could have happened to her & her kids!

Ok, Lindsay Lohan has 2 DUI's and violates her probation not once, but 3 times (missing classes, scram bracelet and failed drug test), and gets 2 weeks in jail and he gets 8 months for carrying a gun? What is wrong here?

Yep, I guess Lil Wayne has a felony record which means you can't carry a gun.

The SCRAM wasn't part of her probation & for the failed drug test she was supposed to get 30 days in jail instead if she violates again before Feb 25th her probation is getting revoked and she is getting 180 days in jail.
