lil wayne released from prison

Weezy is free! Lil Wayne has finally been released from Rikers Island prison, after eight long months in prison.

Wayne is one of the best selling rappers in the world, selling millions of CDs and many concert tickets. Wayne had to brinh in his defense lawyers for lots of legal help after he was arrested in 2007 outside the Beacon Theater in NY for a frankly totally unnecessary gun charge from overzealous NY police.

Lil Wayne was released from the Rikers Island prison facility after serving eight months of a year-long sentence for attempted gun possession. Though a guard told MTV News early Thursday morning that he had to wait another day due to "miscalculated" time, at 8:35 a.m. a spokesperson at Rikers confirmed that Wayne had been discharged. In March, Lil Wayne turned himself in to New York authorities after he struck a plea deal in his case stemming from a 2007 gun arrest near the Beacon Theatre in Manhattan. The rapper and his entourage were leaving his first headline performance in the Big Apple when police pulled over his tour bus.
