[picappgallerysingle id=”7773264″]What a week it’s been for Lil Wayne. The New Orleans native celebrated a Saints Super Bowl victory. He celebrated what he thought would be his last days of freedom before spending up to a year behind bars. He shot nine music videos in 48 hours. And he was granted an adjournment of his prison sentence for weapons possession after he showed up to his hearing with a messed up mouth.
Talk about fast times on a sizzurp high…
Weezy thought he was going to be put away for a long time when he invited friends, family and random stars to his Super Bowl celebration-slash-going away party at Miami’s Dolce nightclub. The 27-year-old rapper, real name Dwayne Carter, had plead guilty to possessing a loaded handgun on his tour bus in 2007. He was scheduled to begin serving a one year sentence less than two days after his Saints swiped the title from Peyton Manning and the favorite Colts.
But the gold-toothed hip-hop star was saved by the dentist’s drill. At least for now.
On Tuesday, Wayne’s attorney asked a New York judge to delay the rapper’s jail sentence until he recovers from surgery to repair a cracked tooth (cough cough Diamonds Must Be Removed From Teeth). Wayne didn’t say a word during the hearing, and judge Charles H. Solomon agreed to give him a pass until March 2.( I do remember weezy once told TV interviewer Jimmy Kimmel that his jewel-encrusted teeth had cost him $150,000).
Wayne will now return to Miami, where he’ll undergo oral surgery on Friday and require a week to heal.
But if we know Weezy, then we know sitting tight and recovering isn’t all he’ll be doing over the next few weeks.
