Lil Wayne Expected to get 1-year in Jail
Lil Wayne
US rapper Lil Wayne faces a year in prison after pleading guilty to gun charges arising from a 2007 arrest.
The 27-year-old admitted attempted criminal possession of a weapon in a plea deal and will be sentenced at New York State Supreme Court in February.
The rapper - born Dwayne Michael Carter Jr - was arrested in July 2007 when a gun was found on his tour bus after a hip-hop concert in Manhattan.
His sixth album Tha Carter III was the best-selling album in the US in 2008.
The record won best rap album at the Grammy awards in February, where Lil Wayne picked up three other prizes.
Though, most people think his career will actually be enhanced, since the jail time will improve his street cred and he has recorded enough material to continue to release albums in his absence.
