US rapper, Lil Wayne has pled guilty in federal court for illegally possessing a loaded weapon while traveling to Miami on a private jet.
According to TMZ, anonymous tip led federal agents to Wayne’s Private Jet at the Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport on December 23, 2019, and when they boarded to speak to the passengers … Wayne told them he had a gun in his bag.
Police say they found a gold-plated Remington 1911, .45-caliber handgun loaded with 6 rounds of ammunition. They also claim they found a bag containing personal use amounts of cocaine, ecstasy, and oxycodone.
Lil Wayne pled guilty to the gun charge Friday in Miami, and his sentencing is scheduled for next month. Weezy, who was convicted of a felony gun charge in NY back in 2009, is now facing up to 10 years in prison.
However, he’s likely to get leniency. Our sources say Wayne agreed to the guilty plea and in exchange, the government agreed to recommend a lighter sentence because he’s accepting responsibility. Ultimately, his sentence will be up to a judge, but it’s a good sign for Tunechi.
