• Update: Lil Wayne Serving Jail Time in General Population

    Tuesday Mar 9 11:54 AM CST posted by xxl staff

    Lil Wayne is a man of the people. Prior to yesterday’s (March 8) reports from tmz.com that Weezy would be serving out his one-year gun charge at Rikers Island under protective custody, it ends up that the rap superstar will be treated like any other inmate.

    According to New York’s Daily News Wayne’s lawyer, Stacey Richman, originally claimed that the rap superstar was being forced into protective custody. Stephen Morello, a spokesperson for the Correctional Department, cleared up those allegations, saying that the New Orleans-bred MC will have “general population escort” status. This means that whenever Lil Tunechi is outside of his housing unit, he will be accompanied by a correction captain; similar to how authorities handle gang members.

    Inside his housing unit, on the other hand, he has the option to socialize with the 17 other men sharing his cell block.

    Wayne was arrested in 2007 when a police officer boarded his tour bus, after smelling marijuana. Once inside the vehicle she caught the rapper with a .40 caliber handgun. Last October he entered a guilty plea in order to receive lesser jail time. He was sentenced and immediately shipped off to Rikers yesterday, after several failed attempts. With good behavior the Young Money general may be home in eight months. —Elan Mancini

    Wayne is a target and he might get touched as long as “fellow” bloods look out for him.

    @AZ40. Man, I was about to say the same thing. Practice what you preach. Weezy talk all that hardcore shit and then when he goes to jail, they’ll put him in protective custody. Now after it is stated in black and white and shit doesn’t sound “gangsta enough”, all of a sudden he’s gonna be in gen pop. Who are you foolin’. And because of the young boi status (rap star, Blood?, asshole!!!),he ‘ll be right in protective custody with Plaxico Buress.

    Amen brothas…

    This is a bogus story to put Wayne in a tough light. I don’t belive it.

    Let’s use our heads here everyone Gangsters, hip hoppers, skaters, potheads anyone. We’ve seen the you tube videos about jail and we know folks thats been in the box plus some commenters on here have been knocked.

    Lil Wayne will be beaten to death if he’s with the population. Gang leaders have it hard in the joint and rapes and extortion happen to anyone. Don’ give me that shit that a false flagger like Waynes going to be with the Bloods.

    Lil Wayne in gen pop? GTFOOH

    It’s lol to try to make people think that.

    There a documentary on Rikers Island about the slashers in there and how niggas get buzy. Yall N.Y. niggas know the biz so we know Lil Wayne is not going to be stuck with the knuckle heads.

    I enjoy Lil Wayns music and hip hop fantasy life…I won’t insult my brain thinking Lil Waynes is housed with the goons.

    Lol come on stop….my stomach hurts.

    Only nigga that served in gen pop for real is Tony Yayo.

    that nigga says:

    Yeah, those Rikers Island stories are very real, no sugar coating involved. And just for a rep, he will mos def be a target for a 150 ‘cross his cheek. And, If he’s a real Blood why does he need a Captains escort around the gen pop? Thats the same as being in PC!!

    man some of you posters on here are straight dickheads. as if lil wayne or anyone associated with him has the power to influence a news reporting publication to knowingly publish a falsehood.

    it states very clearly in the above story what his housing situation will be like on Rikers Island. he’s in a cell block with 17 other inmates.. NOT PC. when he leaves that housing unit, he’s accompanied by what amounts to a glorified CO. the report comes directly from the Correctional Dept.. not from lil waynes street team.

    stop speculating… yall dudes are plain disgusting sometimes.. either that or idiots with no reading comprehension skills.

    the difference is clear.

    PC involves some degree of solitary confinement.

    Wayne will be housed with 17 other inmates, which is not solitary confinement.

    Here’s some food for thought from another perspective. Think about Shawshank Redemption:

    A load of people profitin off of being corrupt in jail. The LAST thing they wanted was any type of publicity to shine light on their dirt.

    Same thing in this case, its in the Jail’s best interest for nothin to happen to Wayne, to avoid any big time story and subsequent investigstion diggin up some other shyt.

    @yoprince- I feel what u sayin b but honestly at the statis of where wayne is at an his “friends” trust me if he REALLY wanted 2 his ppl could tell a false story 2 the news reporters u act like news casters r brain surgeons them niggas just want the hottest story 2 push they ratings up mind u look at the bullshit xxl mag puts up besides have u ever researched the mafia?? them niggas had newspaper and other sources of media on lock also it says a “spokesperson” for the facility doesn’t mean the actual CO or any other guard working there who know it could even be the counslor that man has 2 see in there

    March 9th, 2010
    at 10:46 pm

    yoprince says:

    really??

    so that’s your argument?

    you believe that wayne had his “friends” convince the New York Daily News to publish a story stating he was in general population when in reality he’s serving time in PC? on top of that, you hypothesize that wayne’s “friends” also coordinated some way for this spokesperson for the Corrections Dept. Stephen Morello to further corroborate the story??

    you sir, have a vivid imagination.

When asked about the experience, hip hops first openly gay rapper simply replied “its not Birdman’s, but it’ll suffice.”

    More to come as this story develops…

    What moron wants to be in general population? Prison isn’t a vacation. Last place I want to go is Gen Pop at RIKERS ISLAND. Negro Please. People love to say Keep it Real and I am going to do just that. If I had to choose between a year there [or any other prison besides a "country club" facility] or being shot to death… I’d say bring on the bullets. For some reason Cats out here forget that when you have money you can HIRE somebody to carry FOR YOU.

    To the topic - Weezy in Gen-Pop is a funny thought. All that fucking yappin this nigga does ain´t gonna help his sorry ass in jail. Weezy is easy prey for niggas doing 25-life. Who dont wanna be the dude who stomped the shit ouf a famous rapper like Weezy? Hes gonna have it sweaty being surrounded by real OGs/crips/bloods.

    He sure better use that protection of his, goon nigga.

    Real type, if you’re the man why would you need an escort? That will make n*ggas more aggie than ever. Other cats will need them ‘I touched Wayne’ points to survive inside.

    Until the WARDEN says the deal, I’m going with my experience. I spent 4 months of my life in there over a picture. Son would have been better doing PC than existing with a CO bodyguard in GP.
