Lil Wayne is doing all that he can to maintain in jail. Apparently that includes working on his music without regard to the rules of his prison.

According to the Village Voice, Wayne was caught yesterday (May 11) at Rikers with unauthorized earphones and a charger hidden inside of the garbage can in his cell. An MP3 player that went along with it was found hidden in the cell of another inmate.

In an interview earlier this year Weezy told Rolling Stone that he planned to keep working in prison: “I’ll have an iPod, and I’ll make sure they keep sending me beats.”

As previously reported, a prison guard at Rikers Island, was fired last month for allegedly spying on Lil Wayne. According to New York’s Daily News, Negron is preparing a federal suit against New York City. She claims that union big wigs made her say that she was gawking at the New Orleans superstar, while on the job. —Brooklyne Gipson
