Lil Wayne, 27, who won best rap album at the 2009 Grammy Awards and whose real name is Dwayne Carter, agreed to a plea deal with prosecutors and will be sentenced at New York State Supreme Court in February.
Prosecutors said a gun was found in his tour bus in July 2007. Rapper Ja Rule was arrested separately on similar charges after a hip hop concert in New York where both men performed.
Ja Rule, whose real name is Jeffrey Atkins, pleaded innocent and a trial date has not yet been set.
Carter had convinced the court earlier to delay his trial date to accommodate his performing schedule.
I guess it takes more effort then putting on a suit to get freed of jail time...sorry Weezy...:(
