Lil' Wayne To Be Sentenced Today (February 9) For Gun Possession

Lil' Wayne is due to appear in court in New York today to be sentenced for gun possession.

The rapper, real name Dwayne Carter, is expected to be handed a maximum one-year sentence as part of a plea deal.

But that could be reducded to eight months with good behaviour.

Lil' Wayne pleaded guilty to attempted gun possession at a court hearing last October.

He was arrested in July 2007 when police found him trying to conceal a .40 calibre semi-automatic loaded handgun on his tour bus.

The rapper said recently that he was “looking forward” to beginning his prison sentence.
