UPDATE: As of late Saturday, Lil Wayne is free on $10,000 bond.
TMZ has learned that rapper Lil Wayne was arrested early Saturday morning in Boise, Id.
Wayne, whose real name is Dwayne Michael Carter, Jr., was booked into the Ada County Jail by the Boise City Police around 7:30 AM MT this morning. The Sheriff's Department website indicated he was booked on felony charges of being a fugitive.
Boise cops tell TMZ Wayne was arrested immediately following his concert Friday night at Boise's Qwest Arena. We're told he was picked up on a felony warrant out of Fulton County, Ga., for a felony possession of drugs charge. Authorities from Georgia contacted Idaho police and gave them the heads up about the warrant.
Cops tell us he was very cooperative and was arrested without incident. He is now in protective custody pending an arraignment and extradition hearing, which will take place Monday afternoon.
Wayne was previously nabbed in July on a gun charge in New York, and in 2006 he was busted in Atlanta for drug possession.
Calls to Lil Wayne's publicist were not immediately returned. No other information is yet available.

Lil Wayne means little IQ boy - woops he forgot he was an Idaho fugative!!
Would someone just explain to me why all these thugs, rappers, animal abusers, wanna-be-famous beat up the beauty parlor chick end up in the slammer, huh?
I'm happy the sheriff is doing his job and locking these losers up right and left. The streets are safer for me and you people.
Lil Wayne & his tiny endowment of brain, etc. He thought he was in Ohio not Idaho.
Jail time puts a crimp on pimp time & ticket sales - Lil tiny IQ thought he was in Iowa!
3.
Rappers, thugs, etc aren't the only ones committing crimes. Get off your high horse. Why is it that when a rapper gets arrested it speaks for all of them, but when an actor or rock star gets arrested it doesn't speak for all of them????
Boise does not fool around - Lil slammer time for Wayne-boy - "slammer time" ... & the tears tat means he gang bangs & has lost home-boys ...
#3 the streets are SAFER because Lil' Wayne is in jail??? Wake up and watch Dateline- our streets are safer because the white child molestors are being put away one by one slowly but surely
7. Shut up Meg. Why is it your an idiot? Go read a ding dang book.
