Lil Wayne Arrested in Idaho

Lil WayneUPDATE: 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.

127. This is so sad, guess you play with fire sometimes you get burned, no pun nintended - heh - get it, burned? Wasn't that weed he's in trouble for? anyway...

But the insanely and shamelessly racist commentation I've seen on this story makes me wonder, is it time, now, I mean is it about TIME for some change in this county regarding race relations?? There is just way, way too much imbalance and racial stereotypical glad-bashing going on lately in the U.S. media against all minority races and whatever it is that they've been caught doing that's gloatworthy - or as we like to say in the P.C. manner, "news"-worthy. lately.

SO: How come nobody's making a huge effin' deal about that horrible 59 sexual-assault-havin' Republican-buddy-havin' fashion-designer wannabe rapist creepo whatshisname, and also that fat white slob who made boy-bands a big thing in this wonderful country while he was forcing the boys or messing with their minds to get into disgusting sodomic sex-situations with him?? What's his name -- that Perlman guy?? Or that fashion designer guy? See, am I wrong? Is that even his name, Perlman? It was something else, huh. Jesus. This trashpile has done such awful ish and yet his name is hardly on the news. But NOooooo, bag on the rapper with a friggin' gun and some weed, who hasn't raped a soul.

Now, speaking of rappers, DMX, (whom I never could stand and now I understand how come) on the other hand, and that Vick piece of garbage,(and I could give two ish'ts about football) can hopefully rot in terrible federal-prison-style painhell for the rest of their natural born lives for all I care - but that's got nothing whatsoever to do with race, it's got to do with dumb and cruel pieces of trash human beings. You guys have no idea how many disgusting "white-trash" men (and yes, women, too)from all over this beautiful country indulge in, and get away with, animal cruelty and sodomy and rape and incest to the EXTREME.

Things that make you go "Hmmmmmmm..."

But, I hate simple-minded knee-jerk crapola racism. Hate it. That's the stuff of destruction, right there. Racism and stubborn hatred.

128. Tell me, you white folks who "feel safer" that a weed smoking-pill popping rap star is off the streets. Do you feel any safer when the same thing happens more often when it is a rock star? I dont know what is worse, your hypocracy or your ignorance.

129. Wow so much haters, that why most of you don’t grow to be successful. You need to abort of self-hate and learn to appreciate life more. Fools

130. Wow... I have never seen such Hate on a blog page..... Over someone no one knows personaly. as an Idahoan I thought it was hillarious that someone knowingly had a warrant and went on tour without resolving the matter first, that is just asking for trouble and loss of money with all the refunded tickets for the next show.... Boise Cops dont give a rats ass who you are or what you do...its a good thing he didnt run or pull a gun cuz round here its Open season for the BPD....just look at the rate they are running down freeked out teenagers with unloaded none working guns.

133. You have got to be kidding me...

I just looked up reparation-WOW since it works that way, I am going to sue the designer of the poodle skirt for naming a skirt after a dog. And if he/she has passed away, next of kin will have to do. I didn't grow up in that generation but someone in my family did, so that will be my argument. Wish me luck

134. How did this blog started as Lil Wayne and became the validity of reparations.

135. First of all, has Lil Wayne ever attacked ya'll. Ya'll would think the man went on a mass killing spree the way ya'll talking. Half the people on this web-site smoke weed or drink way too much. So yee without dank (weed for the slow persons) or drank cast the 1st stone.
