Lil Wayne has just pled guilty to attempted weapon possession in New York.
Wayne was busted on July 22, 2007 in NYC after police pulled over his tour bus because they allegedly smelled pot.
Cops say when an officer approached the bus, Wayne tossed a Louis Vuitton bag with a gun inside.
New York is known for having extremely tough gun laws -- Wayne is expecting to get 1-year behind bars.
Wayne's troubles are far from over.
The rapper still faces felony drug possession and weapons charges in Arizona ... after cops found 105 grams of marijuana, 29 grams of cocaine, 41 grams of ecstasy, various drug paraphernalia and a handgun on his tour bus during a traffic stop in Yuma County back in 2008.
Wayne pled not guilty to those charges -- his trial is set for March of 2010.
A hailstorm of stones and bottles rocked a Lil Wayne tour bus after a concert in Arizona last week -- and cops say at least one shot was fired in the melee.
According to police, it all went down after Wayne's show last Wednesday at the Cricket Pavilion in suburban Phoenix -- when 2 buses from his 4-bus entourage stopped at a nearby apartment complex.
Law enforcement sources tell us witnesses saw several women getting on and off the buses -- and it was then that certain people in the complex began to get violent.
Witnesses told police they heard at least one shot fired during the altercation -- though it's unclear who fired it.
Cops arrived to the scene and broke things up -- but we've learned a 15-year-old boy has since filed a police report claiming one of Wayne's bodyguards roughed him up during the chaos, bruising a few of his ribs.
Cops interviewed Wayne at a nearby hotel after the incident, where the rapper told cops he was on one of the buses when the attack started -- but his bus took off almost immediately.
Calls to Wayne's people have not yet been returned.
Rapper/Rihanna's sometimes BF Drake decided to hit the stage in New Jersey last night against doctor's orders. And hit the stage he did.
Drake collapsed while performing his hit song "Best I Ever Had" after his knee buckled underneath him. He had to be carried off stage and Lil Wayne had to finish the show himself.
Drake -- who already had a torn ACL and was not cleared by doctors to perform -- posted on his Twitter page that he will be getting surgery this week.
It certainly would have been cheaper to buy an alarm clock. Lil Wayne is being sued for nearly half-a-million bucks for sleeping when he should have been performing.
Red City Entertainment claims it fronted $432,000 for a Wayne concert appearance in the Bahamas. On September 27, 2008, there were plenty of lights and cameras... but no action, because Wayne was passed out in his hotel room. When he didn't show for the performance, cops went to his hotel and found him unconscious.
In the lawsuit filed today, Red City claims it gave Wayne a $210,000 advance. The balance is for his hotel expenses and various costs involved in throwing the failed concert.
Lil Wayne'slawyer went to court today ... ready to pull the trigger on the "bad dog" defense!
Weezy was busted in January 2008 at a border checkpoint in Arizona, where authorities found cocaine, ecstasy and a handgun on his tour bus. Wayne's lawyer told the judge he thinks the drug-sniffing dogs used in the bust may not have been reliable because they weren't adequately trained.
Why, you ask, does that matter? Well Mr. Wayne's lawyer seems to think if the dogs weren't reliable, the resulting search was illegal and the drugs shouldn't be used as evidence. Tough argument -- the dogs found coke.
The judge has yet to rule on whether Wayne's lawyer can probe into how the dogs were trained.
Lil' Wayne is officially off the hook for the painkillers and the weed cops say they found in Georgia -- but dude is still up to his tattooed neck in legal problems.
A Fulton County judge dismissed felony drug charges against Weezy yesterday after ruling he was the subject of an illegal search.
Wayne was arrested back in 2006 after Atlanta police said they found unmarked bottles of hydrocodone and Xanax along with two marijuana joints in a hotel room.
If you enjoy the musical stylings of Lil' Wayne, there's a high probability that you're a dumbass -- at least according to one brand new scientific study.
One of the smartest computer people on the planet -- Virgil Griffith -- has just released the results of a brand new study which showed a correlation between SAT scores and the musical tastes of college students.
Shockingly, people who enjoy listening to Beethoven scored significantly higher than everyone else. The people who enjoy listening to Lil' Wayne, however, were at the bottom of the intelligence chart -- just behind people who like Beyoncé and T.I.
But the most bizarre finding: People who dig the mid '90s soft rock drivel of Counting Crows scored incredibly high, just below Ludwig van. Now that's just stupid.
There are now 1.3 million reasons why Lil' Wayne shouldn't have ducked out of his scheduled concerts in Rochester, NY.
The promoter who was left holding the bag 3 times over the last 4 months filed suit against the rapper Friday in NYC.
Edward Strickland, GM of RMF Productions, is suing Wayne, his manager and others for $1.3 mil. Strickland says he advanced Lil' $100K back in October and got nothin'.
Strickland claims the last he heard from Wayne was via email canceling the third concert... which Lil' said was due to "logistics of his band." Translation: Lil' blew him off.
Some celebs actually love the game of football while others simply saw the word "bowl" next to the word "super" and wanted in. Either way it's a regular celeb-a-palooza in Tampa as some team from Arizona gears up to play that team with the black and yellow uniforms.
The city of Rochester, NY will not be flowing with lollipops tonight -- just a bunch of suckers who were once again hosed by Lil' Wayne.
24 hours before he was supposed to perform, Wayne pulled the plug on tonight's concert in Rochester -- the 3rd time he's flaked on the city in the last 4 months.
Wayne's people blame "the logistics of his band" because traveling from Rochester to Calgary -- where he's scheduled to perform on Thursday -- would be too difficult for the entire group.
The spurned concert promoter is considering filing a lawsuit against Weezy... which is probably the only way you'll ever see him in Rochester.
UPDATE:The promoter of the concert told TMZ he's giving Wayne and his people until tonight -- Thursday eve -- to figure out how to make things right or else he's taking "another course of action" -- a nice way of saying lawsuit.
Lil' Wayne has finally found something to keep his damn pants up -- a pair of chaps!
TMZ has learned the rapper will perform at the Country Music Awards tonight alongside Kid Rock. Wayne will be the first major hip-hop artist to take the stage at the CMAs.
Kid and Wayne performed together at the VMAs two months ago. Déjà vu!
No word if Carrie Underwood is going to be on the "Lollipop" remix.
Fool a concert promoter once, shame on you. Allegedly fool a concert promoter three times -- you're getting sued. Birdman -- the guy who runs Cash Money records -- is being sued for allegedly taking $275,000 to put on a Lil' Wayne concert in Miami ... and then backing out over and over again. Now the promoter wants his money back.
But the best part of the suit, filed today in L.A. Superior Court, is that Birdman is accused of backing out of one of the shows because "the weather was too cold." In Miami.
Meanwhile, Birdman was photographed giving Lil Wayne a briefcase filled with a million dollars in cash last week. Makes ya wonder...
File under the category of Rarer Sighting than Sasquatch. Lil' Wayne actually showed up for court today in New York. The guy who canceled a court appearance because of dental problems showed up for his weapons possessions case, even after he was partying 2,475 miles away after the VMAs in L.A.
We're told Mr. Lil' was "attentive" and "wide awake" -- meaning, he actually kept his eyes open.
Struggling to keep his eyes open, a trashed Lil' Wayne spewed some serious hate language in NY last night when he noticed one of the photographers trying to get a shot of him was a black guy.
Harvey Levin You're not the only one who thinks T.O. isn't doing that well this season... http://su.pr/5bNNfP
Donnie Wahlberg If you want it.... I GOT IT! http://bit.ly/Z7zkB
Donnie Wahlberg You never know who might show up.... http://bit.ly/3AhnEB
Sherri Shepherd Thanks everyone for going to see "Precious". It's breaking box office records. It'll be in more cities next week and more after that
Sherri Shepherd To all the Haters... geesh can you at least put a pic on your profile instead of those damn bird pictures. Ahhh what a great day. Smile
