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.

Plaxico Burress just won a delay in his gun case.
Today's hearing was set for pre-trial issues but Burress' lawyer said he needed more time. The judge agreed to push the court date back to June 15.
There have been reports that Plaxico is trying to plea bargain the second-degree gun possession felony charge. If convicted, Plax could get up to 15 years in prison.
Look for a plea bargain ...

Less than one week after Yoko Ono's driver was arrested for allegedly trying to extort his famous boss, a New York state Supreme Court Justice decided that Koral Karson is a flight risk and jailed the 50-year-old chauffeur without bail.
Karson, who is originally from Turkey, was considered a flight risk because of his international ties and questionable immigration status.
Sporting a blue blazer and wearing handcuffs, Karson pleaded not guilty to charges he tried to "steal property" that "exceeded $1 million." Police sources tell TMZ that Koral Karson allegedly told Yoko that he had photos and tapes of the Beatle widow that were highly embarrassing -- and that for $2 million, the tapes would never surface. Ono had other ideas, and called the cops.
If convicted, Karson could face anywhere from 5 to 15 years in prison.
During his arrest, Karson claimed that Ono pressed charges "to stop me from pursuing a sexual harassment case." Yoko's camp called the allegation "completely false."
Karson is due back in court January 11.
