Rapper, LIL WAYNE, real name DWAYNE MICHAEL CARTER, was lead away on Monday in handcuffs from a New York court to begin his 1 year jail sentence for his weapons charges. LIL WAYNE pleaded guilty in October 2009 after a .40 calibre pistol was found on his tour bus.

YBF.com reported that “He is going to be in protective custody, because of who he is,” his lawyer Stacy Richman said.  ”He did not want to, but the department of correction said it’s mandatory. He cannot be with other detainees.”

This was LIL WAYNE’s last tweet from his twitter page:

“Law is mind without reason. ……………..I’ll return.”

The rapper’s lawyer, STACEY RICHMAN, stated that WAYNE “would be detained at New York’s Rikers Island jail complex, but would be separated from the general prison population for his safety.”

“He is going to be in protective custody, because of who he is,” Richman said. “He did not want to, but the department of correction said it’s mandatory. He cannot be with other detainees.”
