Lil Wayne Gets Solitary Confinement for Using MP3 Player

By PopEater Staff Posted Oct 5th 2010 11:22AM

With just about a month left in prison, prodigy rapper Lil Wayne will be forced into solitary confinement because he got caught listening to music.

Wayne will serve the rest of his jail sentencing in solitary confinement due to illegally listening to music on an MP3 player back in May, the New York Post reports.

The hip-hop phenom, AKA Dwayne Carter, will remain by himself in a solitary jail cell 23 hours a day until he finishes his sentence for gun possession on Nov. 4. He'll only be let out for medical and hygiene purposes. Weezy will spend his one hour of recreation time without any fellow inmates.

Lil Wayne is set to be released from prison early, after beginning his sentence in February. He was convicted for illegal possession of a loaded gun that was found on his tour bus at the Beacon Theater in New York City in 2008.

Weezy dropped his eighth studio album, 'I Am Not a Human Being,' from behind bars on Sept. 27. The record, recorded prior to his jail sentence, began as a digital-only release. It will hit stores in CD form on Oct. 12. Rolling Stone wrote of the album: "Jailbird or civilian, human or moon man, Lil Wayne is pop's most reliable deliverer of unadulterated fun. He's also the greatest rapper alive."

Why did Lil Wayne decide to get into recording rap music
with auto tune, when he can't even do auto tune justice
in any of his songs, because he either can't sing the
lowest notes, or Lil Wayne just plain can't sing? It's
all too appearent in his latest. "I'm Single". He's
certainly not an Oakridge Boy, but I would suggest that
Lil Wayne start doing more rapping, and less singing.

Why is listening to music against the rules in jail?Wouldnt that calm prisoners down and give them something to do other than screw each other or kill each other?

By Outlaw Josey Wales

Prison is supposed to be a punishment, not a perk. Bread, water and hard labor is all they should get. Not be able to cut an album while serving time.

How did he even get the MP3 in jail. Seems like he got the perks and broke the rules with inside help! And by the way, his so-called music stinks!

By Roo

Greatest rapper alive? What a joke. . . I admit the music itself is good, but his raps make no sense whatsoever. And to be honest, his voice is fricking annoying.

Whatever. Let him spend his time in jail. At least he's not getting off as easily as all the other celebs do.

Lawd, Lawd... This is a sham, a mockery, a debacle! This is absolutely ridiculous! He listened to music in prison - probably illegally downloaded! I think he should've gotten the death penalty or life in prison!!!

Your an absolute IDIOT. Learn how to spell and get a life! DIRTBAG.. Life in prison or the death penalty for listening to music get real.

Lawd, Lawd... Amanda close your mouth because you are obviously a mouth breather. "Lawd, Lawd" is spelled incorreclty on purpose. Are you so dumb that you can't recognize clear sarcasm??? Oh, you may not know what that means. I was exaggerating because I too think it's ridiculous for him to get any extra jail time at all for merely listening to music. Therefore, Amanda, you are the IDIOT!
