Rapper Lil’ Wayne pleaded guilty this past Thursday to a felony attempted possession of an illegal weapon charge. According to MTV.com, the Grammy Award winner will serve up to 12 months in prison due to New York’s strict gun laws.

However, this number is drastically reduced compared New York’s mandatory 3 year sentence for felony possession. This is due to the fact that Lil’ Wayne was not in direct possession of the weapon at the time of the arrest. Lil’ Wayne’s lawyer commended Lil’ Wayne for taking responsibility for the weapon even though it wasn’t his.

One of the most prolific artists of this generation, Lil’ Wayne is often referred to as “The Greatest Rapper Alive.” Maybe, the 10 months he is expected to serve in prison will give him a nice little vacation.
