Lil Wayne Hit With Federal Weapons Charge, Faces Max Sentence of 10 Years If Convicted

Lil Wayne has received a federal weapons charge in connection with a December 2019 plane search in Florida.

Per TMZ, who reported on the charge on Tuesday afternoon, the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida has charged Weezy with one count of possession of a firearm and ammunition by a convicted felon. If convicted, the sentence could be as high as 10 years. A court appearance is slated for December.

With the plane's search, which occurred ahead of its final stop in California, Miami-Dade police were acting on what the Miami Herald said at the time was "a tip about weapons and marijuana." Federal agents were alerted in order to secure a search warrant to give the private plane a look at Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport.

In a statement Complex on Tuesday, Weezy's attorney Howard Srebnick explained that his client has been charged for "possessing a gold-plated handgun" in his luggage while traveling on the plane. Srebnick also highlighted the fact that there is "no allegation that he is a dangerous person."

Here's the statement in full:

Carter is charged with possessing a gold-plated handgun in his luggage on a private plane. There is no allegation that he ever fired it, brandished it, used it or threatened to use it. There is no allegation that he is a dangerous person. The charge is that because he was convicted of a felony in the past, he is prohibited from possessing a firearm.

Although the Supreme Court has not yet decided the constitutional question, Justice Amy Coney Barrett recently wrote an appellate dissenting opinion in which she stated that “Absent evidence that he either belongs to a dangerous category or bears individual markers of risk, permanently disqualifying from possessing a gun violates the Second Amendment."

In 2009, Weezy—whose 2020 creative output has included Funeral and the non-album singles "Thug Life" and "NFL"—pleaded guilty to a felony gun charge and ultimately served eight months.

At least for this latest transgression. I know he got a long line of bullshit.

that poor child never stood a chance. Lets forgive the lad.

I'm not running to burn down his house. he made his choices about who he wants to run with, if he wants to undo those he can start with actions. 'til then i don't know that man

chess not checkers lol.

he was shuckin and jivin for a pardon. and he'll probably get it. crazy.

at least get something for it.

Lot of these niggas out here cooning for attention only.

Herman Cain literally died as result of showing support for Trump and barely got recognized for it, yet a legit felon toting a **golden** gun in his luggage could get a Presidential pardon.

That would be morbidly funny.

The way this year has been going, it'll probably happen.

Did Wyclef make a big donation?

but I think it was partly as result of other's vouching for him and writing letter to Dubya. I remember Carly Simon being one of those individuals.

Hatch is of course the ultra-conservative former Senator of Utah. They all went to Exeter together. Carly Simon took up Forte's case and lobbied Hatch pretty hard. Then Hatch vouched for Fore to Dubya.

I feel as if only hunters should own guns though

Waow brain really must be jelly mush at this point.

Rap years are different.

You mature at 1/2 the rate of a normal human when you get rich in your teens.

Why do you think they talk about Zuckerberg like he’s still 18. “Oooh, he had on a suit that one time while addressing Congress”

Earn pressuring Paper Boi to meet with Trump to get a pardon.


Paper Boi: Man, I ain't meeting that fool!!!
Earn: "It's just a meeting. Shake his hand, smile, and take a picture. That's it.
Paper Boi: That's it?
Earn: Yea...that's it.


Two weeks later:

Trump: I have partnered with Paper Route Boy to *insert something outrageously offensive*

Paper Boi: *scowls at Earn*
