Later Career; Larger Pockets Part 1

Lil Wayne was in the peak of his career. He was the President of a label, a Grammy award winning rapper, and the greatest rapper alive. Lil Wayne was caught smoking marijuana. He was taken into custody and then a loaded gun was found on him. In the later part of 2009, Dwayne Michael Carter Jr. plead guilty to attempted criminal possession of a weapon. This charge came from a 2007 incident where marijuana and a loaded gun was found on the rapper’s tour bus. His court dates were postponed two times. The first time was because Wayne was having dental surgery. The second time was because the court house basement was on fire. Lil Wayne received a one-year sentence in March 2010. He served his time at Rikers Island. While he was in jail, he released the eighth album of his rap career, “I am not a human being”. He released this album on September 27, 2010, which is Weezy’s birthday. It was not the extended or full version of the album. It was the LP version. Despite that, the album sold over 953,000 copies in the United States and had a huge hit single “Right Above It” featuring Drake. That single reached #6 on the charts. Lil Wayne was released on good behavior on November 4, 2010, after serving 8 months in prison. After being released from jail, Wayne was back on his grind. By that time, Wayne had fathered four children. He was the father of Reginae, Dwayne III, Cameron, and Neal Carter.
