Lil' Wayne ARRESTED!

Let me preface by saying this: I DID NOT want to like Lil' Wayne. When he first came on the scene in the late nineties with the Cash Money Clique they came out with a song called "bling bling".... Wayne was actually the one who coined this famous term. IN the song they were talking about how they come to different cities and basically roll on Ni**as-- for lack of a better term. I was offended because they were attacking NYC... Big no-no. However, his talent is undeniable. And I was sold in 1999 when he came out with the Best of Me freestyle to that Mya beat. Wayne is a young talent, with an old soul and witty punchlines. He was accidentally shot when he was 12, and came close to death so for that, I feel he is touched by some kind of mystic. It shows in his art (in my humble opinion). Today, he is now one of my favorites... That's why anytime I hear something like this it makes me sigh and shake my head...

Exclusively from idahostatesman.com there was news that Lil' Wayne got into some trouble.He was arrested on a felony warrant after performing in Boise, ID the Ada County Sheriff's office said last Saturday.
Lil Wayne ( Dwayne Michael Carter, Jr.), was arrested after his Friday concert at Qwest Arena and booked into the Ada County Jail on a felony fugitive to Idaho charge. Carter is wanted on a felony warrant from Fulton County, Georgia, to face a charge of possession of a controlled substance, Ada County jail officials said.

After his arrest, the jail was bombarded with dozens of angry phone calls from fans, concert promoters and others, said a jail deputy who didn't want her name to be used. Because he was arrested on a felony fugitive warrant, he was not eligible for bond. Carter was charged in court on Tuesday, the deputy said, and will be asked then if he plans to waive his extradition to Georgia.

An e-mail to Carter's publicist at Universal Music Group was not immediately returned. Carter has had previous brushes with the law, including a 2005 drug arrest in Atlanta. Carter's "Tha Carter II" album released in 2005 has sold about 2 million copies worldwide. He recently was voted "Hottest MC in the Game" by a panel at MTV.
