Lil Wayne is a free man for another three weeks. On Tuesday, a judge agreed to allow the rapper to have dental surgery, delaying his sentencing on a gun charge until Mar. 2. He's expected to serve a year in New York's infamous Riker's Island prison.
Wayne (a.k.a. Dwayne Carter) was arrested on July 22, 2007 after police boarded his tour bus and found pot and a gun. He pled guilty to the gun charge last year.
While in jail, another legal case involving Wayne will be heard in an Arizona court, stemming from the bus bust on Jan. 22, 2008 when border police discovered a large stash of drugs (3.75 ounces of marijuana, 29 grams of cocaine, 41 grams of Ecstasy, $22,000 and a gun) during a search. He was charged with felony counts of possession of dangerous drugs, possession of a narcotic for sale, possession of paraphernaila and misconduct involving weapons.
While he awaits sentencing, Wayne has had time to attend the Super Bowl and pose for the cover of Rolling Stone. In the interview, Wayne says he no longer drinks sizzurp (cough syrup mixed with soda), but is quick to admit, "I smoke weed everyday."
Writer Chris Norris, perhaps playing devil's advocate, asks if he's addicted to marijuana.
"I'm a very successful addict," Wayne replies. "And a very smart one. And a very charismatic one. And one that just won four Grammys, and one that sold a million records in a week. One that still appears on everybody's songs., one that still sounds better than any rapper rapping. One that has four kids and is the greatest father ever to the kids. What am I addicted to, being great?"
