Lil Wayne finally began his sentence today after sentencing was postponed twice. The rapper will serve his sentence in city jails, not a state prison. He could be released in about eight months with good behavior. City jail officials haven’t said where the multiplatinum-selling artist will be housed among their roughly 13,000 inmates. His lawyer has said she plans to ask for protective custody out of concern for his safety and health following his extended oral surgeries.

Man, its kind of sad to see the officer handcuff him. I’m sure that’s when reality really sets in.

He has plenty of support from his fans and family of course, and lots of music on deck to keep his fans entertained.
