Wayne is set to appear before Judge Solomon this afternoon and plead guilty to attempted gun possession. He's then expected to turn himself in immediately to begin his prison term. The rapper reached a deal with prosecutors in November to plead out to a lesser deal and in return he is expected to be released from prison as early as October of this year. In 2007, Lil Wayne was arrested for gun possession following his first headling performance in Manhattan at the Beacon Theater. A gun-possession charge in New York could have landed the Cash Money superstar behind bars for up to 15 years if he was convicted. Police did not find a weapon on the rapper when his tour bus was searched. Rather, the gun — registered to his manager — was in a bag located near the rapper, hence the attempted charge. Lil Wayne has been worinng in recent weeks to complete a number of videos and songs to stay relevant during his physical absence. Once the rapper lands behind bars, his days will be as regimented as his recording schedule — but will be maintained by the prison warden, not Lil Wayne. Lil Wayne is also still facing charges in Arizona, and his trial is set to begin there March 30.
