Lil Wayne has finally been sent to jail for gun possession after being sentenced in a New York court.

The rapper will serve a year behind bars after being arrested back in 2007.

Weezy’s lawyer told reporters that he was likely to go to Riker Island prison in New York and be kept separated from other inmates.

Sentencing was delayed after because Wayne- real name Dwayne Carter- needed dental surgery.

The re-arranged hearing was then postponed because of a fire at the court house.

Lil Wayne recently revealed that he has recorded at least 10 music videos which will be released while he is in jail.
