Lil Wayne Confirms Contraband Reports, Says “I’ll Be Home Soon”

    Last week, it was reported that Lil Wayne‘s Rikers Island cell was found with musical contraband – an MP3 player and unauthorized headphones. The CEO of Young Money Records permitted a rare recording of a phone interview with friend and The Nino Brown Story collaborator, DJ Scoob Doo.

    Within the brief call, Wayne confirmed those reports. “They tried to bang me with that,” said the emcee, referring to the reprimand. “But I can’t live without my music, Scoob. You know how it is, man. I needed my music.” Lil Wayne did not speak on whether he was or will be punished for the infraction. Reports stated that the music player was confiscated immediately.

    Speaking about his living conditions on Rikers Island, the multi-platinum Rap veteran said, “I’m coolin’, I’ll be home soon.” Perhaps due to his and DJ Scoob Doo’s previous title, Wayne compared himself to the protagonist of the film, New Jack City. “It’s Nino Brown; I got the penthouse here at Riker’s. I got my feet up, ya smell me?”

    If his one-year sentence is reduced to the reported eight months for good behavior, Lil Wayne could be a free man as early as November. During Wayne’s sentence, his label’s biggest artist, Drake, is expected to release his official full-length debut, Thank Me Later, presently due to release next month.

      ^^ This nigga Wayne definitely ain’t in GP. Since when do prisons have “penthouses”? I ain’t hatin’ tho, I’d want the same thing if I went in. Money talks, bullshit gets shanked in Gen. Pop.

    2. why is dx posting news about this man every day? just be in jail and stfu and stay there until you get out. stop talking, and maybe we’ll miss you when you get out.

      1. Quit bitchin about what DX is writing. If you were writing columns, we’d all be reading about how your mom dropped an oreo in front of the TV yesterday.

        Homo.

    3. I’m pretty sure Nino was the antagonist not the pro. But yeah Wayne can “chill” in there for a lil longer, maybe after Mystikal takes back over New Orleans

    4. Stop haten On Weezy.. You tell me whos maken More money even sitn in jail.. I mean really… numbers talk… I dont understand why everybody hates him so Much.. Jealous are we? Ur wasten your time…get a Life, You dont like him yet Your ready to waste time haten on him lmao…funny…

      1. You equate opinion to jealousy?

        Yeah its easy to say “don’t click” when its someone we like, but some people want to give their opinion whether negative or positve and who are we to stop them?

        Does “hating” on Wayne really effect your life like that?

      2. I don’t think most people are hating on the dude like yall think. It’s like this, if you tell me the sky is red when it’s clearly blue I’m gonna throw up the BS flag. People are saying this guy is the greatest rapper alive, that’s a joke. People are saying he’s the highest paid rapper, that’s another joke. Some clowns are even calling this dude the greatest of all time, ROFL. Come on get serious. Biggie’s ready to die cd is better than all Lil Waynes albums and mixtapes combined. When Lil Waynes career is over he’ll be lucky if he’s mentioned in the top 20. That’s just the truth.

    5. Its not even comparable theres alot more artist that make more money than wayne for example 50 cent makes way more money than wayne each year

      1. except that cash money is in the oil business, and the only way fifty can get money is to sue taco bell for havng 50 cent tacos, plus wayne makes money off of drake and nicki. Shit i forgot 50 is pulling bank from lloyd banks, fuck outta here…wayne stacking them caucasians

      2. No one in the oil industry has ever heard of their oil company. Just because Baby said it, don’t make it true. Plus Fif got the Vitamin Water (reportedly 400 mil). Baby known for not paying, just lacing with car, clothes, jewelery, and a few houses. I could care less about any of these nuccas pockets, but I can’t stand fanboys talking out there ass!

    9. I’m pretty sure this coon nigga needs to serve his full sentence. Making a mockery of procedures like banned items and saying he’s “chillin in jail with feet up”. Should have given this fag a sentence like they did Prodigy, see how long her continues to shuck n jive.

      1. in the begginning the state said they were going to let him have all that. it was only the headphones that were not allowed. dont believe everything you read. money talks. where the fuck have u been?

      2. I HATE THAT LITTLE FAGGOT TOO,BUT THOSE STUPID SUBURBAN WHITE KIDS WILL EAT HIS NEXT CD UP BECAUSE HE’S GONNA COME OUT THINKIN HE’S PAC.PAC WAS A REAL NIGGA LIL WAYNE IS A HOMO,HE’S THE REASON WHY NIGGAS IS IN TIGHT PANTS WITH CHAINS ON EM,WHEN CASH MONEY 1ST CAME OUT I WENT UNDERGROUND NEVER LIKED HIM.I HAVE A HUGE”HIP HOP” CD COLLECTION (NO BOOTLEGS,NO BURNS)I OWN NO CASH MONEY CDS BECAUSE I LOVE HIP HOP.WAYNE AIN’T HIP HOP,FLO-RIDA AIN’T HIP HOP,PLIES AIN’T HIP HOP,SHIT JAY-Z USED TO BE BUT HE THINKS HE’S BIGGER THAN HIP HOP.P.S EVERY RAPPER FROM FLORIDA IS WEAK(EXCEPT TRICK DADDY AND SMITTY)PLIES MAKES LUKE’S MUSIC SOUND LIKE BEETHOVEN.BY THE WAY THANKS FOR SAYING HE’S A COON.I CALL IT COON HOP OR JIGGABOO HOP.TODAY’S MAINSTREAM RAP(NOT HIP HOP)MAKES US BLACK PEOPLE LOOK IGNORANT.THERE’S NO EMOTION,NIGGAS IS STILL SLAVES RAPPIN ABOUT CHAINS AND WHIPS

    10. @psykhotic
      im fuckin white but i do live in the city, regardless I HATE LIL WAYNE so get off the white mans dick, fucker… the main ones i see listen to him are the wanna be thug mexican and black kids im seein in the park and the occasional white boy drivin down the street thinkin hes the shit.

      i read the title and it said “contraband” at rikers and i thought wayne had done somethin badass for once like makin a shank or some shit. now i read the article and the contraband is a fuckin mp3 player hahaha waynes a fuckin pussy ass bitch

    11. Wayne is the shit tell me a more real rapper…..Pac? NOPE. BIG?,…..Nope. Wayne? HMMMM. Yea mutha fucka….Was shot robbing a bank at age 5. How the fuck is that not gangsta??? this mutha fucka robbin bitches / niggas at that age, got caught up. took 5 shots, came back STRONG ……whut up.

      1. He robbed a bank when he was in kindergarten? Yeah, probably stole all the candy out of the bowl at the secretary’s desk. And if I remember correctly, he shot himself, which I very find rather stupid.

      2. He shot himself, thats not gangsta. He was signed at like age 12 so all that dope slangin’ talk is just talk. Your a brainwashed child.

      3. heres a FACT MOTHERFUCKER! wayne shot himself in the stomach on accident at age 12… what a stupid shit…. thats the only shot he ever took!

    12. I dont get how people can have so much hatred towards wayne. Numbers dont lie man…he is exactly what the definition of a great hip hop artist is. He’s catchy, he’s witty, quick, and he still doesnt forget where he comes from. He sells, he gets the crowd goin, he’s an energetic cat that does what he does best. Hip Hop purists who basically live for getting on DX and bashing people for liking him need to sit back and realize it doesnt do n e good to bitch and complain cuz nothing is going to change. Youre still gonna hear Wayne this and Wayne that until dude dies. He’s a popular artist who falls under the rap/hip-hop genre. Pac was mainstream and so was biggie and everybody rides their nuts like seabiscuit. Purists do me a favor…worry bout the new tech n9ne album or pharoah monch album cuz trust me they need all the support they can get. Especially when these artist or “emcee’s” that u all praise like the rap gods, DO NOT SELL RECORDS! THEY SUCK! THAT’S WHY PEOPLE DON’T LISTEN OR PAY ATTENTION TO THEM! And as far as the whole mp3 player thing…Riker’s is real fucked up for not letting him have the shit. I mean it’s lil’ fucking wayne. Him without music is like Bobby without coke or T-Pain without auto-tune….it just don’t make no damn sense…..Ite now I can exhale.

      1. @asruggs

        Biggie and Pac where mainstream, I agree with you on that, but lets be real, these dudes could spit, and even purist and old school mc’s agree with that. Lil Wayne is a whole other story, the man just isn’t a great rapper. I think Lil Wayne is hip hop’s sign of how low it has fallen. I give the dude props for goin out there, gettin money, and everything, but popularity and sales don’t make you a great rapper, I mean Vanilla Ice was popular and sold cd’s too. When it’s all said and done, you want to put out music that people will still be bumpin 10 years after you die. As much as I respect the mans hustle, he’s no where near the level of an all-time great hip hop artist, period.

      2. Oh the mighty numbers argument. So if you move units, then you are a great hip hop artist? It means you are successful, but not necessarily great. Vanilla Ice moved units, Hammer moved units, Young MC moved units, and Nelly moved units, so they should all be put into the upper echelon of hip hop artists. All listed above are no talent ass clowns, but they moved units, so they are the best. Hip Hop is an art form that is so organic in nature that you can’t quantify it. It evolves at such a rapid pace that the true essence is lost. Wayne is pop(ular) to say the least. Hip hop is a term that should be loosely associated with him. Shit Kid Rock went from Rap, to Rock, to Country and its all pop. Wayne isn’t an MC by any stretch of the imagination. So your arguments basically says, Talib Kweli, Sean P., Mos Def, Bishop Lamont, Ras Kass, Scarface, Monch, N9ne, Common, Buckshot, Slaughterhouse, and the list goes on, all SUCK, because they don’t move units. Nevermind that all stated above are lyrical monsters and/or spit thought provoking commentary of whats going on in the world all while making it rhyme. You get the “C’mon son” for that. Rikers fucked up for not letting Wayne have an mp3 player. Who the fuck is Wayne, when did he ever have pull? Not like the nigga is King Tito or OG Mac up there in Rikers. Umm hello, he’s in jail. Rikers is a holding jail anyway. Not like he is up in Elmira or something. He’s not even in GP, he got his feet up, yep he’s right, because he is protected. He is fabricated figure. This jail term is his “legitimacy”. You all are sheep, following the herd. Next thing you know if Wayne comes out of jail all clean and starts talking about being healthy and watching his cholesterol, everybody will either a.) Become health food nuts or b.) Stop fucking with him because he ain’t a “real nigga” no more. Oh hes a nigga alright, from his nigga lyrics to his nigga style. He’s a coon, a jiggaboo, and a porch monkey all rolled into one. I used to want this nigga to live a long time even though that means we would have to still hear his music, just so I didn’t have to see a t-shirt with him, Pac, Pun, and BIG on it, but now, I’m starting to think a nice shanking would be a good look for him. Be interested to see who all you Wayne Stans will then gravitate too. Oh yeah, Drake. SMH.

      3. I feel bad for the black community. The people who have any kind of substance get ignored, while the coons are praised. You got Spike Lee who has put out great films like Malcolm X, and Do the right thing, but black people haven’t been supporting the man. Yet Tyler Perry can come out with some coonery, and bafoonery and black people will run out in flocks. The same thing is happening in hip hop. Hip hop is trash today. Find me one rapper that can even come close to rapping how Biggie did that is around today. Where are the Big Pun’s, Big L’s, and all the other tight lyracist at? Hip Hop’s golden age has passed, it’s in the dark age right now.

      4. Great success comes with great hate,Look at eminem,50 cent,and Lil wayne.they recieve so much hate

      5. Hangman:

        So basically, you’re saying George Bush was a successful president since he got so much hate?

    13. I don’t like waynes music at all but i respect him as a person in the music business,he obviously loves what he does and it is almost impossible for him to live without his music so what’s wrong with having and ipod (I guess he probably could use the head phone plug as a shank)

    16. Wayne isnt in GP… My homeboys wifey works in RYkers…. She said is in PC with 2 guards within arms reach at all times…

      HIPHOP has been supressed by the powers that be…. they dont want 50 million angry black people fucking shit up all of a sudden because some rapper made a song with knowledge rythym and power…. fuck the establishment!!!!!

      http://www.datpiff.com/Premium_The_Hip_Hop_Bailout.m93550.html

      1. You’re absolutely right. My homeboy is a CO at Riker’s, and he said exactly the same. Also, by policy, Riker’s doesn’t place high-profile inmates in GP.

    17. chillin with his feet up writing some more elementary, hipster r&b bullshit songs, that repeat words over and over, and have absolutely no substance. wayne is not hip hop, he is what the machine wants him to be.

    18. I’m gonna keep it real I fucks wit Lil Wayne. When the hot boys came out dat was my nigga that was the real Lil Wayne. IDK somewhere along the way shit changed so the nigga gotta change with the times to stay relevant. But to all yall niggas that think Lil Wayne is some kinda gangsta rapper yall must have been sippin that shit he had in that cup with him.
      The nigga sittin in PC all cozy laughin at yall dumb fucks eating this shit up. Remember any publicity is good publicity. He ain’t no real G cause a real nigga moves smart and wouldn’t have got caught with that ratchet. Pac was a real nigga he did his time and kept it real. That shit was a learning experience for that man, he came out of jail and put it down for real hip hop heads. All this nigga wayne is a good story-teller that’s all. But that is all that rap is now a bunch of niggas tellin lies and wayne is the best story-teller alive.

    19. lol im here boston mass 617 alday boston celtics champs 2010 holla

    20. Woooww all I can say is its a lot of old ass fucks on here that’s still wishing these old rappers were still out….SMH mmm mmm.. yall know lil wayne has the rap game on lock so stop hating. It gets people like u no where. And I bet u people who say u dont like him are the main ones buyin his shit. So stop tryin to live in the past. With all respect Biggie and Pac not coming back and I damn sure doubt that they would be as hot as wayne is right now. What they use 2 rap about was sooooo boring. but thats what yall liked wowww!!!

    21. this nigga snuck it in his loose butthole!!!

      hahah gayest rapper ever!!!
