Lil Wayne is still a wanted man in Arizona, while he is locked up in Rikers in NYC.

Hip Hop Wired Reports:

As previously reported Wayne was arrested in 2008 in Yuma, Arizona after authorities searched his tour bus and found a loaded hand gun, marijuana, cocaine and ecstasy.

He previously pleaded not guilty to one count of possession of a narcotic drug for sale, possession of dangerous drugs, misconduct involving weapons and one count of possession of drug paraphernalia.

Now however Weezy’s changing his tune and appeared on a live video feed to plead guilty to one count of possession of a dangerous drug.

His guilty plea is part of a plea deal with prosecutors that will drop the charges of possession of a narcotic drug for sale, misconduct involving weapons and possession of drug paraphernalia against him.

Instead of jail time Weezy now faces 36 months probation.

He is scheduled to be released from Rikers Island in November.

I’m convinced that DMX likes it better in jail, or something is really the matter with him!

Late yesterday, DMX was taken into custody in Arizona, and charged with five counts of probation violation.

Sherrif Joe Arpaio confirmed the arrest and said the star – who was jailed in 2009 on charges of drug possession, animal cruelty and theft, stemming from various arrests in 2008 – is now in a Phoenix jail where he is isolated from other inmates.

He added: “We would hope that he is finally sent to prison. We’ve arrested him five times already. How many times do you have to violate the law?”

The details of the rapper’s arrest are unclear but it has been reported it is related to drug addiction.

DMX’s lawyer Gary Jenkins said: “He’s been battling addiction for some time and he’s in need of treatment.”

Meanwhile, DMX’s wife, Tashera Simmons, is planning to release a tell-all book about her life with the artist, called ‘Strength of a Woman’.

A representative said: “She will be talking about her experience with her family and trying to hold them together through the DMX journey. Her story is a stellar, heart wrecking, powerful, firsthand account of survival and family strength in a chaotic life and the fame that came with that life.” (Ireland Online)
