This picture inside court shows Weezy getting handcuffed right before being sent to Rikers prison to serve his sentence.

Original rumors stated that Lil Wayne will be held in protective custody. However a spokesperson for the Correctional Department said that the superstar MC will have “general population escort” status. This means that whenever Lil Wayne is outside of his housing unit, he will be accompanied by a correction captain.

Will this protect him from the haters? Or will everyone just ask him for a record deal?

Weezy was sentenced to 1 year in jail for gun possession however could be let out after 8 months for good behavior.
