Multiplatinum-selling and Grammy-winning rap artist Lil’ Wayne plead guilty to drug charges in a plea agreement announced earlier this week. The charges against Lil’ Wayne stem from a January 2008 Arizona bust on his tour bus where the drug ecstasy was allegedly found in his backpack.
By entering a plea of guilty to the charges, the rapper will likely avoid a prison sentence. The maximum sentence that Lil Wayne could receive on these charges is three years in prison. However as part of the plea agreement, Lil’ Wayne will likely avoid prison time and be placed on probation.
The rapper is currently serving one year in a New York prison for unrelated gun charges. He appeared in an Arizona court Monday via video. The plea agreement is only a recommendation, and needs to be approved by a judge at a later court date. According to court papers, if probation is granted, the rapper would be place on probation for 36 months.
