Rapper Lil Wayne faces up to 10 years in federal prison after he pleaded guilty Friday to illegal gun possession, prosecutors said.
CNN has reached out to his attorney but has not heard back at this time. Lil Wayne,38, was arrested in December 2019 as he arrived on a flight from California at the Opa Locka Executive Airport. Officers spoke with the rapper, who told them that he had a gun in his bag, officials said Friday. His lawyers noted in November, when the charge was announced, that the musician did not use his firearm.
