THE FACTS
Information on what sort of conditions Lil’ Wayne will face while serving time has surfaced.

THE SPIN
Lil’ Wayne has a few more weeks to wait to discover the joy of soap on a rope. Lil’ Wayne was scheduled to be formally sentenced today to begin a year-long jail term, but after Wayne mentioned that he has a dentist appointment to fix his grill the judge decided to postpone his sentencing to March 2.

I would throw shade at this, but thanks to Wayne I’m too busy trying to fight off the urge to sing,”Smile for me daddy…”

Thanks a lot, Weezy.

For months many speculated on what sort of conditions Wayne will have to face in jail.

Will he have to cut his hair? Will he have to be in general population? Will his cellmate try to flip him from Lil’ Wayne until his own personal Beyonce?

MTV News did an in depth report to help separate fact from fiction.

Here’s an idea of what Wayne can expect (via Miss Info):

1. Wake up at 4am for breakfast.
2. For remainder of the day, he has option of recreation & religious study.
3. Will have a DVD Player and be able to watch network television (no cable)
4. He will not be allowed to use an iPod.
5. He won’t have to cut hair.

And the so-called “hip-hop cop” Derrick Parker told MTV News:

“While he’s in jail, it’s a matter of fact they may not put him with the general population because of who he is and his popularity. They might lock him down and let him come out with a supervisor and stuff like that [when he's] in the main area — but he’s definitely going to be treated differently.”

So basically he’ll be alright for 8 months until he’s released early on good behavior. I wouldn’t doubt if someone sneaks him in a couple of different phones and he sets up a Twitter account.

In the meantime, here’s the report:

It’s unfortunate Wayne has to lose so much of his life due to a petty charge, but uh, here’s to hoping he learns his lesson and get people with permits to hold his stuff.

THE FACTS
Lil’ Wayne discussed his thoughts on going to jail in a new interview with Rolling Stone.

THE SPIN
Very, very soon this D.A.R.E. don’t will be heading to jail in New York for gun possession. So how does he feel about it? Judging from this excerpt from his cover story in Rolling Stone, he’s at peace with it.

Via Rolling Stone:
“I don’t like to stop,” Wayne tells RS‘ Chris Norris. “I believe you stop when you die.” So in the weeks before he reports to Rikers Island, Wayne is keeping busy — recording tracks bound for Tha Carter IV (the album Cash Money staffers call “C4″ because it’ll be the bomb), shooting videos with his Young Money protégés, spending time with his growing family, and deliberately not asking anyone for advice about life on the inside. “This is Lil Wayne going to jail. Nobody I can talk to can tell me what that’s like,” he says. “I just say I’m looking forward to it.”

“I just say I’m looking forward to it?” I’m hoping he means he hopes to go ahead and get it over with. With him you never know what his intentions are. It all depends on whatever illegal prescription he mixed with Kool-Aid or Sprite that day.

Still, I’ll give it to him and his camp for making sure that you won’t forget about him in a year’s time.

Here’s some of what Team Weezy has planned:

While Weezy’s away, his label is relocating to New York to be near him, and his manager Cortez Bryant is exploring ways to keep Wayne in his fans’ minds for the duration — from jailhouse Twitter accounts to endorsements. “I’ll have an iPod, and I”ll make sure they keep sending me beats,” Lil Wayne says. “Tha Carter IV” — which Norris is told features tougher, faster beats — is scheduled to arrive shortly after he gets out.

Jailhouse Twitter accounts? Now, I’ll likely end up following him on Twitter…but I’ll definitely feel bad about it.

Any ex-cons want to chime in on Wayne’s giddiness about lock down?

THE FACTS
An executive producer for the show The Return of FreakNik denies that Lil’ Wayne will portray Jesus Christ.

THE SPIN
As you can imagine, a number of people took issue with the idea of a syrup-sipping, multiple-baby making, tattooed rapper headed for jail voicing the role of Jesus Christ.

Granted, I think the whole idea is to be less judgmental when you think of Jesus, but there is the sacrilegious argument. I’m sure Jesus even shrugged his shoulders and quipped, “Really?!”

No matter now, though, ya’ll, because a rep from the show has come out to say, “Hell no Weezy ain’t playing the Lord.”

Via Rhymes with Snitch:

After the Internet uproar caused by the thought of  Lil Wayne playing the role of Jesus Christ on an animated show called ‘The Return of Freaknik’, Adult Swim’s creative director now says Weezy will be playing a rapper NAMED Jesus not the ‘Jesus’.

Clean up on aisle 666.

Bless their hearts for trying, but this explanation reads as a fail.

The only other person I’ve met whose gone by the name “Jesus” pronounced an entirely different way, so I have a hard time grasping who this other Jesus is.
