According to Wayne’s BFF and current Young Money CEO, Mack Maine, Wayne will immediately be treated like royalty upon exiting Rikers Island. “It’s like picking up a king. We gonna make sure everything is straight; jets and luxury cars, red carpet and probably beautiful women and just make sure that he’s [treated like] straight royalty,” Maine told XXL.
As for Wayne’s first order of business? A court appearance, of course. On Friday, the 28-year-old rapper will appear in Arizona court for charges stemming from a January 22, 2008, arrest near a U.S. Border Patrol checkpoint in which authorities claimed they found cocaine, Ecstasy, and a handgun on Weezy’s tour bus (via MTV). His lawyers have already accepted a plea deal, which will consist of three years of unsupervised probation, community service, and no jail time.
There have also been rumors of a star-studded comeback concert — including one tonight in Times Square, but as of now those remain just rumors. And I’m sure we’ll hear news about new music, too.
