Lil Wayne appeared in Manhattan Supreme Court on Tuesday (Feb. 9) to face his one-year sentence on gun possession. The rapper was expected to start serving his time today, but the sentencing has been delayed until March 2 due to his dental surgery.
Stacey Richman, his lawyer, informed the judge that she sent a notification to the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office that the rapper is suffering from a cracked tooth and would need to postpone his sentence. The judge agreed and ruled to reschedule for March 2.
The rapper is set to undergo surgery February 12 in Miami, and he will need a week to 10 days to recover. His defense offered prosecutors February 25 as a date for Wayne to turn himself him in after surgery, but Judge Charles H. Solomon instead selected March 2.
Young Money affiliate Mack Maine tweeted the news.
