Lil Wayne: US rapper charged with illicit gun possession

Lil Wayne is in trouble with the law again: the US rapper has to answer to court for illegal possession of guns.

Lil Wayne (38, "Lollipop") faces a long prison term. The rapper is accused of illegal possession of weapons by the US authorities. The Florida state attorney filed charges on Tuesday (November 17). This is reported by the US celebrity portal "TMZ", among others. Lil Wayne has to appear in court next month. If convicted, he faces up to ten years in prison.

In December 2019, a gun, ammunition and drugs were found in the rapper's luggage in his private jet in Miami. Lil Wayne was convicted of illicit gun possession in 2009 and was imprisoned for almost a year. As a convicted criminal, he is not allowed to own a weapon.
