Back In 2010, Lil Wayne was sentenced to a year in Rikers Island after pleading guilty to charges stemming from a 2007 arrest in New York. He ended up serving 242 days behind bars. But even locked up, he was still the most talked about rapper in the game.
During his stay, reports surfaced that two female correctional officers were disciplined — one suspended and another fired for allegedly making unauthorized visits to his jail cell. One officer even claimed she didn’t know who he was and just got “curious.”
Despite the high-profile sentence, Wayne stayed productive keeping in touch with fans through letters, releasing music, and dropping updates on his experience in jail. His time in Rikers didn’t slow him down, it only added to the legend.
