We are continuing our up-to-the-minute coverage of Lil Wayne's release from Rikers Island. Following an eight month sentence, Weezy is scheduled to be released early Thursday morning (November 4) if a certain Canadian is right.
"Between the hours of 1 - 2am ... WEEZY IS COMING HOME," Drizzy tweeted. Two different sources close to the rapper maintain that Weezy will be released early Thursday.
Wayne began serving a prison bid at New York's Rikers Island in March stemming from a 2007 gun arrest after a concert at Manhattan's Beacon Theatre. The Cash Money-Young Money soldier's friend Mack Maine told MTV News on Wednesday that the welcome home party will "be crazy. We have a private party first and then we going to King of Diamonds after, which is a strip club. It's going to be crazy, it's going to be real elegant, extravagant, we gonna party like when Frank came home, like [the movie] 'King of New York.' "
