Lil Wayne (real name: Dwayne Michael Carter, Jr.)  has been hit with a federal weapons charge and could face serious prison time if convicted. The U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida has charged the rapper with one count of possession of a firearm and ammunition by a convicted felon. If convicted, the Hollygrove native who was convicted of a felony gun charge in New York in 2009 will face up to 10 years in prison.

As previously reported, Wayne had his plane searched by federal agents during a layover at Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport. Agents had received a tip about the possibility of drugs being transported. When they searched, the feds discovered guns and drugs but allowed the rapper to leave the scene. Rolling Stone reports:

TMZ first reported the charge, which the rapper’s attorney, Howard Srebnick, confirmed to Rolling Stone. “Carter is charged with possessing a gold-plated handgun in his luggage on a private plane,” Srebnick said in a statement. “There is no allegation that he ever fired it, brandished it, used it or threatened to use it. There is no allegation that he is a dangerous person. The charge is that because he was convicted of a felony in the past, he is prohibited from possessing a firearm.”

The rapper has had quite a tumultuous 2020. In addition to releasing his highly anticipated album No Ceilings 3, Wayne came under fire for openly supporting President Donald Trump during the election cycle.

During the campaign, Wayne posed with the president and shared with his 34.8 million followers: “Just had a great meeting with @realdonaldtrump @potus besides what he’s done so far with criminal reform, the platinum plan is going to give the community real ownership. He listened to what we had to say today and assured he will and can get it done.”

Wayne was referring to Trump’s Platinum Plan that promises to “increase access to capital in Black communities by almost $500 billion” over the next four years.
