A search of Dwayne Michael Carter Jr’s private jet in 2019 turned up a handgun, which he is prohibited from owning due to prior criminal convictions
The rapper Lil Wayne (AKA Dwayne Michael Carter Jr) has been charged with weapons possession and faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted.
Carter’s lawyer, Howard Srebnick, told Vulture that the charge pertained to a search of the star’s private jet in Miami in 2019. This revealed a gold-plated handgun in his luggage, which Carter said was a Father’s Day gift.
