Maybe all those Lil’ Wayne supporters tweeting #FreeWeezy last night were on to something.
‘Cause he’s definitely still sitting in a cell hours after he was due to be released early this morning.
“His time was miscalculated. He owed, he owes one day of ‘good time,’ so it’s gonna be another night,” Officer Caraballo said Thursday as MTV News awaited the New Orleans lyricist’s release outside the rapper’s jail. Caraballo added that “good time” is reduced when an inmate runs into trouble behind bars. “If you get an infraction in jail, they’ll take away ‘good time’ — time that you accumulated for good behavior.”
Although the officer did not confirm what may have caused the delay of Weezy’s release, it is possible that a May incident in which the MC was caught with headphones and an MP3 player, which is a violation of prison rules, may have come into play. However, a spokesperson for the New York City Department of Correction told MTV News on October 5 that the MP3 player flap would not land Weezy additional jail time.
Caraballo said Wayne would be released “probably tomorrow” (Friday, November 5). A spokesperson for Rikers Island Correctional Facility, Officer Daniels, confirmed to MTV News that Weezy remains in prison but was unable to comment on when the rapper may be released or whether his time was extended due to an infraction.
An extra day? That is so lame, lol. In the grand scheme of things though, that is only 1/120th of the additional time he would have served had he not gotten out on good behavior.
And at least he’ll still be home in time for his planned welcome home party at King of Diamonds in Miami on Sunday. Maybe.
