US media has reported that US rapper, Dwayne Michael Carter Jr better known as Lil Wayne pleaded guilty Friday to possession of a firearm by a convicted felon over an incident dating back to last year — a federal offense that could see him sentenced to up to 10 years in prison.
The 38-year-old artist was found to be carrying a gun and bullets when police searched a private plane in Miami in December last year.
“Your honor, I plead guilty,” he reportedly told US District Judge Kathleen Williams during a virtual hearing.
The Miami Herald said that Lil Wayne admitted the gold-plated pistol found in his luggage was his telling the police that the weapon had been given to him as a Father’s Day gift.
Police also found what was believed to be cocaine, marijuana, ecstasy, heroin, painkillers and more than $25,000 in cash, the newspaper said.
But the sole federal weapons charge filed in federal court in Miami stems from the fact that Lil Wayne was convicted more than a decade ago on a separate firearms charge
Under the federal law, convicted felons are barred from owning firearms.
The five-time Grammy winner — who more recently made headlines for meeting with and voicing support for President Donald Trump — will face sentencing on January 28.
