Lil Wayne released from prison today
Posted on 04. Nov, 2010 by Leon Kennedy in Entertainment
According to The Washington Post, while MTV had said that “we” would have to wait another 24 hours for the release of rapper Lil Wayne from prison (I think that Lil Wayne’s own waiting is a bit more important that “our” waiting), TMZ has reported that Lil Wayne was indeed released from prison this morning; if this is true, it will mean that “we” do not have to wait any longer, much like he does not have to wait any longer, for his release.
I wonder if Lil Wayne, who has been in prison since last March for a weapons charge, is concerned with how long “we” have been waiting for him to get out?
The confusion, not over who exactly is the one waiting to get out of prison, but over Lil Wayne’s exact release date, may have something to do with the fact that Wayne, who was sentenced to a year in March, is getting out about 4 months early. It was not reported that Wayne was getting out early for not possessing any weapons while in prison which constituted “good behavior”.
Furthermore, as to the reason for the confusion regarding Wayne’s release date, The Washington Post remarks that MTV’s source on the 24-hour delay was not someone who actually worked for Rikers, the prison at which Lil Wayne was jailed.
So I guess The Washington Post, by showing up MTV, can reassure itself that it is a “real” source of news, as opposed to MTV which only writes about pop stars. On the other hand, don’t forget that the Washington Post is also writing about Lil Wayne.
