Lil Wayne’s guilty plea for felony gun possession in a New York court Thursday morning (October 22) is expected to result in a one-year prison sentence. The deal caps a case that began in the summer of 2007, when Wayne’s tour bus was pulled over following his first-ever headlining concert in New York City. The police, who said they pulled the bus over because they smelled marijuana, searched the vehicle, found a gun and arrested Wayne on felony gun possession. He is scheduled to be sentenced in February of 2010.

But Wayne has been dodging legal bullets for a few years. As the rapper has ascended from journeyman MC in the Cash Money crew to one of the biggest stars in the world, trouble has followed him.

But that’s not the only legal rap he’s gotten himself into. Lil’ Wayne is due to stand trial next March in Yuma, Ariz., on separate felony drug and weapons charges stemming from a January 2008 bust along the U.S.-Mexican border.
