According multiple reports, the iconic American rapper Lil Wayne may face up to 10 to 15 years in prison for illegal possession of firearm and ammunition.
The rapper has been charged with 1 count of possession of a firearm and ammunition by a convicted felon, which could result in a harsh sentence for him should he be proven guilty.
If convicted, he faces up to 10 years in prison.
The incident happened one year ago. Wayne was a passenger in a plane that was traveling to California, making a pit stop in Florida, where they got searched. According to TMZ, Wayne's attorney Howard Srebnick said at the time that the rapper had been cleared to leave after the guns,ammo, and drugs were found. However, the feds seem to have done an about-face, now saying that he could have been wrongfully in possession of firearms and ammo as a convicted felon.
