Lil Wayne was serving time since last March for illegal gun possession. Much of last month was served in isolation from other inmates because he was caught with an MP3 charger and headsets during a search of his cell.
While in jail, Lil Wayne was able to communicate with fans from his website talking about life behind bars.
Despite being locked up, the rapper was able to release his new album “I Am Not A Human Being,” on his 28th birthday in September.
