"Weezy"

​Legally challenged hip-hopster Lil Wayne, currently serving a year-long jail sentence in New York, is apparently a pretty funny dude now that he's not in a "purple-drank"-and-weed-induced haze.

"Purple drank," for those not hip to the rap scene, is a mixture of prescription-strength cough syrup, 7-Up, and broken-up pieces of Jolly Ranchers. Apparently, it gets you pretty high.

Weezy's reportedly detoxed during his time as a guest of the county in New York and his old pal, "Fat Joe" -- another player in the rap game -- says Wayne is "much funnier" as a result.More >>

​Weezy can breathe a sigh of relief today -- the legally challenged hip-hopster narrowly avoided even more jail time when a Yuma County judge sentenced him to probation this morning in the rapper's 2008 gun and drug case. 

Lil Wayne, a.k.a. Dwayne Carter, a.k.a. Weezy, appeared in a Yuma County Court via-live video feed from New York City's Rikers Island jail -- where he's  serving a year-long sentence for convictions similar to the charges in his Arizona case. He was wired in to Yuma to learn his fate after pleading guilty to one charge of drug possession on June 18.

Weezy just can't catch a break.

A Yuma County judge issued a bench warrant for legally challenged rapper Lil Wayne yesterday, after he missed a pre-trial hearing in his drug and weapons case, court officials tell New Times.

If the judge wants to find Weezy, he won't have to look too hard -- he's currently a guest of the county at the Rikers Island jail in New York City.
