The Associated Press reports a Yuma County Superior Court judge in Arizona issued a bench warrant for Lil Wayne after the rapper failed to show up in court for a trial management conference. An attorney for Lil Wayne said the rapper could not attend, since he began a one-year jail sentence in New York on March 8. (Lil Wayne is serving time for having a loaded gun on his person on a tour bus.) Lil Wayne is facing drug and weapons charges in Yuma County after he was arrested in January 2008 when authorities found cocaine, Ecstasy, and a handgun on his bus.

How stupid is that judge? Issuing a bench warrant for someone who is already in jail?? @sshole.
What a LOSER.
And I meant Lil Wayne, not the Judge
What is so ‘stupid’ about? You’re saying this guy cannot answer a charge while he’s in jail? Of course he can. He’ll just do it while in cuffs. Sorry, people…what’s ‘stupid’ here is your calling the warrant ‘stupid.’ The idiocy never ceases to amaze me here……….
wahhh
Dat lil’ monkey can’t stay out of trouble in locked up.
Excuse me? That doesn’t seem to make sense. You sound terribly ignorant, on several levels.
Ever look in the mirror?
Dr. Tain is just one of those no life losers that get kicks out of making off the cuff comments online, he most likely lives in his moms basement and is on food stamps.
Dt Taint you are way out of line calling him a monkey, you damn coach roach. Call a black person a monkey in their face and you wouldn’t have to worry about a warrant being issued for them f–king you up, they will do it on the spot.
Oh, no he dint int!
This punk is such a criminal he gets arrested when he’s not even on the street. Throw away the key!
