Rapper Lil Wayne was set to be formally sentenced on a gun possession charge, but his sentencing has been rescheduled until next month due to dental surgery.
Lil Wayne will be a free man for a short time longer while he has dental surgery before his rescheduled sentencing on March 2.
The rapper will reportedly be shipped off to New York City’s Rikers Island prison to serve a year.

Back in October, Lil Wayne pleaded guilty to illegally carrying a loaded gun on his tour bus in 2007. The rapper may spend eight months to a year in jail for gun possession.
Lil Wayne, whose real name is Dwayne Carter, 27, is the father of four children with four different women: 9-year-old daughter Reginae and sons Dwayne Carter III (16 months) and Lennox and Neal, who were both born last fall.
The Grammy-winning rapper said his goodbyes to fans on Tuesday morning in a live streaming video.
“I’m out this b*tch,” he said. “To all my fans, my real fans, I really, really, really truly love you. I love you with all of me, for real. I’ll probably be loving everything else because I love you so much. Thank you from the bottom [of my heart]. Do not forget about me ’cause I will forever think about you, and I cannot wait for you to see me again. I’m out.
