In April, just one month after the rapper started his year-long sentence for attempted criminal possession of a weapon, a guard at the complex was fired for allegedly spying on Lil Wayne.
Amelia Negron was fired for glimpsing at Lil Wayne, although she denied the charges, claiming her union boss forced her to make a confession.
This is not the first time a rapper has caused controversy on Rikers Island.
In June of 2009, it was revealed that Foxy Brown allegedly received preferential treatment during her 9-month stay on Rikers Island in 2006.
The rapper held a photo shoot and allegedly received unlimited phone/TV use, makeup, luxury clothing and outside meals.
In October of 2009, Correction Chief Peter Curcio and a Rabbi named Leib Glanz resigned over the scandal, after the Brown reports, in addition to allegations that Rabbi Glanz arranged a lavish bar mitzvah for an inmates son.

Possession of a weapon on a tour bus is a total phony charge to begin with. It is in fact his “home” while on tour. The “castledcotorine” should be a federal law. “Criminal intent” just for having a weapon in your house? I am not one of Lil’ Wayne’s fans but this is a waste of taxpayer dollars. Not that it matters in NY.
The NY agenda sucks, therefore, NY sucks....
