Ja Rule and Lil Wayne arrested on firearm charges

Rappers Ja Rule and Lil Wayne have each been arrested in New York for carrying illegal firearms, in separate incidents.

Rappers Ja Rule and Lil Wayne have both been arrested for carrying illegal firearms in New York though, despite the fact the two hip hoppers recently collaborated on the track 'Uh Oh', it seems the two arrests stemmed from separate incidents. Perhaps local police were going for the complete set.

Ja Rule, real name Jeff Atkins, was arrested after a weapon was found in his car after he was stopped for speeding. Lil Wayne, real name Dwayne Carter, was found in possession of a pistol when detained for smoking dope.

Neither rapper has yet commented on their respective charges. Though one assumes that when the cops discovered their allegedly illegal weapons the words 'Uh Oh' might have been uttered. Well, they might.
