Lil Wayne arrested over drugs possession

Rapper Lil' Wayne was banged-up for possession of a controlled substance in Atlanta on Monday night after a hotel employee noticed a "heavy odour" (which may well be the name of his next album) coming from his room. Wayne's stash of marijuana was subsequently found by police, along with 60 pills of generic Xanax and 59 hydrocodone pills, whatever they are. The news is unlikely to harm his platinum status. Though he was released on bail so may not get that useful hip hop sales booster - the jail sentence.
