More on the arrest of rapper Lil Wayne this weekend. As previously reported, the rapper was arrested after performing a gig in Boise, Idaho on Saturday night in relation to old drugs charges issued in Fulton Country, Georgia. Wayne allegedly previously failed to attend two separate court hearings in relation to the charges, hence the arrest. But the rapper's lawyer, having got him out of jail on a $20,000 bail, told reporters the whole thing was down to a "misunderstanding". Attorney William Head told Atlanta's Fox Channel 5 that his client wasn't aware of the missed court dates, observing: "When someone's this successful, there are chances things will fall through the cracks. They were under the impression that those charges had either been resolved or dismissed". The rapper is due back in court today to face the charges.
