Lil Wayne Faces Prison Time Over Firearm Possession Charges

After coming under fire earlier this month for throwing his support behind Donald Trump’s re-election campaign, Lil Wayne faces even more bad news this week. Federal prosecutors have filed charges against the Funeral rapper which could land him in prison for up to 10 years, according to TMZ. Stemming from a December 2019 search of his private plane at Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport, Wayne’s been charged with possession of a firearm and ammunition by a convicted felon. Wayne was convicted of attempted criminal possession of a weapon in 2009 after a 2007 arrest in New York City for having a .40 caliber pistol in his bag.

Howard Srebnick, Wayne’s attorney, said at the time of the 2019 incident that Wayne was “cleared” to leave the airport despite federal agents finding the guns, but it appears that prosecutors are now following through on the procedure. As a felon, Wayne wouldn’t have been allowed to carry firearms for any reason; while the agents in question may not have felt they had reason to arrest him, apparently, the court is going by the letter of the law in this case. Wayne previously eight months in prison due to his 2007 arrest after being sentenced to a year on Riker’s Island. Things could get worse this time around, although Srebnick maintains that Wayne never “fired it, brandished it, used it or threatened to use it” with regard to his current handgun charge.

50 Cent, who previously mocked the backlash against Wayne for supporting Trump, again trolled the younger rapper on Instagram upon learning of his predicament, writing, “Wait a minute. Trump still got 63 days left. Call him, Wayne. Get that fool on the phone. They gonna try to put you in jail for supporting Trump.”

Lisa Boostani creates a mesmerizing tidal realm in “Ocean”

Lisa Boostani

Lisa Boostani’s “Ocean” takes you deep into a sensory world where body, spirit, and myth come together, beyond the surface of genre. Boostani makes a soundscape that is both ethereal and deeply human by combining the broad essence of psychedelic pop with the strong appeal of alternative rock.

Her voice rises as if it is coming from deep within her, shaped by emotion rather than action. She intentionally channels the intangible, turning weakness into strength rather than a source of pain, and “Ocean” tells people to get involved in this inner world, not just watch it. This release is an integral part of her first EP, “One,” which will come out in March 2026 and is based on love, sensuality, and unity.

If “Ocean” is any indication, the EP will show sensuality not as something pretty, but as a kind of spiritual intelligence, a way to know yourself by connecting with others. The song’s textures and structure have an aquatic quality, moving between clarity and delirium, rhythm and freedom. Its emotional focus is on immersion instead of resolution.

The striking quality of “Ocean” is the blend of the mystical worlds. Boostani understands that strength often shows up as gentleness and that deep feelings are better expressed through frequencies than words. She wants people to see consciousness as immediacy, sensation as truth, and openness as an undeniable strength.
