Lil Wayne Moved To Solitary Confinement

Lil Wayne has about a month left on his prison stint — he's been locked up on Rikers Island since March on a gun-possession charge — and he recently got into a bit of trouble. Again.

The rapper was found with a pair of headphones and a charger for an MP3 player, and another inmate was said to be hiding the MP3 player, TMZ reports. The rapper has reportedly been placed in solitary confinement for the infraction.

The new report is reminiscent of a similar incident back in May, when the rapper was busted for having a charger, headphones and a watch that doubled as an MP3 player in his jail cell.

For this new trouble, Wayne will have less interaction with inmates and will spend up to 23 hours a day in an isolation cell, TMZ reports. His out-of-cell time is limited to religious services and one hour of recreational time. His phone privileges also have been reduced to just one personal phone call a week.

No word on whether this recent setback will affect his release date, which is tentatively scheduled for November 4. If he still is out that day, the rumor was that the rapper will hold a concert November 5 at New York's Madison Square Garden, where his last performance was before he turned himself in to authorities. But the head of his label, Cash Money Records' Bryan "Baby" Williams, said earlier Monday that while plans for Wayne's post-prison celebration are still being worked out, they'll most likely take place in Miami, not New York.

Bow Wow and Lil Wayne's daily prison routine

Lil Wayne's daily prison routine reportedly consists of mundane activities like watching ESPN and chatting on the phone. Despite his seemingly laid-back schedule, the Young Money/ Cash Money leader has cautioned his protégés to steer clear of trouble. Jail is no place for successful rappers, according to Wayne. During a visit to the incarcerated MC, Bow Wow, who joined Weezy's camp last year, said Wayne urged him and Young Money star Drake to stay on their best behavior.

"One thing he told me when I went to visit him, he was like ... 'Bow, this ain't for us, this ain't it. This ain't built for cats like us. They don't understand us, we don't understand them. Don't do it man, just stay out of trouble. You and Drizzy, y'all stay clean, y'all stay doing what y'all do. Y'all can do this forever,' " Bow Wow told Houston's 97.9 The Box. "I knew he meant it, [because] Tune never lectures me like that ... but he was serious."

The 23-year-old rapper said that seeing Wayne locked up was a "humbling experience" and recalled hanging with Weezy before his prison stint.

"In our studio, it's my room ... then Stunna's room then Wayne's room. I'm so used to seeing the Bugatti pull up, I'm so used to ... going over Wayne's house and the chef is always cooking," Bow Wow said. "You don't like seeing your boy like that," Bow lamented.

Similar to how Wayne doled out advice to Bow, the young rapper said he looks out for another member of the extended Young Money/ Cash Money collective: Nicki Minaj. Bow Wow, who stars in the comedy "Lottery Ticket," almost scored the hip-hop diva a role in the summer flick.

"To be honest, Nicki was close to being [the character] 'Nikki' in the movie. I called Nicki and said, 'Yo, I think you should audition for this role.' " Unfortunately, Bow's bid to get Minaj some screen time was unsuccessful: The part eventually went to R&B vixen Teairra Mari. "I thought [Minaj] did good, but unfortunately you know how things don't work out."
