Lil Wayne will be formally sentenced to prison today (February 9) for gun charges. After he officially enters his plea, the rapper is expected to then turn himself in immediately to begin a one-year jail sentence. He will serve his sentence at Rikers Island. A retired detective had this to say about Lil Wayne’s year long stay:
“Lil Wayne is gonna be OK. While he’s in jail, it’s a matter of fact they may not put him with the general population because of who he is and his popularity. They might lock him down and let him come out with a supervisor and stuff like that [when he's] in the main area — but he’s definitely going to be treated differently.”

Usher’snew album Raymond Vs Raymond has been pushed back by his label until March 30. A source says Jive Records refused to put Usher’s album out until he signs with a new management firm.
Apparently Usher and his mother — and former manager– Jonetta Patton are officially on the outs and severed their professional ties in late November 2009.
“She walked away from the project because Usher had his girlfriend [and former Def Jam executive] Grace Miguel was all in the mix,” says the source.
“She felt as though if she didn’t end things when she did, it would permanently affect their personal relationship,” continues the source. Usher had apparently declared that he would manage himself, with the help of Miguel, but the label felt that “there was chaos in the camp.”
Jay-Z had a great intro video to the Super Bowl last night. In it he performed “Run This Town,” featuring Rihanna and The Rutgers Symphony Orchestra highlighted with clips of the Saints and Colts.
