Feds Reportedly Find Gold Plated Gun, Heroin on Lil Wayne's Private Jet

[Mr. Babatunde]

A suggestion that authorities were planning to search the aircraft of Lil Wayne after receiving a tip that it was carrying drugs and other illegal substances was widely circulated last week.

After a flight from California on Christmas Eve, federal agents ended up looking for the rapper's plane on arrival at Miami-Opa-locka Executive Airport. According to a Miami Herald article, they found a gold-plated.45 caliber handgun with a pearl grip. In addition to the blinged-out pistol, researchers also found MDMA in the form of pills and crystals as well as marijuana, cocaine and heroin in a Coach bag, but the sum of each drug was not immediately known.

Wayne’s chef, who was traveling with the rapper, had about $20,000 in cash in his possession. They also recovered Vape cartridges that featured Lil Wayne’s face on the boxes. The federal search was conducted by investigators with the FBI, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and Explosives departments as well as Miami-Dade police officers.

All goody!  I think they thought I was talking abt a different “Pack” in my last tweet.  But anyway GO PACK GO!!!

Miami defense attorney Howard Srebnick said late Monday that his client, Lil Wayne, was “cleared” to leave the scene by federal investigators but declined to comment any further. No immediate charges have been filed against the Young Money boss but a federal grand jury could be impaneled after the holidays to consider gun and drug charges. Weezy tweeted that all was “goody” after the bust.
