(Newser) – Lil Wayne will wait until March 2 to begin serving his one-year term for a weapons charge. The rapper won a postponement today so he could have dental surgery on Friday. The prosecution agreed that Wayne, who has a cracked tooth, would get better care from his own dentist than at Riker's Island, MTV reports. Meanwhile, the star took time to say goodbye to his fans via streaming video this morning.

Yeah he might sell more CD's but he's still going to PRISON for being a dumb mother fucker who wants to go around with a loaded gun, acting like a gangster. I don't know what's wrong with some people in society who when they are free and on the streets they want to be acting like an inmates. Now he's got the real deal.
