The rapper was released this morning from Rikers Island jail in New York City ... after serving 8 months of his 1-year sentence, according to the NYC Department of Correction website.
As we previously reported, Weezy pled guilty to attempted criminal possession of a weapon last year ... stemming from a 2007 traffic stop of his tour bus. He was sentenced in March.
Hours after his release, Lil Wayne reconnected with his fans and lights up. Smoking a cigar and drinking a glass of what looks to be cognac while staring at a laptop screen. “aaaaaaahhhhhhmmmmm baaaaakkkkkkkkkk,” tweeted Lil Tunechi.
