Bad rap.

Grammy-winning rapper Lil Wayne pleaded guilty to attempted weapon possession in a Manhattan courtroom Thursday -- and is to be sentenced to a year in prison, according to the Associated Press.

The rapper (nee Dwayne M. Carter Jr.), 27, remains free on $30,000 bail. He is set to appear in State Supreme Court in NYC again on Dec. 15.

A sentencing hearing before Justice Charles H. Solomon is scheduled for February.

Police said a gun was found on his tour bus in Manhattan in 2007. He previously had pleaded not guilty to the gun possession charges, which carried a sentence of 3 1/2 years behind bars. His trial had been scheduled to start Jan. 20.

But the rapper ended up signing a plea agreement with prosecutors after police used a DNA profiling technique to tie him to the gun found on the bus.

Lil Wayne is expecting his fourth child. The mother is singer Nivea, 27 (ex-wife to The Dream, Christina Milian's new husband). It is the third son in about a year for the rapper.

But, they see the money..and know he is going to take care of them. How about the men (of all races) that are making all these babies who don't even have a job to take care of them? Worry about them procreating. Lil Wayne is
