Lil Wayne will publish book penned inside the pen
The diaries that rapper Lil Wayne kept while in jail will form the basis of a new book, publisher Grand Central announced Thursday. Lil Wayne spent eight months in jail on Rikers Island in 2010; he had pleaded guilty to attempted weapons possession.
"We are thrilled to be publishing Wayne’s prison memoir," executive editor Ben Greenberg said in a release. "He kept detailed journals of his inner and outer life while he was on Rikers Island, and they certainly tell a story. They are revealing."
Weezy's time at Rikers included a month in solitary confinement for possession of "music contraband" -- headphones and a charger for an MP3 player.
The Grammy winner's memoir, "Gone Till November," will be released Nov. 28 -- just in time for the 2012 Christmas shopping season.
