A Bittersweet End To 2009 For Lil Wayne As He Kicks Off His 'Farewell For Now' Tour In Hometown Of New Orleans

Video After The Jump

Lil Wayne must be going through an emotional roller coaster as 2009 draws to a close.

Being one of the the most successful rappers out right now and head of
Young Money Records. Which features two artists inDrake and Nicki Minaj that are as white hot as two rookie emcees could possibly could be are things i'm sure he's quite proud of.

However, the rapper born
Dwayne Carter has seen his good fortune stall a bit recently as run-ins with the law have caught up with him.

In February, Wayne will be sentenced to a year in jail for a gun charge in
New York. He is also facing drug possession and weapons charges in Arizona. On top of that, his new rock LP 'Rebirth' has leaked months early and the reviews for the record have been lukewarm at best.

None of that mattered last night though (Monday December 28). As the
New Orleans native kicked off his 'Farewell For Now' Tour in his hometown. Opening the show with his smash hit "A Milli", Weezy told the crowd "I'm nothing without you"

"
I hope Lil Wayne will follow in T.I.'s footsteps," said 32-year-old Jed Wright, who brought his 11-year-old stepson to the show as a Christmas present. "T.I. promised to turn his life around. Lil Wayne can do the same thing."

Here's some footage below from the show that was spotted over at

T.I. Has Been Released From Prison, Headed To Halfway House



Atlanta rapper T.I. was officially been released from a low-security federal prison in Forrest City, Arkansas today (December 22).

The rapper, born Clifford Harris Jr., is expected to report to Dismas Charities Atlanta West correctional center tonight, where he will spend three months.

T.I. was sentenced to 366 days in prison after an October 2007 incident, in which federal agents caught him attempting to purchase machine guns and silencers.

After he has finished his stay at Dismas Charities Atlanta West, the rapper must complete 500 hours of community service, in addition to another 23 days of house arrest.

T.I. is expected to work during the three months he is confined to the halfway house, according to reports.
