Lil Wayne has to serve a year in jail

A New York judge has set a date for Lil Wayne to start his year-long spell in jail.

The rapper, real name Dwayne Michael Carter Jr, appeared at Manhattan State Court on Tuesday.

He was told he will enter prison on 9 February - one week after his new album is released.

Lil Wayne pleaded guilty to attempted weapon possession in the second degree in October.

He was originally charged in July 2007, when police found a handgun on his tour bus.

It has not yet been revealed where Lil Wayne, 27, will serve his time.
