It looks like Lil Wayne will have some more time to spend with the free world as his sentence has been postponed until March 2.

With the news being announced first from Twitter, reports are stating that the reasoning behind the pushback came as a result of dental surgery that Lil Wayne will have done.

Reports say the rapper has a cracked tooth that needs to be repaired before doing his bid.

Mack Maine made it official when he posted the news over his own Twitter.

“Extension till march 2nd!!!!!” Maine wrote on the social networking site. “Thanx for da prayers LOVE y'all…and Wayne said thanx for da prayers too..ym!!!”

Already trying to leave music while he's away, the rapper will have more time to play and continue to wrap up projects such as The Carter IV and make sure that the machine behind Young Money keeps rolling forward.

Now, we already knew that he wasn't about to go in there yet anyway.

From music to sports to movies, Nelly has adopted many faces during his career in the entertainment business.

Picking a new hat, Nelly premiered as an ESPN host for The Magazine's Super Bowl Party to get predictions for last Sunday's game.  It is clearly evident that a lot of people were wrong in believing that Peyton Manning would take his team to another championship.

Nelly was able to conduct interviews with the likes of Serena Williams, Terrell Owens, Donovan McBabb, Jermaine Dupri and many others for his first outing.

"To all my fans, my real fans, I really, really, really truly love you. I love you with all of me, for real.

Do not forget about me 'cause I will forever think about you, and I cannot wait for you to see me again.... I'm out.”

Judgment day has finally come for Lil Wayne. The Young Money/Cash Money leader is scheduled to report to prison today for a gun possession charge.

As previously reported Wayne pleaded guilty to the charge in October stemming from a 2007 incident where New York police found a loaded hand gun on his tour bus.

Now he'll appear in a federal courtroom and could be sentenced to up to 1 year in New York's notorious Riker's Island prison.

He is expected to not serve his full sentence however and could be released in More

Is it safe to say that the music career of R. Kelly is coming to an abrupt stop or a screeching halt?

Apparently, it may be about that time to cash out the chips with the singer delivering the breaking news that he has 15 more chapters in store for the saga of “Trapped In The Closet”.

Beginning in 2005 and stretching all the way to 2007 with 22 episodes, who is even aware of what's the last thing that even happened?

Was there a little person that got impregnated by a stripper or something?

Whatever the case may be, Kelz has decided to leave it in the hands of the fans as to whether or NOT he should release the tapes.

“Today, we are killing that tattoo of the wife beater!”

It is said that there's nothing worse than the wrath of a woman scorned.

Apparently, Tahiry has yet to get her fill of giving rapper Joe Budden further public humiliation as she used a tattoo party with her female friends as a platform to further embarrass the New Jersey rapper now that their unity is two individuals.

It has become increasingly evident “bitter” women that have their crosshairs ready to terminate all men on sight.  Maybe Valentine's Day won't be knocking at certain people's doors this year?

Although the album was released back in November, rapper Wale is still making his rounds with Attention Deficit, dropping the music video for his second official single “Pretty Girls”.

Clearly, Gucci Mane wasn't going to be able to make it due to his particular situation, a.k.a. prison, but the abundance of women might be able to pick up the slack for his absence.

Apparently, there was some backlash for the video with critics saying there was a lack of dark skinned women in the video so Wale also dropped “My Sweetie” which was a bonus track off of the album. More

The life of a rapper is a hustle and there must never be an opportunity missed to make money to build on an empire.

For rapper Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, the promotional machine behind his VitaminWater has landed the rapper inside a truck handing out burritos to his hungry “fans” during the X games recently.

Even a man at such a caliber of 50 has no problem in getting his hands a little dirty for a common cause: A bigger paycheck.

Always willing to come from the ground up, Jackson apparently has no boundary lines when it comes to exposing himself.  It's a surprise that the burrito didn't come with a copy of Before I Self Destruct.

“Reality hasn't set in that he has to go to jail yet.  He shouldn't have to go to jail”

After pleading guilty to gun possession charges back in October 2009, Lil Wayne will now have to report to the court February 9 to receive his one year sentence at Rikers Island.

Leaving his imprint and featuring himself in as many video's, songs, etc as possible before the bid, Wayne is making sure that his time will not heavily effect his fans and will leave them with enough material to soak up until his release.

Stating that he will make sure that he will have an iPod to go through beats, a source within the confines of the cell assures the fact that the rapper will not actually be entitled to such luxuries.  Coinciding with other stipulations, the rapper will see his dreadlocks More
