Lil Wayne was busted at Rikers Island Prison Monday morning after officials found him with “music contraband.”

As previously reported Wayne's stay at the prison is being documented, with a prison guard being fired for “spying on him” in previous weeks and a visit from Diddy being heavily scrutinized.

Now Weezy reportedly was caught breaking the rules after sneaking in a MP3 player, a charger and headphones.

According to The New York Daily News, Weezy was found with the contraband around 8 a.m. Monday morning.

After being tipped off by another prisoner, officials found a charger for an MP3 and earphones hidden in foil and a bag stuffed in Lil Wayne's trash.

A source tells the paper that a subsequent search found another inmate in the same wing with the accompanying MP3 player but still have no idea how Wayne got the banned items.

Wayne and his companion will be charged with an infraction for contraband.

No word on what effect, if any, this will have on his sentence.

      The law is the law, that's why he's in jail, he couldn't abide by it then and he's having trouble abiding by it now. There should never be exceptions to rules in prison. I am a musician and even I have to side with the LAW on this one.

      It doesn't matter if he's "the greatest rapper of our generation", the law is the law. While I think banning mp3 players is a bit much, he doesn't deserve special treatment simply because he's famous.
