Lil’ Wayne has decided to officially join the Twitter club.

Just 7 days before checking in to serve his one year prison stint at New York’s Rikers Island, Lil Wayne joined the uber popular social media website under the tweet name @LilTuneChi.

The Young Money CEO had been able to fight the urge to follow after countless celebs who feel the need to tweet their every move until Sunday (February 21) when the prison bound MC tweeted:

“im super new to this twitter Shyte but wudup tho !……….follow me biot¢h……….wudup mak……happy bday LO……8 days of freedom..ym”

Since his initial appearance on the site 16 hours ago (and one retweet from Trey Songz),  Weezy has already jumped from 10 to almost 85,0000 followers.

The most recent tweet has Weezy showing off his softer side as he writes: [More]

“aint it funny how love finds you in your darkest place…?”

Obviously Lil’ Wayne could be tweeting about anyone with all of the kids that he has been producing lately.  With only 7 days left before he officially starts his sentence, I can imagine that his tweets are only going to become more interesting.
