Lil Wayne was busted at Riker's Island this week for what prison officials are calling "music contraband."


According to the New York Daily News, Weezy was popped at around 8 a.m. Monday morning (May 10) after correctional officers found a charger and ear phones for a watch that doubled as a digital music player.

"He was found with a charger for an MP3 player and unauthorized earphones," in his Rikers Island cell, a source said.

The items were seized, and a subsequent search found another inmate in the same wing with the accompanying music player.

The paper says a prison rat tipped off officers.

No word of any punishment will be dealt out for the offense.

According to the NY Post, Sean John -- the clothing label founded by hip-hop entrepreneur Sean "Diddy" Combs has signed an exclusive distribution deal with Macy's.


The nation's biggest department-store chain which lately has scored exclusives with brands including Tommy Hilfiger, Ellen Tracy, Diesel and Martha Stewart in spring 2011 will become the only department store to sell Sean John men's sportswear.

"I got my start at Macy's when I was 16, selling shirts and ties," Combs told The Post in an interview, adding that he had worked at the New Rochelle, NY, store. "To come full circle like this is a dream come true."

Macy's initially will begin selling Sean John exclusively at 400 stores or about half of its nationwide chain. But the line will eventually be rolled out to all stores, said Macy's Chief Merchandising Officer Jeff Gennette.

"It really opened my eyes to the possibilities," Combs told The Post. "They're displaying Tommy right up there with Ralph Lauren."

In addition, there will be exclusive Sean John shops built within key Macy's locations, including the flagship at Herald Square.

While Sean John will have sole discretion over designs, it will work closely with Macy's when it comes to pricing and deciding which fashions to emphasize each season.

Macy's CEO Lundgren said that while the retailer is offered exclusive deals by countless clothing brands, "We turn down 95 percent of the invitations we get," noting that commitments to exclusive distribution deals carry greater risks.
