Lil Wayne and Ja Rule were both arrested yesterday and charged with criminal possession of a weapon in separate incidents, according to New York City police.
The hip-hop artists were taken into custody shortly after a Lil Wayne concert at Manhattan’s Beacon Theatre on Sunday night.
Officers spotted Lil Wayne, born Dwayne Carter, 24, and an unnamed man allegedly smoking marijuana near a tour bus on 61st Street and Columbus Avenue at about 11:30 p.m.
After arresting the two men, police discovered a .40-caliber pistol. Both were charged with criminal possession of a weapon and marijuana.
Meanwhile Ja Rule, born Jeff Atkins, 31, was arrested about an hour earlier on West End Avenue.
Police stopped his luxury Sedan for speeding, and also found a .40-caliber gun in his possession.
There has been no immediate response from their record company, Universal Motown.
