Lil Wayne Gets a Big Trial Date

"Lollipop" rapper will stand trial next March on drug and weapons possession charges in Arizona

Lil Wayne's not exactly jumping for joy.

A judge in Yuma, Ariz., has set a March trial date for the Grammy-winning New Orleans MC on felony drug and weapons charges stemming from a January 2008 bust along the U.S.-Mexican border.

Wayne, whose full name is Dwayne Michael Carter Jr., has pleaded not guilty.

The "Lollipop" MC was busted after his tour bus was searched at a U.S. Border Patrol checkpoint on Interstate 8 just east of Yuma. Agents allegedly turned up cocaine, ecstasy, marijuana, a pistol and $22,000 in cash.

A lawyer for the 27-year-old hip-hopster, who's keeping his legal eagles' pockets full these days, could not be reached for comment.

Wayne's also facing trial in New York City for criminal weapons possession after police turned up a gun in—you guessed it—his tour bus following a 2007 concert.
