Granted … Lil Wayne ain’t no Nelson Mandela.
He only spent 11 months in prison (not, you know, 27 years) after getting busted on his tour bus for “attempted possession of a weapon” (not, you know, attempting to free the people of South Africa from the horrors of Apartheid), but why not cash in with a prison memoir?
Today, Weezy and his publisher — Grand Central, a division of Hachette — announced Gone Till November, a book based on the diaries kept by the Young Money maniac during his stint behind bars.
The YMCMB spitter’s tome is slated to hit streets in November 2012, coinciding with the two-year anniversary of his release from Rikers Island.
