Lil Wayne has been ordered to begin his year-long sentence for gun charges in February next year.
The 'Lollipop' hitmaker - real name Dwayne Carter - pleaded guilty to charges of second degree felony of criminal weapons possession and criminal possession of a loaded weapon, following his 2007 arrest in New York after police found a firearm on his tourbus.
He allegedly later struck a plea deal with prosecutors, after initially pleading not guilty, in a bid to cut down his time behind bars.
Carter appeared in Manhattan State court on Tuesday morning as he was sentenced to start his prison stint on February 9. It is not yet known where the 28-year-old will serve his jail term.
The date comes just one week after the proposed launch of his much-delayed new album Rebirth, which is due for release on February 1.
Carter will also stand trial in March on drug possession charges following an unrelated arrest in Yuma, Arizona in January 2008.
