Rapper Sean 'Diddy' Combs has bid farewell to prison-bound Lil Wayne, insisting he'll miss the rapper's "energy" while he's behind bars. The Lollipop hit-maker is due to be sentenced to a year in jail on Monday after he was convicted of weapons possession, stemming from a 2007 arrest. Lil Wayne has recorded new tracks and filmed music videos to be released while he is incarcerated, but fellow hip-hop star Combs maintains he will be greatly missed. And he hopes Wayne will use his jail term to better himself and serve as an example to those who look up to him.
Combs tells MTV.com, "I think we gonna (sic) miss a certain energy that Wayne has. The beauty about it is, he'll be back, and hopefully he'll come back a better person. Whenever we get in trouble, we're in the public spotlight. So hopefully there's a lot of kids out there who could learn from any mistakes that we may have put ourselves in, even if we're not guilty of the crime sometimes. We are human. People have to learn: 'Make sure you know where you're going, who you riding with, what the situation is.' We're targets. I'm just happy he doesn't have to do a lot of time and that he'll be out, and hopefully he'll use the time wisely and use it in a positive way."
Wayne was initially expected to be sentenced in a court hearing last month, but has been granted a string of postponements.
