A website that touts itself as “The Most Visited Black Website In The World” is reporting that Wayne is headed to rehab. 

June 03, 2008. MediaTakeOut.com just caught wind that rapper Lil Wayne may be ready to give up his syrup habit. In recent interview, Wayne - whose song Lollipop is currently the number 1 song in the country - has bragged openly about his addiction to prescription cough syrup.

But that addiction may be coming to an end. A person close to Lil Wayne tells MediaTakeOut.com that the rapper is on the verge of striking a plea deal with Arizona prosecutors that would have him entering an in-house drug treatment program. 

Wayne currently faces 3 felony charges in Arizona - stemming from an incident earlier this year where police found drugs and guns in his possession. The insider explained to MediaTakeOut.com, “Under the deal, [Wayne] wouldn’t go to jail, [instead] he’d spend some time in a rehab facility - preferably Meadows Rehab Center … They’re working out a way to make it so that [Lil Wayne] can still meet all his current [booked performances] and it won’t mess with the release of his album The Carter 3 next week.”

Meadows Rehab Center is a private facility in Wickenburg, Arizona. It’s former patients include model Kate Moss, rocker Pete Doherty and R&B singer Whitney Houston.
