Lil Wayne would probably like 2009 to disappear fast.

December 21st starting at 11 am/10 C, Fuse TV will be having a wall-to-wall marathon dedicated to one of hip hop’s most bedeviled stars, Lil Wayne.

Drug busts, baby daddy drama (four and counting, all different mothers) and hit records have made the last few years for Wayne a whirlwind.

Lil Wayne and an entourage traveling with him through Texas were detained by authorities last Friday after U.S. Border Patrol agents found marijuana on the rapper's two tour buses.

A total of 12 members of Wayne's crew were detained and received citations, but Wayne did not, an attorney for the rapper told website TMZ.com.

The Border Patrol K-9 smelled the drugs, and authorities searched the rapper's two tour buses. Both vehicles were found to be carrying marijuana onboard, according to a spokesman for the agency.

Lil Wayne is scheduled to be in a New York court on February 9, where he's expected to be sentenced to up to one year in prison for attempted gun possession stemming from a 2007 arrest in Manhattan. The rapper also has had recent past legal troubles in Arizona, where he was arrested for possession of drugs too. 

Fuse celebrates Lil Wayne in a big way; all day and all night.  This day of wall-to-wall coverage dedicated to Wayne illustrates the size of his legion of fans and the strength of their support. 

Nothing but the best Weezy videos, interviews and more: it’s the Lil Wayne Takeover of Fuse TV, all day Monday, December 21st from 11 am/10C.
