Rap Sheet: Lil Wayne Gets indicted

• Shocker: An Arizona jury indicted Weezy on felony drug and weapon charges. As you may recall, the Cash Money mogul’s tour bus was stopped and search back in January of this year, yielding “four ounces of marijuana, just over an ounce of cocaine, 41 grams of Ecstasy and miscellaneous drug paraphernalia.” His tour will continue but he’s gotta be back in court on March 7.

• Vindication?: Remy Ma claims that prosecutors screwed up her case by failing to link her crime with DNA evidence. She’s accused of assault, criminal possession of a weapon, gang assault, and even witness intimidation.

• Delving: Dr. Dre began an investigation into the now defunct Death Row Records, hoping to find documents that will settle a dispute over unpaid royalties since the label filed for bankruptcy protection in April 2006. Dre is also trying to reclaim right to his 1992 solo hit album, The Chronic.
