According to online reports, rapper Lil’ Wayne has missed a court date in Arizona. Wayne, real name, Dwayne Carter Jr., was arrested back in January (08) after police officers stopped his tour bus with thick smoke pouring out of the windows. Police allegedly discovered a stash of illegal drugs on his tour bus.

Yesterday, a no-nonsense Miami judge denied the bond of another troubled rapper, DMX, on the recommendation of a different Arizona judge who revoked his bond there. Maybe Wayne was shook after witnessing his cohort breaking down in court yesterday.

Wayne reportedly missed his court date due to an “unnamed medical treatment.” But my source is telling me that the unspecified medical treatment was a dental procedure. It seems strange to me that Wayne can make the time to be everywhere else – on video sets, performing in clubs – but he can’t find the time to be in court due to a toothache??

Why couldn’t he sip some syrup to ease his pain and take his ass to court? Doesn’t syrup have Codeine in it? Wayne’s next court date is October 18 – and I hope the judge throws the book at him.
