According to gossip bible TMZ.com, convicted rapper Lil Wayne underwent extreme dental surgery yesterday in Florida. The rapper had 8 root canals, several implants and his prized platinum and bejeweled grill removed in preparation for his 12-month bid in Riker’s Island prison next month.

Wayne had his grill worked on, several tooth implants redone, more implants added and had the few real teeth he had left repaired.

This is the critical dental surgery that kept Wayne from being shipped off to the big house last week.

The judge allowed the rapper to put his sentence for felony attempted gun possession on hold until March 2 — enough time for Wayne to get his mouth prison-ready.

If that’s even possible.

Wow. And here I am scared to get two implants done in one day. Lil Weezy is better than me.
