4. It was announced that Lil Wayne’s jail date was moved because of emergency dental surgery; however it wasn’t revealed just how extensive this procedure was going to be. After eight root canals and eight hours of surgery, Wayne’s mouth is finally in ship shape. Additionally Wayne received some implants and touch ups of his diamond encrusted teeth. With just a a few weeks left before he heads to prison, he will for sure spend most of his time recovering.
