Dental surgery, a courthouse fire and scheduling issues should have no chance in interfering with Lil Wayne starting his one-year prison sentence later today.

The rapper was set to be sentenced last month, but Wayne's attorney requested a delay so the rapper could undergo eight root canals. Then, just hours before he was set to head to Rikers Island the second time, a fire broke out at the Manhattan Criminal Court Building delaying his departure. 

Wayne is now set to appear before his judge on Monday (March 8) afternoon and plead guilty to attempted gun possession. He's then expected to turn himself in immediately to begin his prison term. 

As the true workaholic he is, Weezy has been spending these past lucky weeks completing a number of music videos to keep fans happy while he's away; this includes shooting nine music videos in one weekend.  

Urban Spin will keep you updated on Wayne's sentencing...although we can assume this time he's heading to prison for real.
