The plane — a Gulfstream G-V capable of accommodating up to 14 passengers and crew — was traveling from California, according to Opa-locka airport officials. Agents discovered that Lil Wayne, popularly known as Weezy but whose real name is Dwayne Michael Carter, Jr., was a passenger on the plane along with others. All of the passengers had to wait at the airport until federal agents completed the search of the private aircraft.Carter, who according to records now owns a 10,000-square-foot home in Miami Beach, made headlines in May when he refused to play the Rolling Loud hip-hop festival in Miami Gardens because of a mandatory police check.
Before he was set to take the stage, he tweeted: “I’m sorry but I won’t be performing.”
