In the new issue of Rolling Stone — on stands and online in the digital archiveson January 21st (subscription required) —Lil Wayne opens up for the first time about his time in prison. (See video from his cover shoot below.) During his eight month stint in Building C-76, cell 23 at Rikers Island, Weezy worked as an SPA (suicide prevention aide), listened to a lot of music on the radio (oldies and Hot 97) and played countless games of Uno with his cellmates in the Protective Custody division.

"I'd bust a nigga's ass at Uno," he told writer Josh Eells. "We gamble for phone time. I'd take nigga's commissary: Lemme get them cookies, lemme get them chips, get that soup."

Eventually his cellmates stopped inviting him to games. "They'd be like, 'Oh, we thought you were asleep,'" Wayne says. "Like you can't look inside my cell and see that I'm right there! We ain't got no doors!"

Other highlights from the piece:

- When Wayne sat court-side at a recent Miami Heat/New Orleans Hornets game he was upset that Lebron James and Dwyane Wade never came over to talk to him. "Them niggas never speak to a nigga," he says. "They don't chuck me the deuce or nothing. Nigga spent all that money on them fucking tickets ... Come holla at me. We sit right by them little bitch-ass niggas. At least come ask me why I'm not rooting for you."

- In prison he read biographies of Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Marvin Gaye, Joan Jett, Vince Lombardi and Anthony Kiedis. "[Kiedis'] Scar Tissue was really good," he says. "I also read the Bible for the first time. It was deep! I liked the parts where some character was once this, but he ended up being that. Like he'd be dissing Jesus, and then he ends up being a saint. That was cool."

- He spent his final month in jail in solitary after he was caught with an iPod charger in his cell. It could have been worse: He also had a watch with an MP3 player on it, but another inmate took the rap. "He was a solid nigga," says Wayne. "Shout-out to Charles...Solitary was the worst. No TV. No radio. No commissary. Basically you're in there 23 hours a day." The only upside was he had a window where he could watch cars go by. "I used to sit at that motherfucker all day," he says.

50 Cent Makes $8.7 Million by Tweeting

Would you like to know how to become a millionaire by using Twitter?

Try asking rapper turned mogul Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson, who recently made a cool $8.7 million yesterday from a series of weekend tweets stemming from his appearance at this year's annual Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. During his visit Jackson shared knowledge about his latest business venture with H&H Imports (HNHI), who serves as the distributor of his forthcoming line of wireless headphones.

The no-name penny stock company's stock closed on Monday up by 240% raising its stock to 39 cents per share netting the business $50 million, according to the New York Post.

"You can double your money right now. Just get what you can afford," the 35-year-old tweeted to his 3.8 million followers about H&H Imports who also owns the Kevin Harrington founded marketing firm TV Goods. Adding, "They are no joke get in now...Check out TVGoods.com official site of Kevin Harrington."

According to various reports, last October during a private placement, Jackson received 30 million shares of H&H including options granting him the opportunity to cash in as the company's stock increases.

Not bad for a weekend gig, considering the company closed yesterday at 39 cents raising his 30 million-share stake by $8.7 million. 

Sleek by 50 Cent Platinum headphones are set to arrive in stores in April.
