"Uh Oh"...Lil Wayne and Ja Rule arrested

"Uh Oh" is the name of a the hot new single by Ja Rule and Lil' Wayne; It also may have been what the two were thinking last night when police arrested both artists on charges of carrying illegal .40-caliber guns.

Ja Rule, 31, of Saddle Brook, N.J., and Lil' Wayne, 25, of Miami, were each arrested and charged with criminal possession of a weapon, police said.


Ja Rule's real name is Jeff Atkins; Lil Wayne's is Dwayne Carter. They were arrested shortly after Lil Wayne's concert at the Beacon Theatre in Manhattan. It was not immediately clear whether Ja Rule had also performed.


Police spotted Lil Wayne and another man smoking marijuana by a tour bus near 61st Street and Columbus Avenue at about 11:30 p.m., police said. The officers took the two men into custody, finding the pistol. Both were charged with criminal possession of a weapon and marijuana.


Ja Rule was arrested about an hour earlier on West End Avenue. Police said he was in a luxury sedan that was speeding. Officers stopped the car and arrested the Ja Rule, the driver and another man -- and found the weapon, police said.
