According to recently surfaced footage, [article id="1651386"]Lil Wayne left the big house[/article] in high style. The superstar spitter was hustled out of Rikers Island on Thursday under the noses of the media and fans, but video of Wayne being released, caught by local news station NY1, shows the MC being chauffeured in a black Maybach. The station reports that Wayne was granted a special type of release away from Rikers Island for security reasons related to his status as a high-profile inmate.

Since Weezy's release, the MC has remained on the move. He left New York on Friday (November 5) and touched down in [article id="1651641"]Yuma, Arizona[/article] to handle legal obligations stemming from a 2008 drug arrest. The superstar lyricist was spotted riding in a Black Ford Excursion that was part of a six-car caravan, and left the Yuma County Adult Probation center around 1:45 p.m. local time.

Hints about Wayne's weekend itinerary suggest the MC will be crossing several state lines and time zones in the days ahead.
