Lil Wayne shows up at NBA game

New Orleans -  Lil Wayne turned up courtside in a red baseball cap and long dreadlocks to watch the unbeaten New Orleans Hornets edge the Miami Heat 96-93 Friday night, a day after his release from a New York City jail.

Lil Wayne, whose real name is Dwayne Carter jr, was freed on Thursday after serving eight months in a gun case. Asked how it felt to be back, Wayne told The Times-Picayune: "Like I never left."

Before his incarceration, the rapper recorded the recently released I Am Not a Human Being, a top debut on Billboard's album charts.

The newspaper said the rapper flew earlier on Friday to Yuma County, Arizona, to check in for a three-year stint of unsupervised probation for a drug conviction.

Authorities said that case will be transferred to his home state of Florida.
