Lil Wayne will start his year-long jail sentence today, it is understood.

The rapper has faced several postponements in his sentencing following dental surgery and a reported fire in the courthouse basement.

A New York corrections officer told MTV News: "He'll be housed with inmates who are classified in his category, and he'll be able to be a regular inmate.

"He'll be able to watch television, go into the day room and congregate with people of his classification. He'll have no preferable treatment at all. He'll be treated like a regular inmate."

The 'Lollipop' star is to serve time over a charge of gun possession from 2007.
