Game/life over. From TMZ:

The guy who shot up Lil Wayne’s tour bus just got nailed by a judge … and sentenced to 20 years.

Jimmy Carlton Winfrey pled guilty to 6 of the 27 counts in connection with the tour bus ambush outside Atlanta last April.

The judge broke down the 20 year sentence by ordering him to serve 10 in prison and another 10 on probation.

The indictment mentions Winfrey used a cellphone after the shooting which was owned by Birdman, who’s being sued by Lil Wayne over a Cash Money dispute.

According to a rep for the D.A., the 6 charges are all gang-related.

Lil Wayne Bus Shooter Claims He Had No Intent To Kill Anybody

From TMZ:

The man accused of shooting up Lil Wayne’s tour bus now says the notion he’d try to off Weezy is as absurd as Drew Brees trying to kill rival QB Matt Ryan.

Lawyers for Jimmy Winfrey — who’s currently behind bars, awaiting trial for the shooting in April — claim their client did not have a motive to hurt Wayne. The lawyers acknowledge Winfrey was an associate of Young Thug, but they say Y.T. idolizes Wayne.

The lawyers acknowledge there’s rivalry in the rap game, but that doesn’t mean rappers automatically want to kill each other. Winfrey’s lawyers say, “Clearly, the New Orleans Saints and Atlanta Falcons are rivals because they are fighting every year to win the same division: the NFC South. Yet, this does not provide a motive for Drew Brees to kill or maim Matt Ryan.”

The lawyers say there are indeed actual rap beefs, but the idea that Wayne and Young Thug are the next Tupac and Biggie is absurd.

Lil Wayne Is A Playable Character In ‘Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5’

You can also watch Wayne and Hawk with Conan in the hilarious clip above. From TMZ:

Lil Wayne just got the ultimate compliment as a skater — he’s now a playable character in the new Tony Hawk Pro Skater 5 video game … and he’s PUMPED about it!

In fact, Weezy sat down with Tony and Conan O’Brien to take the new game for a test drive … and it’s pretty hilarious.

Wayne’s been skating for years — and has earned some serious respect from some of the pros.
