By Rahman Dukes Lil Wayne Photo: Kevin Winter/Getty Images Next Tuesday, Lil Wayne is all but certain to begin his one-year jail sentence on weapons charges , after his expected sentencing was delayed by dental surgery . But Wayne is making sure he’s heard before then, by opening a new Twitter account — under the name LilTunechi — — and having another marathon Ustream session Sunday night on Young Money artist Lil Twist’s site. During the stream, Wayne talked briefly about his surgery, revealing his new pearly whites (and golds) and the removal of his lower diamond-studded grills. “Yeah, I got the bottom grill out for right now” said Wayne. “That’s why I’m not showing ya’ll too much.” The MC also said he plans to hit his new Twitter account hard before he goes away. At press time there were just a handful of tweets, but he’d only been at it for 14 hours. “How do I follow somebody?” Wayne asks Lil Twist in the Ustream video, moments after rejoining Twitter. “Somebody ask me to hit them up.” “Y’all even seeing Wayne go through the whole Twitter process!” Twist jokes. “He don’t know what he’s doing.” “I don’t know what I’m doing!” Wayne agrees. “I was born in the ’80s. This sh– wasn’t out then.” (In his first tweet, Wayne wrote: “I’m super new to this twitter sh– but wudup tho !……….follow me biot
