Lil Wayne is heading to the Big House, but in an interview with the new issue of Rolling Stone the hip-hop star implores fans not to worry about him while he’s behind bars.

“This is Lil Wayne going to jail. Nobody I can talk to can tell me what that’s like,” he told the mag. “I just say I’m looking forward to it……“I look at things as ‘Everything is meant to be,’” Wayne explained. “I know it’s an experience that I need to have if God’s putting me through it.”

The “Lollipop” hitmaker pleaded guilty to a felony gun charge in October and will begin a 12-month sentence at New York’s Rikers Island on Tuesday.
