Lil Wayne’s love of music has landed him trouble behind bars - guards have reportedly discovered "contraband" including iPod earphones and a charger in his cell.

The hip-hop star began serving a year-long sentence at New York's Rikers Island prison in March after pleading guilty to gun possession charges.

Wayne has been hit by four separate lawsuits since he was locked up - all stemming from allegations the Lollipop hitmaker owes royalties to several producers, and the rapper is in hot water once again after a search of his cell found that he was hiding banned music equipment, according to the New York Daily News.

A source tells the publication, "He was found in possession of a charger for an iPod or an MP3 player and unauthorised earphones." According to the insider, the star will be charged with an infraction.
