"Drake has said that he and his Young Money labelmates found Lil Wayne&amp;#039;s recent prison sentence &amp;quot;difficult&amp;quot;.  Lil Wayne was sentenced to eight months in prison after pleading guilty to gun possession charges in late 2009. He was released from New York&amp;#039;s Riker&amp;#039;s Island in November 2010.  While the &amp;#039;How to Love&amp;#039; rapper has insisted that jail was &amp;quot;okay&amp;quot; for him, Drake said that the crew struggled without their leader.  &amp;quot;I think for me to be part of a team and have the general, the boss, go sit it down for like, eight months is always a difficult thing,&amp;quot; he told MTV News. &amp;quot;That&amp;#039;s like a real responsibility. I&amp;#039;m just proud of the fact that myself and Nicki [Minaj] and the entire family were able to keep things afloat until he got out and was able to release this album.&amp;quot;  It was reported earlier this week that Lil Wayne&amp;#039;s new album Tha Carter IV is on course to outsell Jay Z and Kanye West&amp;#039;s Watch The Throne.
