Uno Champion of Rikers Island Infirmary

American rapper Lil Wayne has opened up about his eight-month stint in a New York jail for gun offences, saying it "wasn't difficult as people might think".
The 28-year-old - renowned for his utterances - boasted about his success as a Uno champion but said not having conjugal visits was the hardest part of his experience at Rikers Island in New York City. "Don't remind me, Brother," he told Rolling Stone in an interview.
He said he was so good at Uno that his cellmates refused to invite him to their games.
"They'd be like, 'Oh, we thought you were asleep,'," Wayne said. He would reply: "Like you can't look inside my cell and see that I'm right there! We ain't got no doors!"
"I'd bust a n----'s ass at Uno. We gamble for phone time. I'd take n----'s commissary: Lemme get them cookies, lemme get them chips, get that soup."
But he admitted his time in solitary confinement for being caught with an iPod charger was "the worst" and he would spend it looking out of a window.
"No commissary. Basically you're in there 23 hours a day," he said. "I used to sit at that motherf---er all day."
