Yesterday, Lil Boosie was sentenced to 8 years in prison after pleading guilty to conspiring to smuggle codeine, marijuana and ecstasy into Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola and Dixon Correctional Institute in Jackson, LA on three separate occasions.
Now, Boosie's lawyer is saying that the rapper is happy with the resolution because he is confident officials will allow him to participate in a drug rehab program so he can beat his addiction to codeine and other drugs.
Boosie -- who's also facing 1st degree murder charges in an unrelated case, has released a statement to
TMZ saying,
"Don’t worry about me I am getting help with my drug addiction and I am accepting full responsibility for the choice I made."
Boosie adds, "I am going to fight the false murder charge till the end. Love you all."
