Following last week's arrest where he was hit with felony drug and weapons charges, Lil Wayne scrambled to make a show in Richmond, Virginia after appearing in an Arizona courtroom on Friday (January 25), then making the show that night.

He made the show though, but barely -- actually hours late, but made it up to fans with a more than three hour performance.

According to the Richmond Times-Dispatch, Weezy made the stage just before midnight on Friday night, when over 3,500 fans greeted him after waiting several hours for him to arrive.

The paper reports that the rapper's private plane was delayed from leaving Arizona and then had to be re-routed. When he finally made it on stage, he explained his lateness to the crowd who greeted him with overwhelming support and cheers.

"I just flew in not even 10 minutes ago," he told fans, said the paper. "I just had to deal with a whole lot of bullsh** today, but I guess you know that. ... I want you to know that none of y'all up in this building have nothing to do with the attitude that I have right now. I'm not the happiest man right now.

"When your friends tell you one thing and they're gonna be there for you and then when you get to that point ... ," Wayne continued as he turned to the small crowd standing behind him onstage. "I just want all the motherf***ers that been with me that ain't never gonna be with me to note, I did it for y'all. To the ones that ain't gonna be with me no more, die. Let's start the show."

After moving through songs like "I'm A Dboy" and "Duffle Bag Boy," Wayne left the stage, only to be booed because the fans wanted more. But, just 10 minutes later, he returned. Maybe he was taking a break. But, after, performed for one more hour.

The rapper also used the stage to address the aforementioned drug arrest, saying it's not possible to do the things he does on drugs.

"A junkie can't do what the f*** I do. I try to tell them," he said. "I am the ultimate high, understand? I am my drug, you understand me?"

Lil Wayne is facing three felony drug charges -- including one count each of possession of a narcotic drug for sale, possession of dangerous drugs, misconduct involving weapons, not to mention one count of possession of drug paraphernalia.

The arrest took place on Tuesday (January 22) just outside the city of Yuma, when his tour bus was searched at a Border Patrol checkpoint.

He was taken into custody and held overnight until he was released on $10,000 bond.
