Lil Wayne's sentencing postponed again

The incident was reported by MTV News, which said it was unclear when the hip-hop star's sentencing would be rescheduled.

The New York Fire Department said a boiler in the basement of 100 Centre Street in Manhattan may have been responsible for the fire, which filled the courthouse's lobby with smoke and forced an evacuation of the building.

NY1 said five firefighters, two civilians and one criminal suffered minor injuries as a result of the fire.

Lil Wayne was scheduled to be officially sentenced last month, but a judge said he could wait until Tuesday so he could undergo necessary dental surgery.

The rapper pleaded guilty to felony weapons possession last year after police found a loaded semi-automatic gun in his tour bus.
