Lil Wayne will release his first ever autobiography on Oct. 11. Titled Gone 'Til November, the book chronicles Weezy's life as an inmate at Riker's Island for most of 2010. 

A representative for Penguin told the New York Times back in June that Gone 'Til November was sourced directly from the journal that Wayne kept while he was incarcerated, and that it "reveals the true story of what happened while he was at Rikers Island, exploring everything from his daily rituals to his interactions with other inmates to how he was able to keep himself motivated and grateful."

Page Six reportedly got their hands on an advance copy and have shared a number of revelations from the book, including the fact that Weezy officiated over a gay wedding for two other inmates. The reception was understandably low-key, and all those involved toasted the couple with 13 bottles of Gatorade. "Gatorade is liquid gold in this bitch," Wayne wrote. "Imagine seeing grown-ass men in jail hanging tissue for wedding decorations. AND one of them is Lil Wayne. Crazy.”

Weezy describes getting visits from Kanye West and Puff Daddy, but admits to feeling depressed when Drake admitted to him that he slept with one of his past girlfriends. "Finding out that she [bleeped] Drake was the absolute worst thing I could have found out," he writes in the book. "Drizzy came to see me, he was like, 'Yeah, it’s true.' Damn! This is the type of [bleep] a man never wants to find out while he is locked up."
