Lil Wayne won't be going to jail today after all -- his hearing was just postponed due to a fire in the courthouse where he was scheduled to be sentenced.
The fire occurred in the basement of the Manhattan Criminal Court building at 10:30 AM sending smoke throughout the building and causing a complete evacuation.
The fire was under control by 11:55 AM -- but the damage was done ... because Lil Wayne's attorney says the courthouse has now been shut down for the rest of the day.
Wayne -- who pled guilty to attempted weapons possession last year -- was supposed to be sentenced last month ... but the rapper was able to delay the hearing until today so he could have dental surgery on his grill.
He will be sentenced tomorrow.............Yeah this isn't fishy at all.
