Lil Wayne On Suicide Watch

Lil Wayne is on "suicide watch" in prison - he's has been asked to keep an eye on desperate fellow inmates, according to his ex-girlfriend.

The rapper, real name Dwayne Carter Jr., began his year-long stint for gun possession in maximum-security New York prison Rikers Island in March, and he has been given a big responsibility behind bars.

Antonia 'Toya' Johnson, the mother of Wayne's 11-year-old daughter, tells UsMagazine.com, "Wayne has a job. They got him on suicide watch for other prisoners. He watches the crazy prisoners and makes sure they don't kill themselves.
He likes the job, even though they don't pay him much."

She insists her ex is "doing OK" and "getting along with everybody".
