AceShowbiz - Rapper Lil Wayne has heaped praise on Sean 'P. Diddy' Combs for cutting through prison red tape to visit him at Rikers Island in New York. The incarcerated star will be released on Thursday, November 4 after serving time for weapons possession and he's thrilled that so many of his famous friends visited him during his stay at the notorious jail.

In a letter to urban magazine The Juice, Wayne writes, "All artists and friends were very supportive. Thank God I've gotten two visits a week since the day I walked in. I'd have to say the visit from Diddy was most surprising because there's a lot that you're required to go through and to think he did just to see me is more than cool. But again, everybody has been more than supportive. I never felt alone."
