DIDDY VISITS LIL WAYNE AT RIKERS!

Maybe Rikers should get a velvet rope.
Rap mega-star Lil Wayne - locked up on a gun conviction - brought in at least one more bold-faced name this week: Diddy.

The music mogul stopped by the Eric M. Taylor correctional facility to visit Lil Wayne on Wednesday. Diddy, born Sean Combs, even swapped his luxury wheels for the public bus like all the other visitors Wednesday.

Diddy was on a pre-approved list to see Lil Wayne, whose real name is Dwayne Carter Jr., and the chat was limited to an hour, sources said.

The "Lollipop" singer was jailed in March and is serving one year behind bars.

Diddy escaped a jail sentence when he was found not guilty of weapons possession and other charges after a 1999 shoot-out at a New York nightclub.
