Gun Play: Rappers With Weapons Charges
Newsflash: Rappers are big supporters of the Second Amendment. Or so it would seem, judging from the ridiculous number of MCs who've been arrested for weapons possession or other gun-related charges over the years. (Isn't that what entourages and security guards are for?) Nelly had a close call recently when police found a loaded pistol, marijuana and heroin on his tour bus in Texas. One of Nelly's staffers ended up getting arrested, but the rapper avoided charges. By doing so, he avoided joining a long, long list of hip hop stars who've been arrested for packing heat. Click on to see just some of the rappers who've caught weapons charges over the years.
