Vic Mensa Slapped With Probation In Concealed Weapons Case

    Vic Mensa’s autobiography just got a new chapter. The Roc Nation rapper pleaded no contest to carrying a concealed weapon and received two years of probation, according to TMZ. The second count of carrying an unregistered loaded firearm was dropped.

    The Chicago native was originally facing two years in jail, but through a plea deal, was able to get away with the probation, a $500 fine and $1,325 in restitution.

    Mensa was stopped by police in Beverly Hills, California four months ago for running a stop sign. The officer discovered he was carrying a loaded, unregistered handgun without a concealed weapons permit, and promptly arrested him. After serving one night in jail, he posted $35,000 bail.

    Mensa is currently preparing the release of his debut album, The Autobiography, which is expected to arrive on Friday (July 21).

    It’s not looking good for Vic Mensa after he was arrested earlier this month for gun possession while cruising through Beverly Hills. TMZ reports that the Roc Nation signee could be facing up to two years in jail if he is convicted for the charges he is facing.

    Mensa is being prosecuted for carrying a loaded, unregistered handgun and carrying a concealed weapon without a permit. He is scheduled for a court hearing next month.

    The 23-year-old rapper was reportedly pulled over after cruising through the hills for running a stop sign and illegal tints. Authorities then found a loaded gun inside the car. Mensa provided a concealed carry permit, but it was for another state. He spent one night in jail before posting $35,000 bail.

    1. That’s what happens when you’re confused and wanna play social prophet but you’re really still a young dummy.

    2. Man, who does Vic Mensa think he is??? I bet Kendrick, someone who grew up in Compton, doesn’t even carry a weapon on him. Real recognize real and Vic is not a real one. He’s probably basking in the street cred he thinks he’s about to get. This is literally a sad situation of a misguided youth. Grow up Vic. Stay in your lane and let the streets go cause it just doesn’t fit who you are.

      1. Facts. This guy was in a hipster Jazz-Rap group. Why does he need to carry a gun? Why is he fucking around?

        1. I’m assuming bc there are people with bad intentions that would like to rob a celebrity. Let’s be real here folks. You’re an artist, well known. It’s not like he was on some gun clapping/flashing mission. And we do have the rights to bear arms. He had a permit. It’s too bad it wasn’t for the state he was in. Why the gun was unregistered was his ignorance at play.

    3. Carrying a gun in Beverly Hills while driving black you deserve what ever amount of time they give you im sure Roc Nation is ready to drop you Next !

    4. I love Vic but man he keeps fucking up….. Like who has a gun while driving through beverly hills?? Its all a contrived effort to seem hard cause we know hes a softy who was in a hipster jazz rap band lol

    5. My kid sister who is in junior high could break this dude’s fucking jaw in under 10 seconds.

    6. I’m seeing a lot of people on here asking why he needs a gun. It’s because he’s fucking black in America. If you read the whole story you would see clear as day that he has licensed to carry a gun , it’s just from another state. It’s his fault for not reading reciprocity laws but it was a mistake…he wasn’t looking for street creed. The shit says he ran a stop sign in Beverly Hills. Since when does running a traffic sign mean get searched…he will likely beat this charge.

      1. Hmmm good point i guess…. But still, he didnt just carry, it was loaded and if you pay close attention to Vic and followed him from the beginning he does appear to be putting on a bit of an act.

    7. A plea deal huh? For a weapons charge in CHICAGO of all places where unlawful carry and possesions are met with rough sentences either hes got some community service coming or this mans a little bitch ass snitch only thing this pussy knows how to blow is a load in his boyfriends hand… seriously though how fucking hard is it to get a concealed permit ive had mine for 10 years…

    8. THIS LIL NOBODY RUNNIN’ AROUND BEVERLY HILLS WITH A PISTOL!!!! LMFAO!!!! WHEN KEEPIN’ IT REAL IN THE SUBURBS GOES WRONG!!!! FUCKIN’ CORNBALL!!!! LOLOLOLOL!!!!!
