Police discovered two semi-automatic pistols and a 12-gauge pump shotgun, along with some prescription painkillers and marijuana residue, on a tour bus occupied by Tauheed Epps — better known as rapper 2 Chainz — and 10 other men, according to papers filed Tuesday in Oklahoma County District Court.
Additional details in the arrest of Atlanta rapper 2 Chainz, which took place late last week in Oklahoma City, are beginning to surface thanks to the release of a police affidavit filed on Monday (August 26).
According to Yahoo News, the affidavit states that the police officer involved first “smelled an overwhelming odor of marijuana” when the door to the tour bus was opened by the vehicle’s driver, Sedric A. Brooks. The officer then witnessed what he says was “smoke inside the bus around the door.”
Following the Oklahoma City officer’s observations, he then attempted to board the bus, but was unable to after Brooks’ “quickly” closed the door.
One passenger onboard 2 Chainz’ tour bus then presented a miniature copy of the U.S. Constitution when asked by authorities to get off the bus.
Due to the unwillingness of the passenger’s to get off the vehicle, it was then towed to a police training facility. At this point, those on the bus were forced to evacuate due to a search warrant.
2 Chainz and the others on the bus were then arrested and charged with obstructing a police officer. Those involved were released shortly after.
The entire incident took place on the morning of August 22 shortly after the “Feds Watching” rapper took part in Lil Wayne & T.I.’s America’s Most Wanted Tour.
Although 2 Chainz may have found himself in quite the legal debacle due to the tour bus incident, the rapper was still present at the Atlanta album listening party for B.O.A.T.S. 2: Me Time this week. 2 Chainz may have been in high spirits during his listening party, but during an interview taped shortly after, the Southside emcee seemed regretful as he reminisced on his days selling drugs.
“When you on the block or when you trying to feed your family, in the case that we were doing, you don’t realize how ill it is,” said 2 Chainz while speaking with Nitecap With Peter Bailey. “How wrong it is. You know what I mean? I remember, when we used to start thinking ‘Crack is wack. We need to stop.’ I remember when it finally hit us, but I remember—like today, just before my listening party I had a bunch of my friends over from the past and we just reminisced about when we did this. Like it don’t seem real.”
2 Chainz’ full interview with Peter Bailey can be found below.
UPDATE: Though some details of the arrest were reported in late August (above), new developments have surfaced about this case due to court documents filed Tuesday (September 3). According to the court documents, police reportedly found two semi-automatic pistols and a 12-gauge pump shotgun on 2 Chainz’ tour bus, as per The Oklahoman. Police also reportedly found prescription painkillers and marijuana residue on the tour bus according to The Oklahoman, which also reports that charges are pending for Chainz and members of his entourage.

obstructing a police officer is probably a lot worse than possesion of marijuana.

2 Chainz alright with me.you can tell he’s real humble
getting robbed on video is a humbling experience i imagine
Anytime the P-ussy O-fficers L-iving I-nside C-orrupt E-nvironments start stalking you already know what time it is….They saw the bus, didn’t have shit else to do and decided it was time to fuck up people’s day and waste taxpayers dollars over some BS!!
2 chainz and his entourage are the ones who wasted tax payers dollars by obstructing the police and having them tow the bus to their lot where they waited for a warrant
^spoken like a true white boy
It was a “broken tail light” stop (WHERE’S THE CITATION FOR THAT SO WE CAN SEE).”
They saw weed smoke AROUND the doors? Thru tinted windows? LOL, even the feds said they ain’t worried about that, WHY WERE THEY? WEED IS NOT AN AMERICAN PROBLEM.
Tax payer dollars? US IN THE URBAN AREAS OF AMERICA PAY TAXES TO FUND THESE LONELY ASS TOWNS AND STATES. That’s OUR MONEY!
AND WHERE IS THE CONFISCATION OF DRUGS REPORT? HOW MUCH DID THEY FIND?
AND, they held a copy of the CONSTITUTION up! Why does THAT only work for YOU, but NOT them?
LOL
STFU
they didnt find shit cause they had hours to smoke, eat swallow flush whatever they had
my buddy’s ex-wife makes $77/hour on the laptop. She has been fired for six months but last month her pay check was $21524 just working on the laptop for a few hours. see this… http://www.Cafe44.com
Shut up @huh? Lupe’s response was creative and most diverse. And he wasn’t even trying! Lupe is still dope have you heard F&LII? Production was crappy but still Lu always delivers lyrically.
The feds was watching!!!!
What was the reason why the tour bus was stopped?
The tour bus allegedly had a broken tail light. Typical police bs.
or maybe it really had a fucked up tail light and they could see clouds of dope smoke
Good lawyer might be able to prove this was a racial profiling incident if that was the case
Im Wack as fuck but peeps keep buying my shit.
Lol at one of the dudes pulling out a mini copy of the U.S. Constitution.
My Uncle Easton recently got a year 2013 MINI Cooper Countryman Wagon by work part-time using a laptop. take a look at the site here… http://www.Cafe44.com
Recovery – he been sober, this album chronicles is struggle and fight with is demons, this showed is struggle to rap again, the will and fire to rap was lit once again, this album showed is insecurities as a rapper.
“I’mma BE FRESH AS HELL IF THE FEDs WATCHING”
yes you are mr chainz,coz thats the only time you gonna be fresh without having your shit took-nuff said
lol youre crazy
“WEED IS NOT AN AMERICAN PROBLEM”
Tell that to the 15 million Americans who smoked pot last year.
you still got robbed now what a police really 2 shit
2 chainz has been having alot of bad luck lately on his tour bus, invest in a plane.
That sucks.
But shouldn’t mufuckaz have abandoned using tour busses already seeing as how the pigs get easy pickins pulling them over?
Or a B.O.A.T !!!! HAAA!!!!
i thought he said to ask the cops what they found in the search because they didnt get nothing?
he should have had them guns when he was getting robbed
Prime example of profiling. You have white artists that are known for drug use that don’t get any attention from police. Imagine what they would find if pulled Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears,anyone from Guns n Roses, I could down the list of known white drug addicts that never get harassed from police.
Lindsay lohan has had multiple run ins with the police as im sure guns and roses and many other rock bands have
you cant call it racial profiling if the bus full of niggas is also full of guns and drugs…. you should be mad at 2 chainz for perpetuating these stereotypes and making his people look bad
When was the last time police found an Mac-10 on Britney Spears’s tour bus?
yeah when does Lindsay lohan roll around with a mossberg pump shotty?
i agree with anonymous 2, he shouldn’t be making his people look bad like this. He shouldn’t surround himself with that type of company.
Damn, that ain’t good. Checkout thegrandreport, they got some good hip hop videos on there
No. get outta here. don’t nobody wanna check that shit out.
Ole, bumb as site. Graphics look like someone did the site at home while bumping 2 chainz
Racist niggas. 2 Chainz will go platinum when his album drops followed by Self Made Vol. 3 and the diamond selling nothing was the same.
Everything you just said is a lie. 2Chainz and MMG won’t even go gold and NWTS will be platinum at the most.
This nigga smokin’ dope.
How is it Obstructing when he waited for a warrant. Isn’t that what the police have to get to search the vehicle anyway? If 2 chainz has a good lawyer he’ll get it thrown out on the fact there’s no basis for a traffic stop, especially if they didn’t cite for a tail light.
if you pull a nigga over for a busted tail light and see clouds of dope smoke through the windows thats probable cause and the tail light aint really shit no more
Clouds of smoke is not a reason to pull a vehicle over. It clearly says that it was a “tail light” which is probably horse shit. If his lawyer can prove there is no lawful reason to be pulled over, all evidence found thereafter should be thrown out of court.
just promo for the album after he was robbed and looked like a bitch def jam done the same when officer ricky got exposed
NO,REALLY?
Drake walks into a restaurant with a pair of nail clippers and lands on the FBI’s ten most wanted list.
