Too $hort has had his run-ins with bad press from time to time and earlier this week, another embarrassing headline claimed the rapper. NBC Los Angeles first reported that $hort was arrested for carrying a loaded firearm into a Burbank airport.
Recently sitting down with Vlad TV, the Bay Area-based rapper told his side of the story and said he was not arrested and that it was all just a mistake.
“I went to the airport and there was a gun in my bag and obviously it wasn’t purposely [there],” he said when asked about bring a gun to an airport. “Who would go through TSA with a pistol?… I made a mistake, packed the wrong bag, got there. When I realized what the problem was. I wanted to just talk to my legal people and say, ‘Hey man, can we figure this out?’ Probably 20-30 minutes after it happened we called back, talked to TSA, we talked to Burbank PD, we arranged for me to come back and get cited… I did not get arrested. I did not run out of the airport… I made a big fucking mistake.”
Too $hort cited his busy schedule and lack of sleep for his legal misstep. He also says he was in Las Vegas the night before the incident and was up all night, causing him to rush to the airport and make the lapse in judgement.
The story broke on Thursday that Too $hort was reportedly arrested for possessing a loaded firearm at Burbank airport. A TSA employee is said to have noticed at an airport checkpoint that the rapper had a firearm in a carryon bag. $hort then left the area without his possessions before he could be detailed and later returned with his legal team.

Nah but it is time to pull out the faults and misfortune of people who hide behind keyboards.
Commenters are the cock a roaches of the World Wide Web.
the irony
I wonder why do rappers always get caught with pistols, etc? He says that rappers live these busy lifestyles, but there are many other artists that live busy lifestyles, etc. Actors, country music singers, r&b singers, all live busy lifestyles! smh
this happens every couple years and it has to do with weed

Great explanation there genius lmao
waiting for his album release date
Sounds like he’s telling the truth though. I just wonder why rappers always get pointed out for that shit
I took my gat. I was gonna go over to Syria and fuck up isis
So he packed the wrong bag… Meaning I mistakenly used the bag that had the gun in it to pack for my trip. Who has bags just laying around with guns in them?
I’ve taken the wrong bag to work in a rush…..can’t verify his story but your comment screams you don’t do much in life
remember when he ran from the cops and got like 30 feet away the last time he got busted with meth? lol
Remember when he tried acting gangster and got run out of miami for being a fake ass bitch? He went to perform yet 100 goons were ready to eat him alive.
If your reading level allows, read my shit again. I’m not questioning whether he took a wrong bag or not. I’m questioning why he has another bag with a gun in it.
