T-Pain and his bodyguard Carlos Aleili Flores were stopped at the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport on Friday (August 31) when TSA discovered a gun in T-Pain’s carry-on bag, which Flores was carrying at the time.
Officer Brown at the Atlanta Police Department confirmed that security guards found a loaded Smith & Wesson .380 inside his luggage. The Grammy Award-winning artist was taken aside by TSA agents for questioning.
As the incident was unfolding, Mr. Tallahassee Pain shared an Instagram photo of a City of Atlanta gun case and revealed his trip to Lubbock, Texas just hit a snag.
“Might be a tad bit late today,” he captioned the photo. “Things at the Atlanta airport are getting………… eventful.”
HipHopDX reached out to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport media relations who gave the following statement:
“On August 31, 2018, at approximately 1:40 P.M. while going through the main domestic checkpoint, a firearm belonging to Faheem Rashad Najm (T-Pain) was located in a grey backpack carried by Carlos Aleili Flores. Flores was identified as Najm’s bodyguard. Flores was detained at that time.
“Flores and Najm were relocated to the Atlanta Police Airport Precinct to continue the investigation. Najm advised that he was the rightful owner of the firearm and provided his valid permit to carry. Najm’s weapon was returned to him, and no charges were filed. Flores was also released, and an investigation will continue to determine if he will face further charges for possession of a weapon at a TSA checkpoint.” [apple_news_ad type=”any”]

I have to completely agree with the comments below. What the fuck is it with rappers and either forgetting or purposely bringing guns when catching a flight? It’s not the kind of thing you or your security should forget about when you’re making sure you have your passport and other things etc. with you in your bag smfh.
I hate i miss T Pain concert when Greenwood SC Civic center that’s now demolish I need get back to that ” Sprung ” feeling and that ” In Love With A Stripper ” feeling or something like a Stripper !
shoot as many people as you can in the airport – go on a fucking rampage.
…….annnd now the nsa are tracking you. Pussy
As if this auto tune hasbeen even needs security lmao
What a dumb phaggot
Lmao
The white man gave the negro freedom, and the negro does everything it can to give it back.
Calm down. This has nothing to do with rappers or black people. Even professionas make this same mistake all the time. There’s even an article about a guy making it through security with a gun in his laptop bag. It’s only an issue if the gun is stolen or you’re a convicted felon.
When you get LICENSED to carry you’ll see how easy it is to do because you’re used to having your gun on you all the time.
Right. It’s not a felony to try to take a gun into a secure area like an airport or a courthouse, right? Fuckboy.
It’s cute when kids call people names on the internet. If you read the article it clearly stated no charges were filed and his weapon was returned. Although it is a felony they almost never arrest you if the gun is legal and you have a permit. It’s a common accident of gun owners. Of course you’re probably too young or too broke to own a gun so you don’t know.
Whats really going on how in the hell these guys will never learn about guns in the airport don’t mix like oil and water T pain just be glad you not in New York you be facing some time
