Juicy J fielded some fan questions via Twitter on Wednesday (June 17) and during the exchange, admitted he carries three guns on him at all times.

In a since-deleted tweet, the Three 6 Mafia OG said, “I never tried to be some tough guy for attention but I keep 3 straps on me at all time & I will shoot if I have to I don’t care about jail.”

He added in a follow-up tweet, “Nobody wants to go to jail. I have a friend of mine doing life but if you are in a situation kill or be killed you wouldn’t have time to worry about jail.”

Naturally, Juicy’s tweets started to stir up controversy and many questioned why he couldn’t just rap about positivity considering the current climate in the United States. He explained that’s precisely why he’s strapped.
