OJ Da Juiceman found himself back in the headlines this week — for all the wrong reasons.
According to NBC affiliate Lex18, the 40-year-old rapper (real name Otis Williams Jr.) was arrested on gun and drug charges in Hardin County, Kentucky on Monday (May 2).
OJ was charged with possession of a handgun by a convicted felon, possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. He was booked in the Hardin County Detention Center in Elizabethtown, with a court date set for May 13.
OJ Da Juiceman rose to fame in the late 2000s thanks to his street hit “Make tha Trap Say Aye” featuring Gucci Mane. The Atlanta native went on to crack the top 20 of the Billboard 200 with his 2009 debut album The Otha Side of the Trap while notching collaborations with R. Kelly, Jadakiss, Swizz Beatz and others.
OJ even earned a spot on XXL‘s 2010 Freshmen cover alongside the likes of J. Cole, Wiz Khalifa, Big Sean, Nipsey Hussle, Jay Rock and Freddie Gibbs, although his career hasn’t quite hit the heights of his fellow freshmen.

This isn’t OJ Da Juiceman’s first brush with the law. In 2015, the 32 Entertainment founder was arrested on gun and drug charges in Tennessee while traveling to North Carolina for a performance.
The rapper was charged with the intent to distribute, gun possession and unlawful crime with possession of a firearm after police discovered guns, marijuana and over 300 rounds of ammunition in his car.

All the mumble rappers from the soundcloud era, look into your future if you make it to 30.
Damn, whelp now we can at least take his picture off of milk cartons now.
Free my dawg OJ that boy raw
Wtf wants to go to Kentucky?!?! Gross.
Oh here we go again. There goes another one doing something stupid. Every year its the same thing.
Not to be critical of OJ Da Juice, but if Bruh wants to have guns around someone in your crew who can get a concealed carry permit, make sure all weapons are legal, find someone who can legally carry the weed sack. I know that is a lot of hoops to jump through because you may have to get a different to carry in each state, but it will keep you free. For instance you maybe able to carry a weapon in one state but not in the next state, the same with weed. Brothas stay up on these laws and stay free.
