Scarface was released from jail Friday (October 16) and has issued a statement regarding his arrest for unpaid child support.
“First and foremost I would like to thank my supporters for their concern during my recent arrest in Atlanta,” Scarface says in a statement to AllHipHop. “While we have resolved the issue I would like to correct some misinformation. The amount reported that was owed is inaccurate and I had no knowledge about there being an arrest order for me as I have traveled to Atlanta many times; with the latest trip being in September to perform at the One Music Festival. Due to the nature of the case [having a minor child involved], I will make no further comment at this time.”

After accepting the “I Am Hip Hop Award” at the taping of the 2015 BET Hip Hop Awards Friday (October 9), Scarface was arrested, FreddyO reports.
“After Scarface exited the stage heading back to the celebrity trailers there were 10 sheriffs waiting to arrest him,” the site says. “Sources revealed that Scarface had a warrant and he was not suppose to leave the State of Texas. Scarface was so concerned about accepting his award and not disappointing his fans he risked being arrested. Snoop [Dogg] was back stage when Scarface was arrested and was upset that the great moment ended on a sour note. The incident resulted in the show being delayed.”
The awards ceremony took place in Atlanta and will be aired Tuesday (October 13).
Alive 11, an NBC affiliate in Atlanta, says that the Houston rapper was arrested for unpaid child support.
Today, he is still in police custody at Fulton County jail, according to TMZ.

LOL damn Face!!
The law has had it out for face ever since they shut down that investigation on rapalot. Let that man live already
Face mobb said fuck them niggas I’m in this bitch!! Haha real nigga right there.
American child support laws are ridiculous
My question is this. How is it that every rapper in the game calls the industry fake but when you have the REALIST rapper in the game nobody supports him? I dont know the whole child support story so I wont comment on it. But Deeply Rooted was the best album this year by far! Better than Dr.Dre, Kendrick, and whoever else you could name.
It was a good album for an aging MC, but definitely not better than To Pimp a Butterfly.
Great album. One of the year’s best, but not as good as Kendrick’s or Dre’s albums.
STAY AWAY FROM BLACK WOMEN! When will brothers learn that the worst vultures are Black women.
Man wtf he just served like 2-3 years for child support BS and now they STILL arresting him for Child support? That female needs to disappear.
Yea why should never banged a ho lol that kid can be 50 and he can still owe forever until paid aND if the state helped they pile on interest on top of interest.
Hey, just two question i have – who? and are we supposed to give a fuck?
Who? Lmao kid u need a smack if u don’t like face
To white women all day they will get ur ass for child support too all women are just a like don’t matter what color they are money is the bottom line
My statement was relative. Black women are more evil than White women. Kanye, Alfonso Ribeiro, John Legend, Eddie Murphy, Cuba Gooding Jr., Tim Duncan, Tiki Barber and Sidney Portier all look very happy. How many 10’s of millions of dollars have DMX, Nas, Master P, Terrell Owens and Scarface lost to Black women??!! They are diabolical.
bruh fuck you and your white women you racist piece of shit, if you really think skin pigmentation has something to do with a person’s behavior you need to have your fucking brain replaced you idiot, it’s easy to single out others and act as if their situation represents a whole race of people, but I can point out just as many or more black couples in productive relationships and just as many white guys with child support problems, you ignorant dickwipe.
Of course skin pigmentation has do with behavior, it does indirectly. Skin color is often tied to cultures and subcultures. Black American women on average are more likely to bleed you for child support payments than White women. That’s a fact. It’s just like East Asian cultures on avg. perform better than Americans in math, because they spend more time in school learning it and persistence within academics is emphasized more. That doesn’t mean all Asians are good at math, but on avg. they perform better than Americans because of their cultural values. Calm down.
I’m almost certain face said the child in question is 18 now
Fucks Scarface…………….Dead Beat Peace of Shit!
All that Dope Man talk and this fool can’t pay child support.
Face is Fraud!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Damn.. child support? smh
I have zero sympathy for niggas ducking that. I pay mine. Don’t like it and of course the ex ain’t using it for shit but getting fresh for new niggas, but I’m not gonna pout about it. It’s what I gotta do to stay free. Charged to the game. I’m paying a bitch to stay ous my life… Fuck it.
I’m tired of these sorry ass hoes…and you dumb ass niggas who think this shit is funny just because your dumbasses got caught up. Stupid fucks. Some of you don’t know shit about this system and it shows in your comments. Another thing….I just thought about this…..to the women who get off on this shit….and the corrupt system that allows it….If it is truly about the child….how much support do you think the child is going to get while daddy is locked up? These sorry hoes are so stupid they can’t see the forest for the trees. The system obviously does not care about you either. They knew that you “supposedly” could not take care of your child by yourself…..because you cried to them for help from the babies father. So….in order to “HELP” you…..they throw the man in jail. Boy…..once you bitches’ kids get old enough to realize what YOU did to their daddy…..I guarantee you this moment of petty triumph you think you had will not be worth it. Real talk.
Damn straight!
How can he be in jail? I’m listening to him now.
