As previously reported, Cash
Money Records CEO Birdman and
his brother Ronald “Slim” Williams” were
among 16 people arrested for marijuana possession [mug shots included] in Kingsport, Tennessee.
According to the Kingsport
News Times, the 16 person entourage left the Kingsport Justice Center in rental cars at 1:30 am this morning
(Wednesday 28), after posting $1,500 bonds.
Originally reported to have been arrested with a pound of
marijuana, the Cash Money Records co-founder
denies the claim and states that there was only a “misdemeanor amount” inside
the RV.
Birdman continued to denounce reports stating that he isn’t
in trouble with the law for carrying guns.
“The guns we had were
good. I do carry a gun and I am licensed,” Baby told MTV. “Tennessee is
one of the states I can tote in. We know the guidelines [for carrying weapons].”
Baby also took
the time to clarify that he is NOT married and that the 18-year old woman Kingsport News Times originally reported
to be his wife is merely a friend of someone in his entourage.
“I’m not married.
Never! Been! Married! Plus, that girl was 18!” Baby said. “I don’t get down
like that! Plus, if I was married, why would I keep it a secret?”
While a court date has been set for March 11, Birdman is currently promoting the
release of his upcoming solo album, 5 * Stunna, which hits shelves
December 11.
