2 Chainz arrested in Oklahoma
An Atlanta rapper is behind bars today after his tour bus was stopped in a midwestern state. 2 Chainz, real name, Tauheed Epps, was arrested Thursday alongside 10 members of his entourage.
According to News 9, the rapper was taken into custody after his tour bus was pulled over in Oklahoma City for a broken taillight. Officers then said they suspected that there were illegal drugs on the bus but the driver refused to let them onboard. Furthermore the occupants of the tour bus refused to leave the vehicle.
The bus was then towed with 2 Chainz and his posse onboard until police obtained a search warrant. Police have not reported on their findings during their search.
The rapper and his friends were jailed briefly for a misdemeanor charge of obstruction. 2 Chainz was in town for a stop on his “America’s Most Wanted” tour with Lil Wayne and T.I.
He has since taken to Twitter to vent about the situation as seen below.

2 Chainz was arrested in 2012 for misdemeanor possession of a criminal weapon after airport officials mistook his four-finger ring for brass knuckles.
