JumpinJack AJ Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 Snoop Dogg Caught With Weapon at Airport AP IRVINE, Calif. (Oct. 23) - Prosecutors are considering charges against Snoop Dogg after authorities discovered a 21-inch collapsible baton in his bags as he boarded a New York-bound flight, authorities said Monday. The rapper, whose real name is Calvin Broadus, had the baton in his laptop case as he went through a security checkpoint at John Wayne International Airport on Sept. 27, sheriff's spokesman Jim Amormino said. Snoop Dogg, 35, told sheriff's deputies that the baton was a prop for a movie he was filming in New York, Amormino said. "He had a collapsible baton and it is classified as a dangerous weapon," Amormino said, adding that the stick collapsed to eight inches. District attorney spokeswoman Susan Kang Schroeder said her office received the sheriff's report on Monday. She said prosecutors had not yet decided whether to charge Snoop Dogg, who was not arrested. It wasn't the first time the rapper has had a problem at an airport. In May, he accepted responsibility for using "threatening words or behavior" in an April brawl at Heathrow Airport in London. Snoop Dogg and five other men were arrested on charges of violent disorder and starting a brawl after some members of the rapper's party were denied entry to British Airways' first-class lounge. Seven officers received minor injuries - mainly cuts and bruises - and one suffered a fracture to the hand. British Airways has banned Snoop Dogg from future travel on the airline, it said last month. Snoop Dogg was convicted in 1990 of cocaine possession and was charged with gun possession after a 1993 traffic stop. Facing a possible three years in prison, he pleaded guilty in exchange for three years' probation and his promise to make anti-violence public service announcements. He also was acquitted of murder in 1996 following the death of an alleged street gang member killed by gunfire from the vehicle Snoop Dogg was traveling in. Snoop Dogg's 1993 album "Doggystyle" sold 5 million copies. NYC Judge Rules in Favor of Busta Rhymes By PAT MILTON, AP NEW YORK (Oct. 24) - A judge ruled Tuesday that prosecutors could not charge Busta Rhymes with possession of a weapon - a machete found inside a sport utility vehicle - following his Aug. 12 arrest on an assault charge. Rhymes, 34, appeared at the brief hearing before Criminal Court Judge Shawndya Simpson. The judge rejected a prosecution request for the additional charge against the rapper. According to prosecutor Harrison Scheiloch, a machete was found in the rear seat pocket of an SUV in which Rhymes was a passenger when he was arrested following a performance at the AmsterJam Music Festival on Randall's Island. Rhymes, whose real name is Trevor Smith, was charged with assault after he allegedly attacked a man for spitting on his car. He is due back in court Dec. 11. The rapper, who wore two large diamond stud earrings, a gem-encrusted watch and a diamond pinkie ring, said nothing during the hearing. But he took a minute to tell the courtroom sketch artists, "I love it when you make me look good." He left the courthouse in a crush of photographers, camera crews and reporters, climbing into a black SUV. Rhymes' hits include "Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Could See" "Dangerous" and "Touch It." He has also appeared in films, including 2000's "Shaft" and "Finding Forrester." Mario Grows Up, Shuns Beef With Ne-Yo Posted Oct 24th 2006 4:26PM by Donya Blaze Filed under: Soul/R&B A very excited Mario stopped by AOL Music's New York studios recently to play tracks from his upcoming third album. We're talking sheer leaping-out-of-his-chair-and-exclaiming-'That's the sh*t!'-when-his-favorite-cut-comes-on excited. He also didn't hold back when asked about the breakout success of another singer. "I respect Ne-Yo," Mario said of his collaborator on 'Let Me Love You.' "I think he's very talented, but you gotta have your own swagger. "Everywhere I see him, he's saying he wished he kept the song for himself. But it wouldn't have been the same. The passion I have for it would be totally different from [his]. He portrayed it as if [the song] didn't belong to me, as if I didn't do that joint. Sometimes you gotta let go and let the past be the past, bro." Yet Mario insisted there's no beef between the two, noting that they worked together again on the song 'If.' The 20- year-old is now focused on making his own household name: "On this album, I'm introducing my full name, Mario Barrett, to add a whole 'nother vibe to where I'm going. I want my fans to feel more personal with me, because we've grown together." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
