Birdman Released and Speaks Out
As previously reported, Cash Money Records CEO Birdman and his brother Ronald “Slim” Williams” were among 16 people arrested for marijuana possession 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
