Rapper Crunchy Black Of 3-6 Mafia Arrested For Meth Possession In Vegas

Three 6 Mafia rapper Crunchy Black is a man who knows what he wants when it comes to drugs … but according to cops he isn’t too good at getting it.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ the Oscar winner was roaming the streets of Vegas early Tuesday when he was stopped for walking into an intersection when the “do not cross” light was flashing.

It didn’t take long for cops to discover meth.

According to the police report, Crunchy’s response was hilariously incriminating. He said, “Oh damn. I was trying to buy that powder, not meth.”

For bad measure the ‘Three 6’ rapper also had 2 warrants for his arrest. He was booked for possession and for providing a phony name. He’s still in custody.

Crunchy has other problems. He’s still a wanted man in Minnesota after allegedly beating his girlfriend in a hotel room.

A rep for Crunchy Black tells us the rapper wants to move forward with his life and will handle the charges in court.

Singer John Legend Launching ‘FREE AMERICA’ Campaign In Efforts To End Mass Incarceration

John Legend is using his talents to address a social cause. The Academy Award-winning singer has announced that he is launching a campaign to end mass incarceration, FREE AMERICA.

“We have a serious problem with incarceration in this country,” Legend told the Associated Press. “It’s destroying families, it’s destroying communities and we’re the most incarcerated country in the world, and when you look deeper and look at the reasons we got to this place, we as a society made some choices politically and legislatively, culturally to deal with poverty, deal with mental illness in a certain way and that way usually involves using incarceration.”

The first things on Legend’s agenda will be to perform at a correctional facility in Austin, TX and then to attend a press conference with state legislators to talk about Texas’ criminal justice system. The Grammy-award winner will also co-host a criminal justice event with Politico in Washington, DC and pay a visit to a prison in California.

More artists will be added to the campaign in the future.

“I’m just trying to create some more awareness to this issue and trying to make some real change legislatively,” he said. “And we’re not the only ones. There are senators that are looking at this, like Rand Paul and Cory Booker, there are other nonprofits that are looking at this, and I just wanted to add my voice to that.”

Rapper Nelly Arrested On Felony Drug And Gun Charges In Tennessee

According to Fox News, Nelly (rapper) was pulled over by the police in “Ten-a-key” (that’s Tennessee for all of you non-hood-non-southerners) last night/early this morning and arrested on several charges, both felonies and misdemeanors.

The charges range from gun possession and drug (marijuana, meth) possession –to anything else the cops could pin on him.

My question here is why the meth? I wasn’t aware that meth was even remotely a drug of choice within the hip hop community, apparently I don’t know much!

Peep the article below!

Rapper and reality TV star Nelly is facing felony drug charges after being arrested in Tennessee on Saturday.

Tennessee Highway Patrol said in a news release that Nelly, whose real name is Cornell Haynes, was pulled over about 9:20 a.m. because the bus he was riding in failed to display a U.S. Department of Transportation and International Fuel Tax Association sticker.

According to the release troopers smelled marijuana when they reached the bus.

When troopers searched the bus, they found five rocks that tested positive for meth, as well as a small amount of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.

Troopers also say they found numerous handguns.

The St. Louis native is facing charges including felony possession of drugs and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Nelly, 40, was released from Putnam County Jail on a $10,000 bond. His next court date is June 19.
