2 Chainz JAILED For Obstruction Of Justice After 8-Hour STANDOFF With The Cops

2 Chainz and 10-members of his entourage were booked into the Oklahoma County Jail after they refused to allow the police to search their tour bus.

Wednesday, 2 Chainz performed alongside Lil Wayne, T.I. and Future for their America’s Most Wanted Tour and apparently they "celebrated" on the bus.

Initially, cops pulled 2 Chainz's tour bus over for a busted taillight, but once cops made contact with the driver, they realized some illegal activities had been going on. But cops weren't allowed to confirm their suspicions because 2 Chainz and the crew LOCKED the doors and refused to allow them to search the bus. The cops towed the bus to their parking lot and began a search once they obtained a search warrant. Mind you....all of this took 8 hours!

Oklahoma City Police Department Sergeant Jennifer Wardlow told Radio.com,

“We stopped the bus about midnight and it was near I-40 and Meridian,”while the investigation was still underway. The reason for traffic stop was it looks like there was a broken taillight. When officers went up to bus and made contact with the driver, there was evidence of drug usage going on the bus. We’re not getting into specifics of what it was, but it was apparent to the officers that there was drug use going on the bus. The driver was taken into custody without any problem. When he got out and shut the door, it locked so the officers couldn’t get into the tour bus.

“The decision was made to tow the bus to our police training facility and obtain a warrant. It was about 8 a.m. Oklahoma time when they were able to get a warrant, and it was at that time that all the people who were on the bus came off.”

According to the AP, investigators DID find narcotics on the bus but they could not determine who they belonged to. But over on Twitter, Titty Boi/2 Chainz claims they didn't find anything!

FYI.....the officers took the following persons into custody:

Tauhed Epps (2 Chainz)

Cedric Brooks

Abdullah Mujahid

Rory Smith

Jermaine Simister

Stethen Boykin

Jack Brown

Marshall Sudderth

Robert Jordan

Leon Smith

Bryan Gathii

Yep, all the government names on blast. We'll keep you posted on future charges.....

Scott Storch Robbed At Gunpoint In NYC

Scott Storch is having a bad day. The renowned producer, and alleged coke fiend, was robbed at gunpoint Tuesday outside of his hotel in New York City.

TMZ reports:

TMZ has learned ... 39-year-old Storch just filed a police report in NYC, claiming he was leaving the New York Palace hotel on Madison Ave. when he was approached by two men with guns while he was inside a waiting SUV who said, "Give us all your jewelry and cash or you're dead."

Law enforcement sources tell us Storch handed over a briefcase which contained $4k to $5k in cash ... along with several pieces of jewelry.

The men also demanded the driver of the SUV hand over the keys to the ride so they couldn't drive away ... and the driver complied.

Eventually, we're told the bad guys ran off without opening fire. Storch says he tried to chase after the guys to see where they were headed, but they got away.

Storch -- who's in town for the MTV VMAs -- went to a nearby police station and filed a report.

This story definitely sounds like a set up.

Toddler Shoots Himself In The Face

A Michigan father mourning his 3-year-old is urging gun owners to store their firearms safely – so they do not suffer the same fate.

Brian Holbrook’s baby boy Damon found a loaded handgun on the floor of a bedroom closet in their Dundee home.

He accidentally shot himself in the face late Sunday afternoon, authorities said.

“We r all hoping to wake up from this nightmare,” Holbrook wrote on Facebook. “Though we know that it is now a living nightmare. My baby boy is gone & I will never get to hold him again.”

Damon was declared dead in an emergency room in Joseph Hospital in Ann Arbor at 5 p.m., according to police.

The gun belonged to Joshua Michael Greenhill, 30, a close friend who lived with the family, police said.

Greenhill was charged with careless discharge of a firearm causing injury or death, a misdemeanor punishable by up to two years in prison, according to local station WXYZ.

He was released on a $1,000 bond and had to forfeit his concealed pistol license identification. A pretrial conference is slated for Sept. 4, reported The Detroit News.

The tragedy does not diminished Holbrook’s support for the Second Amendment but it does reaffirm his belief in the need for a magnitude of proper safety precautions.

“All I ask is that everyone please, please safety first lock it up and put it out of reach of anyone that has no business being around a gun especially kids,” he said.

Three other children were home at the time.

The incident is still under investigation. Anyone with further information is asked to call the Dundee Police Department at 734-529-3430.

Kanye West Passed On American Idol Judge Gig Because It Would Ruin His Rep

Kanye West is one interesting character. Word is that Yeezy was offered the final judge position for the forthcoming season of American Idol. However, the “New Slaves” rapper passed on the gig because it was too “mainstream” and would ruin his reputation.

Reports via US Weekly:

A source tells Us Weekly exclusively that the hip hop star was offered the third and final spot on Idol’s judging panel for the upcoming 13th season. After thinking it over, however, he decided to pass, in part because he worried it would hurt his reputation.

“He didn’t want to go that mainstream,” the source tells Us of the “Black Skinhead” rapper, 36, who has a 2-month-old daughter, North, with Kardashian, 32. “He didn’t want to lose any street cred. So he turned it down.”

Forgive us for stating the obvious, but Kanye West is all things mainstream and has pretty much never had to worry about “street cred.”

To his credit, these aren’t Yeezy’s own words. So who is this source and how did Yeezy wrong them? Just saying.

American Idol producers seemed to be thirsty for a Black judge because they reportedly interviewed Will.i.am, Sean “Diddy” Combs and Rodney Jerkins for judging spot that ended up going to producer Dr. Luke.

Kanye West will be appearing on Kris Jenner’s Kris talk show for a lengthy interview this TODAY!
