Petey Pablo Is An Idiot (Part 3)
From TMZ:
The U.S. government claims Petey Pablo is a full blown liar — stating in legal docs the rapper KNEW he had a stolen gun in his bag when he tried to board a plane on … of all days … Sept. 11, 2010.
Pablo — real name Moses Barrett III — was indicted by a grand jury last week after security at Raleigh-Durham International Airport discovered a Smith & Wesson 9mm pistol and ammunition in his bag last month. … and now a federal judge has issued a warrant for his arrest.
The grand jury has charged Pablo with possession of a firearm by a felon, possession of a stolen firearm and attempting to take the gun onto an airplane.
According to the docs, the grand jury claims Pablo knew he was in possession of a “concealed dangerous weapon that was and would have been accessible to him in flight.”
As we previously reported, Pablo claims it was all a mistake — insisting that he had confiscated the gun from a friend long before he packed for the airport … and simply forgot he had hidden it in his travel bag.
UPDATE: TMZ spoke with Pablo’s rep … who tells us the rapper was not aware of the warrant — but now that he’s been looped in, Pablo plans to surrender to authorities early tomorrow morning.
Shyne Suddenly Changes His Mind About Def Jam
Ahhh, just read it yourself. Found on SOHH:
I’m definitely trying to get with Cash Money but the Def Jam thing is a question mark right now. I’ve been fixing to get up out of there for a while now because [Island Def Jam CEO] L.A. Reid don’t care about hip-hop. The people up there, they don’t know what they’re doing. When you don’t have a strong leader, where you gonna go? They don’t care about hip-hop music. You give them a hip-hop record with an R&B singer, you “might†have a chance. They don’t care. You got The Roots, Ghostface, Nas, probably the best hip-hop roster you could imagine and they do nothing. L.A. Reid doesn’t want nothing to do with rappers — it’s nothing personal, I don’t have nothing personal with dude but he makes it known he doesn’t care about hip-hop. So I’m really interested in seeing who’s gonna replace him. Because I know he’s been replaced — so I wanna find out who’s gonna take his spot before I decide what I’m gonna do with Def Jam…The music that we make is responsible for pop, R&B, everything that’s jumping right now.
They gotta care about [what we’ve done] the way Jimmy Iovine cares about that, the way Lyor Cohen cares about that,†Shyne added. “I’m definitely not gonna scrap everything I recorded. I put in so much, I’ve come so far. From the first record I did when I got out to the new records I’ve done while going to all these different countries, I ain’t scrapping nothing. I paid for that. I’m not signed to Def Jam anyway, I just need to find another distributor. I might just have Cash Money do everything. Who knows? That’s the beauty about being in the business for yourself. You can decide where you want to go and what you want to do.â€
