2 Chainz Arrest: Rapper Arrested After Police Confused Jewelry For Brass Knuckles

2 Chainz Arrest

2 Chainz was arrested at the LaGuardia Airport in New York on Tuesday after a pair of "brass knuckles" was found in his possession.

Police officers took 2 Chainz into custody for misdemeanor possession of a weapon in the 4th degree.

When news spread about the rapper's arrest, his friends Big Sean and DJ Drama clarified on Twitter what they think what was really in 2 Chainz' bag.

"2 chainz ain't have no brass knuckles, it was a 4 finger ring that spelled hood. We had a shoot yesturday n he was rockin em.(sic)" Big Sean tweeted.

DJ Rama, meanwhile, attached a photo of 2 Chainz wearing the jewelry to a tweet saying, "U mean that 4finger ring type brass knuckles? Oh. Ok. #free2chainz @2chainz."

It was indeed just a four-finger ring and the rapper was later released that night after spending some hours behind bars.
