In any event, this isn’t the Atlanta rappers first time having a run-in with police. Last year, he was arrested for having brass knuckles. He recounted the story to MTV, saying:

 “They tried to assassinate my character, they tried to assassinate my swag. It was just a negative dilemma earlier where someone misconstrued a piece of jewelry for a weapon and stuff. … I do exclusive pieces. My pieces are actual conversation pieces, like, literally. When you see my gold, when you see my stuff, it’s something to conversate about. People weren’t doing four-finger rings and all that. I just like to set myself apart, so I definitely wasn’t trying to beat nobody up on the airplane or nothing.”

Stay tuned, as we get more facts about his UMES arrest. P.S. Does a weed grinder warrant an arrest?
