Memphitz On Gun Incident, “I’m embarrassed about it….I love my wife.”

Last week, Memphitz (husband of Toya Carter, producer and Sony Executive) was arrested in Atlanta after attempting to bring a firearm through security at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport.

Memphitz called in to Atlanta’s “Frank & Wanda Show” to provide an explanation:

”I’m embarrassed about it… It’s not something I’m going around parading about. It really was a simple mistake…it was a big mistake. I have a license, it’s just for protection and self-defense only, to protect my family… I’m not driving around like a hoodlum out there. I usually have it locked up in the house or in my car when I’m traveling. So I took it out of my car and put it my backpack and put it in the house. I hadn’t traveled in a week or so, and me and my wife were…headed to the Magic show in Las Vegas. We were rushing like, ‘I can’t miss this flight.’ So I picked up my computer and my bag and just went to the airport.”

 

He continued:

“First of all, I would’ve never pushed my bag through the scanner.  I’ve been traveling too long and I’ve transported guns before. Somebody was like, ‘Somebody got a gun; it’s a gun in this bag.’ I was looking around like, ‘What fool brought a gun?’ and Toya was looking at me like, ‘It’s in your bag.’ ‘No, it’s not.’ Then I started remembering and I was like ‘oh no’…  I told [Toya] she could go ahead and go to Las Vegas. She said, “I’m not leaving you.’ I love my wife.”

He also explained how the incident will impact his job:

“I still have to handle this with my job… I don’t know how they’re feeling about the situation. It was a misdemeanor. The judge told me she understood my situation so I just told her, ‘It will never happen again.’ That’s not who I am, that’s not what I put out there. I put out positivity, motivation, making sure kids is on the right path, and that’s what I’m about.”
