Fabolous Shot, then Arrested

Brooklyn rapper Fabolous was shot AND arrested today after enjoying a meal at Diddy’s restaurant in Manhattan. Fab and 3 of his boys had just left Puff’s restaurant (no, not Burger King) when they were rushed by a lone gunman, who shot the rapper in the thigh and then ran away.

Now, what is the proper course of action for a rapper who’s just been shot? Do you call for an ambulance? Hell no, if you’re Fabolous, you and your crew hop in the whip (an ‘05 Dodge Charger) and run a red light! After this, the police pull you over and discover two semi-auto pistols! Of course, the guns were unlicensed, and all four passengers were taken to jail. At least the cops were nice enough to let Fab go to Bellevue for treatment after placing him under arrest.

Look for Fab to star in a public service announcement reminding the kids to dial 911. Or perhaps Dodge will make him their latest hip-hop spokesman.

DMX Arrested for Abusing Flight Attendants

DMX, always the gentleman, was arrested yesterday in London for refusing to wear a seatbelt and for being abusive towards flight attendants at the same airport that Snoop Dogg was arrested.

Some of you may be shocked to discovere that this isn’t DMX’s first offense!

In 2004, the Yonkers native was busted for plowing his SUV through a security gate at New York’s JFK Airport and then telling bystanders he was an undercover federal agent. DMX pleaded guilty and was initially sentenced to 60 days, but the judge tacked on an extra 10 after the hip-hopster showed up late to court. (He blamed his tardiness on an asthma attack; the judge didn’t buy it.)

He probably had an asthma attack from smoking crack. That takes my breath away.

T.I. Arrested for Hating the Poor and Downtrodden

T.I. was arrested yesterday for failing to do the community service that was part of the terms of his probation. T.I., who is famous for glamorizing the fruitfulness of the hustler/rapper lifestyle, has been living quite the life lately. In addition to having the pleasure of being arrested for ignoring the needy and downtrodden, T.I.’s best friend was shot and killed recently. Even though “You can look me in my eyes, see I’m ready for whatever,” T.I. decided to cancel his Japan tour because of the arrest. You have dishonored your family, TI!

In more positive news, T.I. recently won the annual Pharrell Look-Alike contest!
