Legendary Houston rapper Scarface had a very interesting weekend. He received a career achievement award and later was put in handcuffs, both within minutes of each other. Hit the jump for details.
The rapper was at the BET Hip-Hop Awards in Atlanta Friday night, having just accepted the I Am Hip-Hop Award, when cops descended on him, placing him under arrest.
Turns out there’s an outstanding warrant against Scarface for unpaid child support. He was taken to Fulton County Jail. He was still there as of Sunday AM, according to the jail.
That is a serious bittersweet weeekend for the Houston rapper. He went from being honored in front of all of his peers, to being embarrassed in front of the whole industry. Hopefully he can beat the case.
