Young Jeezy charged over unpermitted guns

Rapper Young Jeezy, real name Jay Jenkins, has been charged with two counts of carrying a concealed weapon without a permit after a shooting incident in Miami.

More guns in hip hop news, and US rapper Young Jeezy, who has collaborated with the likes of Jay-Z and Mariah Carey, has been charged with carrying a concealed gun without a permit.

Police found the gun after a slightly bizarre shooting incident in Miami. The incident began with a fracas involving fists rather than guns. But a passer-by filmed the fight, and when that passer-by refused to hand over the tape, one of the people involved started shooting. It's all a bit like a scene out of The OC. But with rappers.

Anyway, the group fled, but were later pulled over by police, who allegedly found two semi-automatic guns. Presumably the guns were being held by Young Jeezy, real name Jay Jenkins, because it was him who got charged on two counts of carrying a concealed weapon (or it's possible the police men just fancied charging a rapper I suppose).
