Add 2 Chainz 2 the list of rappers who’ve been caught slipping by real life goons in the San Francisco Bay Area!! (VIDEO)
Hear Lil Blood's Account
Of What Went Down...
The rapper born Tauheed Epps was walking with members of his entourage in downtown San Francisco before a performance in nearby Oakland Sunday afternoon June 9. Three men, one with a firearm, approached the group, police said.
Spokesman Dennis Toomer stated that San Francisco police believed 2 Chainz had not been the victim of the robbery; rather, it had been a member of his entourage (“He was not the victim of a robbery,” he said this morning. “He was there, but he wasn’t the victim.”).
Several hours later, during a follow-up call to SFPD, Toomer said that the information had been correct at the time of the original call, but later in the morning, investigators informed him that the victim was actually 2 Chainz.
Toomer says one shot was fired. Police say the suspected shooter apparently got away in a gray sedan.
Toomer said they were approached by a suspect carrying a handgun, who fired a gunshot. While most of the group scattered, 2 Chainz reportedly fell to the ground and was approached by the suspect, “who robbed him and fled the scene.” the rapper was robbed of his wallet, which contained credit cards and cash money, as well as a cell phone.
Police also confirmed that those involved “are being very uncooperative,” and that the suspect has been neither located nor identified.
Police say they responded to a shots fired call at 4:36pm and when they arrived at the scene 2 Chainz was there — and alone. 2 Chainz simply told them that he was relieved of his wallet and wanted to handle the situation himself. A San Francisco sergeant says video footage of the incident shows the rapper and his 14-person (not 5-person) entourage running away from the incident “like cockroaches running from a flashlight.”
"He and his crew were walking in the 800 block of Howard (headed to or leaving the Green Door Dispensary) around 4:36pm. They were approached by two Hispanic males; one produced a handgun and a shot was fired. Mr. Epps is saying he was robbed of a wallet, credit cards, US Currency and a cell phone. The suspect is still at large, and the investigation is ongoing. The suspect is 20 to 30 years old, 5 foot 6 inches and about 130 pounds. He was wearing a dark shirt and blue jeans."
But 2 Chainz sounds like he's denying anything went down at all!? As of this afternoon, the rapper is now fanning the rumors on Twitter when he tweeted,
"Rule #1 if a rapper gets robbed people usually post items that has been taken. Rings, chains, watch, money etc."
"Rule #2 if a rapper gets shot he usually go to hospital or dies."
Oh, and lest we forget -- 2 Chainz also added ...
"Rule #3 we definitely got geeked up in San Fran, best smoke in the world. 2 blessed 2 stress."
His comments seem to suggest that he wasn’t held up, but there’s also a sense of ambiguity to his comments. 2 Chainz hasn’t issued any sort of formal statement via his reps… yet. More on this as the parties involved get their stories straight. The 35-year-old rapper may be trying to steer attention away, but San Francisco Police can confirm Epps' name was listed as a victim in the case.
The Atlanta-based rapper is signed with Def Jam Records and was in the Bay Area to perform at KMEL-FM's annual Summer Jam concert Sunday night at the Oracle Arena in Oakland.

Oakland fatal shooting
A surveillance video captured a masked gunman on a rampage in broad daylight on an Oakland, California, street that includes the point-blank execution of a teenage boy cowering on a sidewalk, CNN affiliate KTVU said.
Police are now searching for the gunman who opened fire Sunday on pedestrians, sending them running for their lives into a busy street. One man is struck by a trailer, and his shoe flies into the air, the affiliate said.
The surveillance video shows the teenager putting his hands in the air, but the gunman fires several more shots into the boy point-blank, KTVU said.
CNN has not seen the video in its entirety.
In addition to the teen, who was killed, two others were injured, according to Officer Kevin McDonald with the Oakland Police Department.
He identified the deceased as 17-year-old David Manson Jr., 17. The conditions of the other two victims were not immediately known.
Taco Bell Firing California Employee For Taco-Licking Photo
The shot was made in March at a Taco Bell in Ridgecrest, 100 miles north of Los Angeles.
Taco Bell Products Inc. says the shells were provided for workers to practice making its new Cool Ranch tacos and were thrown out without being sold.
The Irvine-based company says the photograph was taken for a contest showing employees enjoying their first bite of the product. It wasn't submitted, but a worker posted it to a Facebook page -- which violates company policy.
Taco Bell says the worker also violated food handling procedures.
The company says the licker has been suspended and will be fired, while the photographer no longer works at the restaurant.

Talking About Pot-bellied pig... Fire Up The Pork, I'm Mean Blunt lol
Butcher feeds marijuana to pigs to create true high-quality meat
There are pot brownies, pot cookies, pot muffins, pot butter. The next cannabis-laced food? Bacon. And chops, ham and, well, any part of a pig you care to eat. Pot-cured pork, anyone? William von Schneidau’s BB Ranch butcher shop, located in Seattle’s Pike Place Market, is selling meat from marijuana-fed pigs. (Washington voters passed a pot-legalization initiative last fall). Von Schneidau has teamed with nearby Bucking Boar Farms for the pot pigs, who are given weed as part of their regular diet. Apparently, the stems and leaves from pot plants add fiber to the oinkers’ diets, which makes their meat more, ahem, savory. Diners also (we assume) reported an insatiable case of the munchies, finding second-helpings irresistible.Tuesday, June 4, 2013
