2 Chainz found himself in hot water with the law at New York City’s LaGuardia Airport yesterday afternoon.
The “No Lie” rapper was arrested for possession of “brass knuckles,” which are illegal in the state of New York.
2 Chainz’s arrest would be completely warranted if he really possessed “brass knuckles,” but the item confiscated by the NYPD is merely a blinged out four-finger ring that 2 Chainz often rocks.
Anyone who’s up on trends knows 2 Chainz is staying “truuu” to fashion with his gold finger jewelry.

MTV caught up with the T.R.U. REALigion rapper to find out what really happened at LaGuardia Airport, and 2 Chainz had a lot to say about his run-in with the law.
“They tried to assassinate my character, they tried to assassinate my swag. It was just a negative dilemma earlier where someone misconstrued a piece of jewelry for a weapon and stuff.”
2 Chainz continues explaining the large selection of custom pieces he owns.
“I do exclusive pieces. My pieces are actual conversation pieces, like, literally. When you see my gold, when you see my stuff, it’s something to conversate about. People weren’t doing four-finger rings and all that. I just like to set myself apart, so I definitely wasn’t trying to beat nobody up on the airplane or nothing.”
2 Chainz probably won’t be brought up on charges, and it seems like his whole arrest is one big misunderstanding.
NEWSFLASH to the NYPD! A four-finger ring isn’t brass knuckles – no lie!
