The rapper known as “Chubbie Baby” was arrested outside a nightclub early Christmas morning on a felony charge of carrying a concealed weapon.

Chubbie Baby was nabbed in the Velvet Room’s parking lot by an off-duty police officer who spotted a bulge in his back pocket.

Chubbie’s story was that he forgot he had the loaded weapon on him. He never made it inside the club.

Earlier this year, Chubbie released a track featuring Bobby Valentino titled “Superstar Status”. The two men co-hosted a well-attended Investment Club party this past Wednesday night at Luckie Lounge.

The former Diplomats member recently signed a lucrative record deal with club promoter Alex Gidewon’s record label.

Ironically, Chubbie, 27, who is listed on his police report as 5-foot-7 and 240 pounds, starred in the 2006 direct to DVD film Killa Season as a firearms dealer (see still from the movie above).

As of this writing, Chubbie remains in the Dekalb County jail awaiting bond. He may not make bond until after the busy holiday weekend when a judge is available.
