2 Chainz, formerly Tity Boi, was released after the po-po examined the 4-finger ring chain, which police assumed was an illegal pair of brass knuckles.
“They tried to assassinate my character, they tried to assassinate my swag,” 2 Chainz told MTV News in an exclusive telephone interview. “It was just a negative dilemma earlier where someone misconstrued a piece of jewelry for a weapon and stuff.”

Deion Sanders Ordered to Pay Pilar Sanders $10.5K Per Month, $275K in Legal Fees
It isn’t all bad news for socialite Pilar Sanders, who was tossed into a Texas jail last month for assaulting her estranged husband, NFL great Deion Sanders.
According to ABC News, Sanders, 44, has been ordered by a Texas court to pay 38-year-old Pilar $10,500 per month in child support for their three children and $275,000 in legal fees.
Sanders filed for divorce from Pilar in December after finding love in the arms of songwriter Babyface’s ex-wife, Tracey Edmonds.
But Pilar is a bitter, vindictive woman who decided not to move out of Deion’s sprawling $5.7 million Prosper, Texas mansion, despite the fact that Pilar reportedly has her own home in Celina, Texas.
Usher puts Tameka Foster’s home on the market
R&B crooner Usher Raymond recently put the palatial mansion that he once shared with ex-wife Tameka Raymond on the market — and he’s giving her 60 days to vacate the premises.
Public records show the 33-year-old singer purchased the home in 2007 (the year he married Tameka) for $3,040,000. But the value of the home has dropped over a million dollars in recent years.
Usher filed for divorce from Tameka in 2009 after living apart for over a year. He moved to the west coast and let Tameka stay in the mansion with their sons, 4 and 3, and her sons from previous relationships. But the terms of their divorce allows Usher to sell the mansion whenever he wants to.
Friends say Usher is tired of sinking thousands of dollars into the mansion for its daily upkeep. He wants Tameka out so he can unload the pricey property and cut his losses.
Denver Nuggets Cut Ties With ‘Birdman’ Amid Child Sex Crime Allegations
To many observers, Denver Nuggets center Chris Andersen is a strange bird. From the full body tattoos to his spiked hair, Birdman, as he’s known to his many fans, makes an interesting first impression when he walks into a room. But one thing people probably don’t view him as is a child sex predator.
On Thursday, Andersen’s Colorado home was the scene of a flurry of activity as Douglas County sheriff’s detectives served warrants and seized evidence from his home.
Andersen has been under investigation since February, when the Douglas County sheriff’s office received a tip from California authorities that child porn was either exchanged or downloaded from a computer inside Anderson’s residence.
