Petey Pablo

All is not peaches and cream for the NC hip hop scene. Yesterday Petey Pablo (who lives in Wake Forest, NC) was sentenced to 35 months in prison on a federal gun charge.

In September 2010, while passing through airport security at RDU airport on his way to the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards, a security screener found a 9mm handgun in Petey Pablo’s carry-on luggage.

Police later found out that the gun was stolen during a 2005 burglary in California. Back in March of this year he plead guilty to possession of a stolen firearm.

Petey Pablo is best known for his songs "Raise Up" and "Freek-a-Leek".
