Scarface Arrested at 2015 BET Hip-Hop Awards After Receiving Accolade

Scarface Arrested at 2015 BET Hip-Hop Awards After Receiving Accolade.

Scarface was honored with a special accolade at the 2015 BET Hip-Hop Awards which went down last Friday at the Atlanta Civic Center in Atlanta, GA and will air on October 13th at 8 PM EST. The veteran emcee was presented with the “I Am Hip-Hop” award, but shortly after his acceptance speech was arrested for unpaid child support.

According to blogger Freddy O, Scarface had a warrant out for unpaid child support that forbade him from leaving the state of Texas. However, this was such an important moment for the emcee that he risked getting handcuffed and attended the ceremony.

After Scarface exited the stage heading back to the celebrity trailers there were 10 sheriffs waiting to arrest him. Sources revealed that Scarface had a warrant and he was not suppose to leave the State of Texas. Scarface was so concerned about accepting his award and not disappointing his fans he risked being arrested. Snoop was back stage when Scarface was arrested and was upset that the great moment ended on a sour note. The incident resulted in the show being delayed,” Freddy O writes.

Just a month ago, the Houston legend released his twelfth studio album Deeply Rooted, which is enjoying a great response from fans. Stream it on this link.
