<p>Petey Pablo ran into some legal trouble this past weekend after he was arrested at North Carolina's Raleigh Durham Airport for carrying a Smith & Wesson pistol in his carry-on luggage. Pablo was arrested with the handgun on Saturday, Sept. 11, nine years after the terrorist attacks on America. But after posting $50,000 bond, Pablo, born Moses Barrett III, claims that the gun wasn't actually his, nor that it was a publicity stunt to promote his new music. Pablo says he was simply protecting a friend from doing something stupid.<br />

News <p>GRAND RAPIDS -- It was the day to interview B.o.B.<br />
<br />

<br />
"Um, it feels ...," began Bobby Ray Simmons Jr., pausing for three seconds, "it feels so good."<br />
<br />
A lengthy bout of elated laughter followed over the phone as the Atlanta-raised and -based artist was getting ready to sound check for a performance at Six Flags St. Louis.<br />
