UPDATE: Birdman Released and Speaks Out

As previously reported, Cash Money Records CEO Birdman and his brother Ronald Slim Williams were among 16 people arrested for marijuana possession [mug shots included] in Kingsport, Tennessee.

According to the Kingsport News Times, the 16 person entourage left the Kingsport Justice Center in rental cars at 1:30 am this morning (Wednesday 28), after posting $1,500 bonds.

Originally reported to have been arrested with a pound of marijuana, the Cash Money Records co-founder denies the claim and states that there was only a misdemeanor amount inside the RV.

Birdman continued to denounce reports stating that he isnt in trouble with the law for carrying guns.

The guns we had were good. I do carry a gun and I am licensed, Baby told MTV. Tennessee is one of the states I can tote in. We know the guidelines [for carrying weapons].

Baby also took the time to clarify that he is NOT married and that the 18-year old woman Kingsport News Times originally reported to be his wife is merely a friend of someone in his entourage.

Im not married. Never! Been! Married! Plus, that girl was 18! Baby said. I dont get down like that! Plus, if I was married, why would I keep it a secret?

While a court date has been set for March 11, Birdman is currently promoting the release of his upcoming solo album, 5 * Stunna, which hits shelves December 11.
