Vic Mensa found himself in hot water when he was arrested last week in Beverly Hills, California, according to TMZ.
At first, the Chicago MC was allegedly pulled over for running a stop sign and for illegal tints, but police found a gun in the car. Mensa provided a concealed carry permit, but it was for another state.
Mensa reportedly spent one night in jail for a felony count of carrying a concealed weapon before being released on $35,000 bail.
This isn’t the Roc Nation signee’s first run-in with law enforcement as he claimed last year that he was racially profiled by police outside of a mall.

Mensa has had a fierce stance against police brutality, especially through the song “16 Shots,” which pays tribute to Laquan McDonald. The Chicago teenager was killed by police in October of 2014 when authorities fired 16 shots on the side of a road.
Fans are still awaiting Mensa’s debut album after he released the There’s Alot Going On EP last year. He tweeted in January that he was in the “homestretch” of the LP.
