Rapper And Entourage Arrested For Obstruction

Authorities say rapper 2 Chainz has bonded out of an Oklahoma jail after he was arrested on an obstruction charge.

Oklahoma County Sheriff's spokesman Mark Myers says 2 Chainz, whose real name is TauheedEpps, paid the $2,000 bail around 1:50 p.m. Thursday and was released.

The Atlanta-based rapper was one of 11 people arrested after refusing to get off a tour bus for almost nine hours following a traffic stop in Oklahoma City.

2 Chainz performed in Oklahoma City on Wednesday with Lil Wayne and T.I. His 2012 debut album topped the Billboard charts.
