He has officially been cleared of his weapons charges after the prosecutor said there was not enough evidence to support the case, according to ABC News. The charges stem from a raid on his tour bus while he was performing at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater in Mountain View, California, alongside Wiz Khalifa on the Under the Influence Tour. There had been a fatal shooting backstage at the concert and Irvine PD raided Jeezy's bus in connection to it, while looking for weapons they found an assault rifle they believed to be his. He as well as several members of his entourage were charged with gun possession. The "Seen It All" rapper has announced today that he was cleared of all charges stemming from the incident in California.Jeezy released the following statement regarding the event."I pray this had nothing to do with race, but it definitely had nothing to do with evidence. Words cannot express how vindicated I feel with these charges being dismissed today," Jeezy said in a statement. "While my team and I always knew that the allegations and charges were based on zero facts, the rush to judgment by both the media and the police has been extremely disappointing. I'm relieved that the truth has ultimately prevailed and I would like to thank those who have always stood by me, including my family and fans."
