Let's face it, Petey Pablo's 15 minutes passed when I was still catching the activity bus home from practice in high school.
The artist who put a North Carolina anthem on the national map made major headlines on Sept. 11 when he was caught in Raleigh/Durham International Airport sneaking a 9mm pistol and ammo onto a plane. Of course, TMZ did the due diligence to get details on the story and found out the rapper had in fact lied about knowing he was carrying the weapon on him.
Reports swirled last night the artist would be surrendering to federal officials today. But it was last week, when a jury indicted Pablo for a number of charges including possession of a firearm by a felon, possession of a stolen firearm and attempting to bring the firearm onboard.
In the midst of all this, Petey Pablo popped up at GHOE, North Carolina A&T's Homecoming in Greensboro to grace the stage with rapper J Cole during the concert which also featured Drake and Rick Ross.
Cole, who is undoubtedly the flag bearer for North Carolina hip hop at the moment, brought Pablo out to perform his hit, "Raise Up" and acknowledge his role in putting North Carolina in the national hip hop conversation.
Video below. GHOE was amazing.
