Nas Breaks Silence On DUI Arrest

New York rapper Nasir "Nas" Jones has confirmed recent reports that he was arrested in Georgia on DUI charges earlier this fall and said he was a victim of police profiling.

The popular emcee was approached by media over the weekend and asked about his September arrest.

"What's going on?," Nas asked on-street media as he exited a building. "No such thing man, no such thing. Yeah, that's hilarious right? You know what it is, profiling man. But you know they can't stop a good man from shining. Y'all take care. Yeah, you know what I mean? Take care man." (TMZ)

According to lawyer John C. Mayoue, Nas is now in the clear.

A lawyer for Grammy award nominated rapper Nas refutes reports of the rapper's DUI charges from a Sept. 10 arrest. John C. Mayoue represents the New York. native. "Nas has not been charged with any offense whatsoever, including DUI," said Mayoue. "The state's own lab results were negative for any drugs, including marijuana." (Atlanta Journal-Constitution)
