Too $hort : “The Accusations Against Me Regarding My Arrest Were Untrue & Exaggerated”

Last Thursday, Too $hort was arrested and charged with misdemeanor battery in Boise, Idaho after an altercation with security guards at the Knitting Factory. In a police report, the guards claimed the fight happened when the West Coast legend attempted to bring underage girls backstage. In a statement to XXLMag.com, Short Dog denied the allegations.

“The accusations against me regarding my arrest in Idaho on July 15th, were untrue and exaggerated,” he said. “Normally I would ignore rumors, but because of the nature of the story that’s being spread I had to say something. I don’t blame these outlets for running with the story because it’s about Too $hort the ‘dirty rapper’ who has never had a scandal and it involved the words ‘underage girls.’ However, due to my work with young people in Oakland I am extremely outraged at the way I am being portrayed. The incident that night was completely taken out of context and I have not and never will take advantage of any woman that is underage. Never that!

“These days people believe everything that they see on TV and these blogs,” he continued. “I have been dedicated to youth organizations and wish to continue to support them and I do not want my community and especially young people that look up to me to think that this is the type of thing that I would do.”

As previously reported Too $hort is currently free after posting bond, but he could face up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine if convicted. He is due back in court on August 4. —Elan Mancini

I’m leaning towards believing Too Short on this one. This dude has done a lot to help the kids. He also has always carried himself with dignity and respect. You never heard stupid charges or ignorant behavior from him throughout his entire career. If he was young and didn’t get rowdy, why would he get older and become a rebel? It sounds like the cops were on some serious “Oh, you’re a rapper and you think you’re all that” bullshit.

But then again….. I wasn’t there so I can only speculate. That’s what courts are for.

  From the jump I wasn’t rolling with that story.
  
  If there’s any situation going on with underage chicks, it’s the club’s fault, they were inside in the 1st place.

when i read this shit over the wknd, I knew the media was gonna try and make this bullshit more than what it is, and paint short in a negative manner. Short is a pimp. Never seen him without at least 2 or 3 bad ones. I don’t believe this niggas was even remotely close to doin some dumb shit like that. Fuck the POLICE!!!!!!

I stand behind Short 200% on this one. There are too many cases of people going with made up shit and half truths to push a story. I got one word for the prosecutor in Idaho… Biiiiiittttttccccccchhhhhhhhh!!

People think he’s the character in his albums, and sadly people are too stupid to know the difference. This man would never be dumb enough to do something like this. Screw these people for messing with him. This is entertainment, and yet people and often the police think he’s some kind of animal. People should learn about who he really is first despite wjat he raps or sings about sometimes. Keep fightin’ Todd!
