Too Short speaks

West Coast Rapper Too short sent a written letter to yorap.com

This is what he had to say:

“The accusations against me regarding my arrest in Idaho on July 15th, were untrue and exaggerated,” said Short in a written statement. “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 Short 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!”

Short went on to add that people tend to believe everything they read in blogs or on TV, so he wanted to make sure that they know that he would not be involved in that sort of situation.

“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.”

The Bay Area rapper was arrested and charged with three counts of misdemeanor battery on July 15th. He was released after posting bond and will report back to court on August 4th. If he is found guilty he will face up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine.

I’m glad he cleared that up, cus I was giving him the side eye…
