Scarface was getting a lot more recognition this weekend other than at the BET Awards. Minutes after accepting the channels “I Am Hip Hop” award, the Houston rapper was arrested in Atlanta on Friday night.

Scarface, also known as Brad Jordan, released 12 albums as a solo artist, but initially gained fame as a member of the Geto Boys in the late 1980s.

The charge was for unpaid child support which there was an outstanding warrant open. The rapper was taken to Fulton County Jail, where he was reportedly still at this morning, according to SPIN.

Entertainment blogger FreddyO described the incident in more detail:

After Scarface exited the stage heading back to the celebrity trailers there were 10 sherriffs waiting to arrest him. Sources revealed that Scarface had a warrant and he was not suppose to leave the State of Texas. Scarface was so concerned about accepting his award and not disappointing his fans he risked being arrested. Snoop was back stage when Scarface was arrested and was upset that; the great moment ended on a sour note. The incident resulted in the show being delayed.

The BET Hip Hop Awards will air on Tuesday, October 13 at 8:00 EST.
