UGK’s Pimp C’s Car Totaled by Fleeing Gang Members

Friday, April 21, 2006

Pimp CRecently liberated UGK member Pimp C was treated for a few minor injuries following a car accident while leaving the set for his new video “Pourin’ Up.” Pimp C and a security guard for Rap-A-Lot left in a silver Bentley while rapper Mike Jones, who is featured in the video, followed in his black Bentley.

Sources say that about a mile away from the set, two groups of people were involved in an altercation. One group began firing shots at the other and the police escorting C, Jones, and their associates began to pursue the shooters. The assailants drove through the surrounding neighborhoods and eventually ran a red light crossing in the path of the Texas rapper. Pimp C was treated and released but the security guard riding with him is still in the hospital though expected to make a full recovery.

One of the producers on the set, Keisha Hunter cleared up rumors that C had been a target in the incident or even had been shot and simply stated he was a victim of circumstance, “It is truly unfortunate that these gentleman were innocent bystanders that happened to drive through the wrong place at the wrong time," she stated. "The local residents that were shooting at one another were all apprehended and the Port Arthur police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the motivation for them shooting at one another. At no time was Pimp C nor Mike Jones the targets of the shots that were fired and at no time were any of them injured by the gunfire that was more than a block ahead of them."

Three alleged gang members were apprehended in connection to the case."The accident was crazy," said rapper Mike Jones. "I seen it first hand I'm just glad that everyone is OK."

Pimp C’s album titled, “Pimpilation” is set for a June 13 release date.

Whats worse the fact that the media potrays hip hop artists to be a bunch of dope dealing, drug addicted, violent, mudering, profain, sensless, petty , pointless, womanizing, vain, zombie muthaphuckas....or that we dont do much to prove em wrong?? i usually lol...but im serious....

True that kalliope...... "the coup" got a hot lp dropping tuesday. Yayo and young buck just donated $$$$$ to four high schools schools..... Where's the positive press at??? but a fool jack a car or a shooting happens in rap.....the media all over it. Just out to dis-credit this hip hop thing of ours. It's getting sickening.

I think a lot of people are mad that hip-hop is like the strongest thing in music right now and they will do anything they can to discredit it.

I ran accross this webpage after doing a search online, i have read your comments in response to this unfortunate situation. Please allow me to set a few things straight. At no time did pimp c, nor mike jones involved with the situation that was preexisting when they drove down the street in port arthur. Kalliope4eva, i ensure you that it is okay to lol, these gentleman were true professionals and the video shoot ran very smoothly and was alot of fun. As much as i wish we could turn back the hands of time and prevent the whole situation which occured, none of us have control over what people that we don't know, have never seen before and have nothing to do with will do in their own actions. Simply put, the men that were shooting and the men in the impala that hit pimps car were strangers to all of us. It truly was a freak accident. So, to whoreson i say, yes, i do believe that people have over time and will continue to try to discredit hip-hop, but the unfortunateness to this is that the account that you have read is true, and there is no slander in factual accounts of events. Wednesday evening, there were slanderous and incorrect accounts and i wanted to correct that. I released an official statement because my phone has been ringing off the hook since wednesday night with calls from labels, artists and producers and regular folks from around the country. People being as they are had taken a little bit of information and turned it into misinformation. As the producer i am responsible for the pr

...cont'd. From previoius post: production of this video and everything surrounding it. Misinformation, such as the varying reports that i had recieved can be damaging to the production company, label, artists and their families............................. I hope the official account that i have provided and that you read here on nobodysmiling will put an end to wreckless conversation, rumors and gossip.

Damn kalliope4eva....i guess your a superstar now. You got keisha hunter (producer of the pimpc video) responding to what you said....you get brownie points for that....lol....but yeah...i definintly feel where you and sair are coming from. However, when i first read the title of the article..i thought here we go again...pimp c getting into more trouble but i guess this time he was just at the wrong place at the wrong time.
