Gillie Da Kid´s Camp Issues Statement On Arrest

[Damien J.]

Philadelphia born rapper Gillie Da Kid was arrested on Tuesday (Feb. 6), after authorities learned he was allegedly running two drug houses. The Police confiscated 89 pounds of marijuana worth $404,000. Gillie and his associates were arrested when they attempted to leave in their luxury vehicles, which included a Lexus and Jaguar.

Statement from Gillie´s manager:

"I am confirming the fact that Gillie was indeed taken into custody and arrested by the Philadelphia Police Department on Tuesday, February 6, 2007. However, the charges are unwarranted and once Gillie has his day in court, we are confident that the evidence against him will prove to be false. The Philadelphia Police Department is clearly using Gillie’s status as a hip hop artist and entertainer to draw media attention to him. This was clearly a case of him being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Gillie is in no way guilty of the charges brought against him and once all facts come to light, he will be fully exhonerated. Gillie is in high spirits and wants to thank the whole hip hop community for their support and well wishes during this time. Gillie recently signed a Mixtape Album Deal with Babygrande Records to release a “Best of Gillie Da Kid Mixtapes” which will be dropping in stores March 13 featuring Gillie along with the whole Major Figgas Crew."
