It looks like Webbie really got in touch with Jesus during the Easter holiday. The Baton Rouge, La. rapper was baptized on Sunday (April 5) and shared the moment with the world by capturing it on video.
TMZ reports that Webbie was at a Louisiana church Sunday when a preacher asked if anyone wanted to be baptized. The rapper reportedly raised his and said “the good Lord” told him to take the plunge.
While this move is a positive one for the “Independent” rhymer, he has had his fair share of run-ins with the law. In 2008, he was involved in a car chase in Mississippi and arrested for possession, DUI and a number of other charges. Then three years later, he was busted for marijuana possession in Tennessee in 2011. That same year, Webbie was permanently banned from BET after allegedly sexually harassing 106 & Park host Rocsi Diaz. And in 2012, he was arrested for allegedly kicking a woman down a flight of stairs.
As you can see from that little recap of his law-breaking ways, perhaps this spiritual act will keep him out of trouble.
