Khujo Explains Jail Ordeal
Khujo Goodie was released from Henry County jail last week after serving 42 days. Details were sketchy, but he was charged with felony weapons possession. Now that he’s a free man, he explains toMTV how he landed in the big house.
“I was on probation in 1990, got off in 1993,” Khujo explained. “But Fulton County never put it through in the computer and never let them know I was all good. I had them firearms back when [Goodie Mob] dropped our first album, when we got our first check. You now how us country boys do, we got to have some rifles. So I’m thinking, I must be Gucci, all good. That was 15, 16 years, almost 20 years ago. The Feds was on me. They thought I was a gun-runner. I was like, ‘Why you wanna fuck with me?’ They was like, ‘T.I., guns! Soulja Boy, guns!’ And they said, ‘Khujo Goodie [guns!].’
To make matters worse, Khujo also had an unrelated case pending. He was facing 15 years, but after several court battles, the judge truncated his sentence if he committed to performing and speaking at youth endorsed events.
“We’re talking about going into the schools, getting drug-awareness programs going. Maybe doing a show for the kids,” Khujo added. “If it’s for the community, believe it or not, that’s what we do.”
Khujo is due back in court next Tuesday (Aug 3) to be resentenced.
