Wiz and his Taylor Gang crew reflect on a time they got arrested on tour for toking too openly at East Carolina University in Greenville, North Carolina.

Chevy Woods added that the cops were lurking around them while they were wrapping up their performance and towards the end of the show began pulling members of Wizs team off the stage, starting with his manager Will Dzombak. I finished the song and I go outside, Wiz continued. Im trying to run, Im trying to dip. I see the bus, they already by the bus, they got n-ggas lined up outside the bus. Im like damn. They searched the bus. We standing outside. Kids start coming out of their shows. So they started seeing that. Theyre like, yo, get the fuck off of Wiz man, blah, blah, blah. They tell us, Were going to put you in the car for your safety. I was like, that dont sound right. He continued, They locked all ten of us up. They charge us with three felonies, said that we were kidnapping, said that we were using the bus for housing to sell weed state-to-state. Wiz and his detained crew members had their bail set at $3 million. At first Wiz thought about calling Diddy after they had recently partied together, but Wiz said his merch handler, Motor, realized there was $100,000 worth of merch money stashed on the bus, which was just enough to free Wiz and his manager, Will. From there, the pair hired a lawyer who was able to get the charges dismissed.
