It's been years since Big Boy weighed over 500 pounds, but the radio host still remembers a time when his heavy frame helped him hide not one but two guns during a traffic stop in the 1990s.
In a recent appearance on Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson's All The Smoke show, Big Boy recalled a time in which he concealed a gun under his belly fat after getting stopped by police in Los Angeles.
According to Big Boy, the incident occurred on June 17, 1994, the same day O.J. Simpson fled from the LAPD in his Ford Bronco. At the time, Big Boy, who weighed over 500 pounds, was a bodyguard for The Pharcyde, who were in the Bay Area that June to do some shows. The Los Angeles group decided they wanted to hang out for a few more days with Souls of Mischief, which resulted in Big Boy driving back to L.A. by himself.
Police pulled Big Boy over in Culver City as the then-bodyguard was driving an Astro van he rented from a man affiliated with the Rollin' 30s Crips. As such, the van had a stash spot under the seat, which prompted the police to question Big Boy about where he was hiding a gun in the vehicle.
After searching the vehicle, Big Boy was patted down multiple times by the cops, who continued asking him where he was hiding a weapon. Alas, the police never found his gun, though they arrested him due to two outstanding traffic warrants and booked him in jail.
Hours later, Big Boy was picked up from jail by his brother just in time to avoid being taken to county jail and strip-searched. While the pair were walking down the street, Big Boy lifted his shirt and pulled out two guns he'd hidden under his belly fat. Watch him tell the full story above.
