JUJU OF THE BEATNUTS ARRESTED IN SWEDEN


Rapper Ju-Ju, one half of Queens, NY based duo The Beatnuts, was arrested following a performance in Stockholm, Sweden on Thursday night (December 13). According to Sweden’s The Local, Ju-Ju—whose real name is Jerry Tineo—was taken into custody and charged with assault after a minor fight broke out following the group’s set at the Debaser Medis venue. Police spokesman Bo Olsson told The Local that the charges were relatively minor and had the rapper been a Swedish citizen, he would have been released the same night. However, since he is considered a possible flight risk, Ju-Ju could be held for as long as 36 hours. - XXL
