On June 2, 2016 Freddie Gibbs was arrested for sexual abuse by French police while on his Shadow of a Doubt Tour. The arrest was from an earlier incident that occurred in Vienna, Austria on July 6, 2015.
At the time two girls — then age 16 and 17 — alleged that one of Gibbs' friends sexually assaulted them, but didn't mention Gibbs's name. Then, in May of 2016, the girls told police that they had a flashback and remembered that Gibbs had sexually abused them, just like his friend did.
In a new tell-all interview, the Indiana spitter spoke about the incident, being in jail and the trial that ultimately acquitted him. During the chat, he was adamant about was never touching either of the girls. Only his friend did.
"I had a show in Vienna, Austria," Freddie explained. "A regular night. I did my show. People [were] backstage. The show went well. There were a lot of people backstage, DJs, other artists, females, of course ... When [the girls] came back to the [hotel] they were with the homies, and I went up to my room, and I went to sleep. Whatever happened past that I don't know, because I wasn't up for it. Apparently, the girls came to one of the homies' room, and they had sex."Freddie also talked about the horrible conditions that he faced while being locked up in Austria.
"It was horrible," he recalled. "I'm a black American ... 'This is where Adolf Hitler was born.' That's all that was running through my head."Later in the interview, Freddie talked about what his fiancée and baby's mother Erica Dickerson said to him after the charges came down.
"She knew I didn't do that shit, so it wasn't even a question," he stated. "And I love her for that. She never thought that I was lying. I never got that ridicule at all from her."You can read Freddie's entire interview and everything that happened to him here.
