On Tuesday (November 8), Tierra Whack was reportedly detained and cited for disorderly conduct after she allegedly brought a loaded gun into an airport in her hometown of Philadelphia.

Authorities believe the incident was an honest mistake, the outlet reports, as Whack wasn’t intentionally trying to bring the weapon onboard, nor did she intend to hurt someone.

In Pennsylvania, Whack is licensed to carry a firearm, but it is against federal law to bring one on an airplane. The gun was reportedly confiscated and Tierra was issued a disorderly conduct citation. She was released after a short detention.

It isn’t currently clear what further disciplinary action will come against the Whack World artist.
